Software Engineering Intern
ConductorOne is the first AI-native identity security platform that protects every identity: human, non-human, and AI. We make it possible for enterprises to move beyond the limitations of legacy identity governance—reducing their attack surface while actually improving the experience for everyone involved.
Forward-thinking companies like DigitalOcean, Instacart, Ramp, and Zscaler trust ConductorOne to secure their identities. We're backed by top investors and growing fast, but we're still small enough that every engineer shapes the product and culture.
As a Software Engineering Intern at ConductorOne, you will learn to help build the future of identity security automation.

How We Work
Ship, Ship, Ship—we bias toward action. We'd rather ship something and learn than debate endlessly. Iteration beats perfection.
Build with AI—we use AI tools daily to write code, review PRs, explore ideas, and move faster. If you're not excited about this, we're not the right fit.
Earn the Customer's Trust—we build for real problems, not hypothetical ones. We talk to customers constantly and take their security seriously.
Practice Compassionate Candor—we give direct feedback because we care about each other's growth. Ego takes a back seat to getting it right.
Be the Conductor—we take ownership of outcomes, not just tasks. If something needs doing, we do it.

We're looking for people with passion, grit, and integrity. We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't precisely match every requirement above. We welcome diverse perspectives and people who think rigorously and aren't afraid to challenge assumptions.
