Mobile Engineering Intern
Build mobile software people actually use.
AbleCredit builds software for complex enterprise workflows where AI, APIs, business rules, human decisions, and real-world operations have to work together reliably. We care about building products that work in production - not just in demos. As a mobile engineering intern, you won't spend four months on a disposable internship project. You'll work with our engineers on real application features and learn how production mobile software behaves outside perfect Wi-Fi and simulator environments.
What You'll Build?
• Build and improve features in our production mobile applications.
• Work with camera, audio, permissions, storage, networking, and other device capabilities.
• Handle real-world mobile conditions such as slow networks, interrupted uploads, background execution, and app lifecycle changes.
• Integrate mobile experiences with backend APIs and services.
• Debug crashes and functional issues using logs, device tools, and observability.
• Write tests and participate in code reviews, releases, and technical discussions.
What We're Looking For?
• Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Computer Science or a related discipline.
• Strong programming fundamentals and curiosity about how mobile systems work.
• Experience building at least one meaningful Android, iOS, Flutter, or React Native application.
• Comfort with Git, APIs, JSON, and basic debugging.
• Ability to learn independently, ask good questions, and take feedback.
Bonus Points
• Kotlin, Swift, Flutter/Dart, React Native, or TypeScript experience.
• Published app, substantial side project, hackathon product, or open-source contribution.
• Experience with camera/audio APIs, local storage, background jobs, or offline-first applications.
What You'll Gain?
You'll learn how mobile features move from product idea to production: architecture, implementation, testing, code review, release, telemetry, and debugging. High-performing interns may be considered for a full time engineering role.
