About Us
At Splash, our mission is to make music creation accessible for everyone. Since 2017, we’ve been at the forefront of AI-driven music technology, building experiences that empower the next generation of creators. Our web and gaming-based music tools, including those on platforms like Roblox, have introduced millions to music production in fun and engaging ways.
Backed by leading investors including Amazon’s Alexa Fund and Khosla Ventures, we’re assembling a team of talented engineers, designers, musicians, and product experts who are passionate about redefining the future of music tech.
Applications for internships and graduate roles are open to students, recent graduates, and those early in their careers.
The Role
As a Software Engineering Intern at Splash, you’ll work with our engineers, product designers, and game developers to build and improve our music tools across web and gaming. You’ll be turning ideas into reality—developing, testing, and optimizing scalable, high-performance, and secure software.
This role is perfect for those who love solving problems, learning new technologies, and collaborating in a fast-paced, product-driven startup. You’ll gain experience working across the full stack, from front-end development to backend architecture and databases, and even UX design.
We expect our interns to be independent problem-solvers - while you’ll work alongside experienced engineers, you’ll also be given opportunities to troubleshoot and explore solutions yourself. You’ll be encouraged to push boundaries, dive into new tech, and embrace AI tools that help speed up your workflow.

- Debug, troubleshoot, and optimize applications for performance and security.
- Assist with UX/UI improvements, making our products more intuitive and engaging.
- Work closely with senior engineers to implement product features while also taking ownership of independent tasks.
- Stay up to date with new technologies and trends in software engineering, gaming, and AI-driven development.
- Collaborate with engineers, designers, and product managers to test, provide feedback, and enhance our products.
- Participate in team meetings, code reviews, and knowledge-sharing sessions to level up your skills.

What to Expect
- Work alongside a small but powerful team of experts from companies like Spotify, SoundCloud, Twitch, Amazon, and Apple.
- Gain hands-on experience in a startup environment where your contributions directly impact our products.
- Learn best practices in software engineering, AI tools, and product development from experienced mentors.
