Product Development Intern
About The Position
This is a general internship application for students interested in Software Engineering, Quality Assurance, UI/UX Design, and Product Management at Kinective. We’re looking for bright and driven students and professionals who are excited to apply what they’ve learned in the classroom to real-world products used by financial institutions across the country. As an intern within our Product Development teams, you’ll gain hands-on experience across the full product lifecycle—from idea to design, build, test, and release. You won’t be fetching coffee or watching from the sidelines. Instead, you’ll work directly with experienced product managers, engineers, designers, QA analysts, and DevOps professionals on meaningful projects that ship to production. This internship is ideal for students exploring early-career paths in product, engineering, or design—and looking to graduate with practical experience, stronger technical and collaboration skills, and a clearer sense of where they want to grow next. Kinective’s internship program spans 12 weeks, beginning June 1, 2025 and concluding August 21, 2025. This is a paid position at $20/hour. Candidates must reside within commuting distance of our headquarters in Golden, CO.
