About Pavilion

Pavilion is on a mission to improve the lives of all Americans by making public procurement work better. Public buyers spend $2T/year of taxpayer dollars on everything local governments need, from school buses to veterinary supplies. But unlike modern online shopping, buying on behalf of the public can take months – or even years – and relies on technology that largely hasn’t changed since the ‘90s.

We believe that government purchasers deserve technology that’s as advanced and user-friendly as the products they can use to order groceries or hire a babysitter. Our marketplace matches public buyers with suppliers they are pre-qualified to buy from, helping public servants deliver better government to residents and more businesses participate in public sector problem-solving.

About this role

We’re recruiting two Software Engineering Interns to join our tight-knit, dynamic engineering team for the summer of 2025. You’ll help grow Pavilion’s marketplace and improve how public servants find and partner with businesses across the country. In particular, you will:

  • Build new features and systems for our users together with other eng.

  • Collaborate with a PM to identify impactful improvements to our product.

  • Work closely with a designer to create delightful user flows.

  • Learn on the job as you progress from tackling small fixes and features to eventually leading your own project!

You’re likely a good fit if you have:

  • Prior working experience (e.g. at another internship) with either Javascript (React preferred) or Python (Django preferred), and enthusiasm for diving in full-stack.

  • Prior working experience (e.g. at another internship) shipping code to a production environment with real-world users.

  • A graduation date no later than summer 2026.

  • Strong collaboration and communication skills.

  • Excitement to have an outsized impact on our company and for the social consequences of making government more efficient.

Our Culture:

This hybrid role is based in our downtown San Francisco office. Most of our team members work from our office 3 days a week. When we’re in the office, we eat lunch together, hang out at Thursday team socials, and occasionally do procurement-themed scavenger hunts. Our engineering team is energetic, mission-oriented, and friendly. We’d be so excited for you to join!

Our Values:

  • Empower public servants: We strive to build products and experiences that enable public sector buyers to better serve the public. Our decisions are anchored by our expertise, empathy, and relationships with public sector buyers.

  • Champion ensemble: We do our best work alongside teammates that are highly collaborative, curious, and courageous. We’re hungry to improve ourselves, each other, and our organization.

  • Build a big tent: We care about building spaces that are welcoming and inclusive. In our product and as a team, we put in extra effort to support and enable diverse groups and move the public sector procurement industry forward.

Pavilion’s compensation philosophy: We strive to achieve compensation that is fair, competitive, and right-sized to our company. We make our best offer to candidates up-front.

  • Salary: This is an hourly compensated role. The expected comp range is $60-$65/hour.

Join our team to deliver business and social impact at the speed of a startup and the scale of government.

Equal Opportunity

We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace committed to building a team culture that celebrates diversity and inclusion.
