Fullstack Software Engineer Internship (2027/2028)

This role is prioritised for students currently enrolled at a Singapore-based institution in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline.

You will join our development team and build features end to end, from working frontend to backend, designing APIs and MCP servers, improving test coverage, to deploying your work through CI/CD pipelines. AI-assisted development is a core part of our engineering practice and you will build practical skills in using these tools effectively while retaining ownership of the code you ship.

While the custom services team focus on client work, the products team builds products and platforms for custom AI and XR* solutions, and interns can be involved in both teams.

Beyond software engineering, you will also take part in client discussions, understanding user value through requirements gathering, contribute to system design, proposing creative solutions with our consultants, and most importantly work directly with our designers to uphold the high quality UX Red Airship is known for.

We are looking for individuals who are motivated by solving difficult technical problems, and who value working in a team built on open communication and direct, constructive feedback.

*XR = mixed reality on Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest
