About the role
Hey there, future intern
We’re Checkbook – a team of creative problem solvers modernizing payments and doing cool things in the Fin Tech space. We are a hybrid org, collaborate across time zones, and believe interns can (and should) do real, meaningful work!
We don’t have a hyper‑specific internship role listed right now. Why? Because we're building a pool of awesome, curious people to tap into as new projects pop up across different teams. Think of this as your invitation to raise your hand and say, “Hey, I want in.”
This is for you if you’re someone who:
Likes to learn by doing
Enjoys figuring things out (even if you don’t have all the answers yet)
Wants a front row seat to startup life
Is excited to contribute, not just observe
Might not know your exact dream role yet … but you’re open to the adventure
What you could get involved with (depending on the team):
Researching stuff and sharing what you find
Organizing chaos into calm (we love that energy)
Supporting teams like Ops, Marketing, Recruiting, Product, Customer Support, Sales or Compliance
Helping make things more efficient, user friendly, or just plain better
Bringing your unique brain to the table … we’re totally into that
What we offer:
Hybrid or remote options available depending on the team. Either way, it's a win … our in‑office space is a 10/10 experience.
Paid or for‑credit opportunities
Real work that matters, not just busy work
A friendly team that will support you, cheer you on, and maybe Slack you memes
Possibly cats on Google Meet. No promises, but it happens.
It is our policy to provide equal opportunities for all employees in relation to recruitment, training and promotion. Decisions in these areas will be made only by reference to the requirements of the job and shall not be influenced by any consideration of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, race (including color, nationality and ethnic and national origin), religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation.
If you are interested in applying for employment and need special assistance or an accommodation to use our website to apply for a position, please contact us directly.

Voluntary Self-Identification
For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self‑identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.
As set forth in Checkbook’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.
If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:
A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service‑connected disability.
A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three‑year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.
An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.
An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.
Select…
Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability
We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.
Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
