Backend software engineering intern
Inner Peak is seeking a part or full-time back-end software engineering intern to help with development of our mental wellness platform for high school students.
Inner Peak is a mental wellness support platform for students and teachers, accessible via our mobile app or web app. The platform provides personalized daily resilience training and coping skill-building in a fun and engaging form (combining aspects of DuoLingo and TikTok with expert therapist-created content) to help give the students the skills necessary to succeed in life that often aren’t explicitly taught in a classroom setting. While helping students build these skills, the platform also guides students through the challenges of daily life by providing personalized, 24/7 mental wellness support. By helping support student mental health, Inner Peak improves student attendance, engagement, and outcomes, creating a better school climate that retains more students to graduation and sets them up for success after.
We are a small, driven team with the mission of making mental health support and coping skill-building accessible and affordable for all. Contact sean@innerpeak.ai with any questions.
