[Hiring] Intern @Blackboard

Role Description

We are looking for an intern to work across Blackboard. You will sit at the intersection of service and support, contributing to projects that will help create the new Blackboard. Paired with a dedicated supervisor for day-to-day guidance, you’ll have defined projects, opportunities to learn, network, and work independently.

What You'll Do

• Contribute to active workstreams across functions as we work fast to build what's next, including by:
• Bringing your learner perspective into product work — your fluency with how students actually use Blackboard is an asset we want you to represent.
• Using AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, and similar) as a daily part of your workflow.
• Participating in user research, feature evaluation, and feedback loops with current Blackboard users.
• Attending meetings across teams.
• Reflecting on your thoughts and observations.

What You'll Get

• Meaningful exposure to a company rebuilding a category — meetings, feedback, and professional development.
• Dedicated leadership and regular check-ins.
• End-to-end project ownership at intern scope, with real production impact.
• A written performance evaluation at the end of the placement.

Qualifications

• Pursuing a bachelor's or master's degree at the time of the internship.
• Demonstrated expertise using Blackboard as a learner — you have used the platform meaningfully in your own coursework and can speak to what works, what doesn't, and what today's students actually expect from a learning environment.
• Ability to move fast, make good decisions under ambiguity, and ask questions to learn.
• Strong backgrounds in services/support and leadership.
• Fluency in written and spoken English.

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Interest in staying on the bleeding edge of the AI ecosystem — Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI Agent SDK, MCPs, and whatever comes next.
• Familiarity with current debates around AI in education.

Compensation

The expected hourly rate for this position is $20/hour.

Requirements

• Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the country where the role is based at the time of hire and must maintain that authorization for the duration of employment.
• The company does not provide visa sponsorship or immigration support for this position.
