Technical Writer Intern at Hackerrank

HackerRank helps thousands of companies like OpenAI, NVIDIA, Amazon hire developers based on their skills vs pedigree, and also nurtures a community of millions of developers to upskill themselves to become the next-gen developers.

The people at HackerRank care deeply about their work and have an extremely intense work ethic. In many companies, speed & quality is a tradeoff. At HackerRank, it’s not -- we expect you to ship in about half the time that most competent people think it’s possible while maintaining a standard of quality you’d proudly sign your name on. The only way to make this happen is if you truly love your craft and are deeply committed to growth.

This is a 6-month, full-time, in-office internship based in our Bengaluru office (Jan-June 2026). Apply only if you’re available for the entire duration.
