Workstream is a mission-driven company building the all-in-one HR, payroll, and hiring platform for managing the hourly workforce. There are 2.7 billion hourly workers, making up 80% of the global workforce, but this market has been heavily underserved by technology and deserves better. Workstream has been purpose-built for the hourly workforce from day one so that these businesses and their employees can thrive.
Our customers include leading brands from multiple sectors, including Burger King, Carl's Jr./Hardee's, IHOP, KFC, and Culvers. We are a high growth series B company and quickly expanding our product portfolio to deliver on our vision. We are backed by legendary VCs and industry experts like Founders Fund, BOND, and Coatue.
Grow With Us
We are hiring Full-Stack Engineering Interns to join our HRIS Product team in San Francisco for the 2026 or 2027 cohort. This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you’ll ship real features to production, work closely with senior engineers, and go deep on AI.
The defining focus of this cohort is agent development—you’ll build, evaluate, and iterate on AI agents using modern Agent Development Kits (ADKs) to automate complex HRIS workflows and unlock new product capabilities.
We’re looking for engineers who are comfortable across the full stack—from building React interfaces that surface AI-powered insights, to developing backend services in Rails or Go, to designing and deploying intelligent agents. This role is best suited for candidates who want to go deep across both the product and intelligence layers; pure front-end specialization will not be the right fit.
This is a full-time internship role with a duration of 6–12 months, operating on a rolling intake beginning in Q3 2026 or Q1 2027. The role reports directly to the Engineering Manager and follows a hybrid setup based in our San Francisco office, requiring three days per week onsite.
Day in the Life
You will be embedded in our HRIS product engineering team. Depending on your track, your work may include:
AI & Agent Development
Full-Stack Product Engineering
Who You Are
Nice to have
Who You Are
Our Tech Stack
Getting familiar with any of these before you join will give you a head start:
Growth & Mentorship
This is not a ticket-grinding internship. You will have weekly 1:1s with your engineering lead, attend team planning sessions, and present your work to senior leadership. Strong interns are considered for full-time roles. We move fast, so the ceiling on your impact is set by you, not by your title.
