Impinj is seeking a full-stack SaaS and IoT Software Engineering Intern to join the Enterprise Solutions team. The intern will design and build an edge compute package that integrates with Impinj’s cloud-based fleet management platform, enabling customers to write code in high-level languages and deploy with a click, significantly simplifying developer experience for RAIN RFID technology.
What You'll Do
- Design and implement an edge compute runtime that lets customers write reader applications in a high-level language
- Build the supporting cloud infrastructure: bundle build/CI/CD, deployment, versioning, and rollback
- Create an intuitive API that exposes reader functions to the runtime, with clear documentation
- Integrate with our fleet management platform for configuration, deployment, and state reporting
- Build UI components for code management in the admin console
- Work directly with Product Management and the SVP of Engineering to translate product vision into technical implementation
- Characterize and optimize performance: CPU, binary size, network usage, and memory footprint
- Deliver a working proof-of-concept that demonstrates a radically simpler developer experience
What We're Looking For
- Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's program in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or similar program
- Experience with low level languages like C/C++/Rust in resource constrained environments
- Solid grasp of computer science basics, but also software development best practices
- You take initiative, work independently, and find ways to overcome obstacles
- You thrive in close collaboration, communicate clearly, and know how to get stuff done on a team
Nice to Have
- Showcase your side projects or open-source contributions
- We care less about credentials and more about what you've built. Show us impressive coursework, side projects, open-source contributions, or anything else that proves you can write good software and solve hard problems
- You're genuinely excited about building things; you ask good questions, dig into how things work, and bring enthusiasm to the team
- This project has design, product, and business strategy dimensions. We want someone who's interested in those considerations and can integrate them into technical decisions
