Software Engineering Intern

Part-time or Full-time · Los Angeles (Hybrid) · Spring/Summer 2026

Hotels, stadiums, and distributors throw away huge amounts of food that could be used as animal feed or turned into compost. Almost all of it goes to landfills.

We built the logistics + processing system to route that material somewhere better. Each month we move 400+ tons of food waste from partners like Marriott hotels, Crypto.com Arena, and grocery distributors—into onsite in-vessel composting and to farms across Southern California where it becomes livestock feed and organic fertilizer.

Now we’re building the software that runs the operation: tracking pickups, weights, contamination, processing outcomes, and the proof trail that shows where everything went. This includes handling messy real-world data (weight tickets, photos, edge cases) and building tools operators actually rely on.

 

 

What you’ll build

You’ll own one meaningful project end-to-end. Examples:

  • Waste invoice explorer: search/filter invoice line items, tonnage analysis, exportable reports
  • Ops data dashboard: surface missing weights, anomalies, and duplicate weight tickets
  • Photo + CV ingestion: classify waste photos and generate insights to reduce upstream food waste

 

 

Who this is for

  • Master’s student in CS (or equivalent experience) with full-stack experience
  • Strong fundamentals: data structures + system design
  • Can take a vague workflow and ship a clean feature with attention to UX + edge cases
  • Nice to have: Postgres/Supabase, React, data app experience, interest in computer vision or hardware

 

 

What you get

  • Experience building software that will be used daily by operators in the field
  • A real shipped project you can demo and add to your portfolio
  • End-to-end ownership: you’ll scope the problem with operators, propose the approach, design and build the feature, and ship it to production with real feedback loop

 

 

To apply

Email jobs@dyrt.co with:

  • Resume
  • Link to a project you’re proud of with a working demo we can explore, plus 3–5 sentences on what you built and what you personally owned
  • (Optional) Which project type you prefer: product UI, backend/data, ingestion/reliability, or other
  • Answer: What is one thing you’ve upcycled or recycled?
