Software Engineer Intern

About Oceanus

Oceanus Marine Technologies is building the operating platform for the modern maritime world.

Global trade runs on ships, and we're redefining what's possible at sea by leveraging modern technology.

We're a small, hands-on team based in El Segundo building full-stack systems that perform in real operating conditions across vessels, ports, and fleets. We focus on practical, deployable technology that brings safety oversight, automation, and coordination to complex maritime environments.

Our founding team previously built and operated SpaceX's Autonomous Spaceport Droneships, which are among the most advanced autonomous maritime systems ever deployed. Today, we work with leading U.S. operators to bring that same rigor and systems thinking to the next generation of maritime infrastructure.

About the Role

We're hiring a Software Engineering Intern for the Fall 2026 term! This is a minimum 12 week commitment, and a preferred commitment of 4 to 8 months.

As a Software Engineering Intern, you'll build systems that power intelligent, connected maritime operations. This includes backend services, real-time data pipelines, and operator-facing web applications that ingest and surface live vessel data. The software you build will be deployed in real-world environments where reliability, performance, and usability directly matter to operations.

Our size allows interns to take significant ownership. We give interns autonomy on interdisciplinary projects that move quickly from idea to implementation. Our philosophy is to build and test in days or weeks, not months.

Because of this, a portfolio or GitHub of things you've built is required to apply. Show us systems, applications, or tools you've built that reflect strong engineering fundamentals, execution, and curiosity.

Key Responsibilities

• Contribute to the design and development of backend services and APIs for real-time maritime data
