About Loom
Loom is on a mission to empower everyone at work to communicate more effectively, wherever they are. We are already trusted by over 12M users across 200k+ companies. Our customers are global and use Loom at work at world-class companies including Netflix, HubSpot, Atlassian, Juniper Networks, and Twitter.
Founded in 2015, Loom has raised over $200 million from top-tier investors including Sequoia Capital, Kleiner Perkins, Coatue, and Andreessen Horowitz.
The Role:
Loom is excited to be offering engineering internships for Summer 2022 for candidates who are pursuing a Bachelor's degree program in Computer Science or a related field with an anticipated graduation date on or after December 2022. Our second intern class will work closely with our engineering team to help build the next iteration of our creation and collaboration tools for Loom. As a company, we are looking to accelerate information flow between every member of the global workforce. Be it making Loom's video creation tools faster or more delightful, working with our infrastructure team to make our services more performant and reliable, or surfacing the right content in a shared team library to the right audience, you will be working on well-scoped projects that help us learn how to expand the base of how Loom functions as a workplace communication tool.
By the end of your internship, we hope that you walk away confident and fulfilled. You will have delivered real value to our 12M+ strong users while collaborating with a world-class product, design, & engineering team. You will also have learned new skills and gained experience in a high-growth startup that will give you great perspective for your future career aspirations.
Note: We are unable to have interns internationally and only open to the US at this time.
Your Experience:
- Over the course of 3 months, you will be paired with a Software Engineer at Loom and be given a fully scoped project to build a new feature for Loom. The goal is that this feature will be a full functioning engineering artifact by the time you complete your internship that may be launched to production.
- You will be responsible for building a beautiful, snappy, and native-feeling UI experience in a key area of our product to assist video creation and collaboration or you will help enhance the tooling that our teams use to deliver great products to market.
- You will build a feature end-to-end: through conception, exploration, iteration, maintenance, and polish, in partnership with your engineering host.
- You will collaborate and be supported by Product, Design, and Infrastructure to build features in support of the feature development.
What We're Looking For:
- Experience coding in JavaScript.
- Curiosity and willingness to learn.
- Pursuing a technical degree in Computer Science or related field or training experience with a focus on subjects in software development.
- Passion for productivity tools and supporting power users.
- Great design intuition and user empathy.
- Passion for UI fluidity and performance.
How We Work
Freedom and Flexibility: At Loom, we believe work is an act, not a place. When we disengage work from a location, we can accommodate a broad range of life choices. You can choose to work from home or while you travel. If you are in the Bay Area, you can drop by our San Francisco office on 2nd and Market St. when reopens in Fall 2021. We are able to hire across the United States and Canada* and are continuing to expand our international presence. And you are free to move within a country without any adjustment to compensation.
Engaging Workday: The key to an engaging workday is finding the right balance between different ways to work sync, async, text and video. Loom makes it easier for us to say what we mean without having to schedule a zoom meeting or struggle to find the right words. And using async communication allows us to free up time for deep work every day. We believe there's a place for sync time - often a conversation on Zoom is exactly what is needed. For team meetings, this ‘sync time’ is typically between 9AM-Noon PT given where the overlap of timezones where Loommates are located.
Work-Rest Balance: The way we balance the fast-paced demands of a high-growth startup and sustainability is making rest a priority. We offer a flexible PTO policy so you're able to take time off when you need it. We also go fully offline once a year between Christmas and New Year (and twice during the Pandemic). Rest is also part of the workday, not just during PTO. Taking a break for personal commitments, whether it's watching the kids or getting some exercise is natural part of the workday.
Social Connection: Relationships and connectedness matter. We are intentional about building trust and relationships through unique, shared experiences. Our virtual workspace keeps us connected day-to-day whether it's through Looms celebrating wins or our buzzing Slack communities. Loommates are able to meet in person with their teams at least twice a year purely for fun. We're also building local offices for those who want to work or meet in person, starting with San Francisco and New York City in Fall 2021.
Loom = Equal Opportunity Employer
We are actively seeking to create a diverse work environment because teams are stronger with different perspectives and experiences.

We do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, religion, color, national origin, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. All employees and contractors of Loom are responsible for maintaining a work culture free from discrimination and harassment by treating others with kindness and respect.
