Intern
Remote - United States
About the Role
We are looking for an intern to work across Blackboard during Summer 2026. You will sit at the intersection of product development and go-to-market, contributing to projects that will help create the new Blackboard. Paired with a dedicated supervisor for day-to-day guidance, you’ll have defined projects, opportunities to learn, network, and work independently.
What You'll Do
Contribute to active workstreams across functions as we work fast to build what's next, including by:
Bringing your learner perspective into product work — your fluency with how students actually use Blackboard is an asset we want you to represent
Using AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, and similar) as a daily part of your workflow
Participating in user research, feature evaluation, and feedback loops with current Blackboard users
Attending meetings across teams
Reflecting on your thoughts and observations
What You'll Get
Meaningful exposure to a company rebuilding a category — meetings, feedback, and professional development
Dedicated leadership and regular check-ins
End-to-end project ownership at intern scope, with real production impact
A written performance evaluation at the end of the placement
Required Skills and Experience
Pursuing a bachelor's or master's degree at the time of the internship
Demonstrated expertise using Blackboard as a learner — you have used the platform meaningfully in your own coursework and can speak to what works, what doesn't, and what today's students actually expect from a learning environment
Ability to move fast, make good decisions under ambiguity, and ask questions to learn
Strong backgrounds in technology and leadership
Fluency in written and spoken English
Preferred Skills and Experience
Interest in staying on the bleeding edge of the AI ecosystem — Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI Agent SDK, MCPs, and whatever comes next World Resources Institute
Familiarity with current debates around AI in education
