Software Engineering Intern
Software Engineering Intern – Wellacy Health
Company Overview
Wellacy Health, a proud Techstars portfolio company, is a B2B Tech-Enabled Services Health Tech startup. We deliver high-quality, connected care to medically vulnerable populations.
Our mission is rooted in addressing disparities in healthcare — especially the "zip code‑based life expectancy" problem - and giving people their lives back.
We sell to medical practices, hospitals, and health centers, and we equip doctors and medical teams with technology and services that empower them to better engage, monitor, and treat their patients — while generating new revenue for delivering better care.
The Internship
We’re hiring Software Engineering Interns to join our growing team on a paid internship for both undergraduate and graduate students majoring in computer science and/or software engineering.
You’ll get hands-on experience building features that directly impact real customers — not side projects. The work that you do will directly and significantly impact our customers and our business.
The ideal intern is a quick learner, a great communicator, and not afraid to ask questions.
Interns will participate in all aspects of a software engineering role. You will go through the design process and have ownership over implementing features. You will also participate in design and feature prioritization conversations.
If you’re interested in an internship experience where you will learn a lot, be challenged, and see your work directly bring value to customers, we’d love to meet you!
