Engineering Intern - Pear VC

About Pear VC

Pear VC is a top-tier early-stage venture capital firm based in Silicon Valley. We specialize in partnering with founders at the pre-seed and seed stages, helping them build iconic companies from the ground up. Our portfolio includes category defining companies like DoorDash, Guardant Health, Branch, Affinity, and Gusto. We are hands-on partners who invest early, roll up our sleeves to help founders hire, build, and scale - and we’re deeply embedded in the startup ecosystem.

We’re looking for a Software Engineering Intern to join our team for a hands-on, product-focused role at a top-tier VC firm.

This is a rare opportunity to build real products that support both our internal teams and the founders we invest in — while gaining direct exposure to the startup ecosystem.

In This Role, You Will

• Build and ship internal and external tools for a range of users (technical and non-technical)
• Work alongside founders building companies in-office and support them through product solutions
• Learn from experienced operators
• Get behind-the-scenes exposure to how startups are evaluated and funded
• Strengthen your ability to assess which companies are likely to succeed — a critical skill for your future career
• Grow your professional network across top founders, investors, and builders
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• Rising sophomore or (ideally) rising junior
• Completed at least introductory CS coursework
• Strong interest in product development and building for real-world users
• Excited to learn in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment
• Passionate about startups, technology, and making an impact
