Overview

As you begin to think about what’s next after college, finding a nurturing home where you can apply your knowledge is an increasing priority. 

 

Rather than become a cog in a large corporate machine, Steely is that small company down the street that you’ve always wanted to work for. We challenge ourselves to solve big issues, going head on with problems in the sky and on the ground. 

 

At the end of each day, you’ll go home knowing that you’ve made a difference in our company and helped our customers meet their goals. The sky’s the limit when you join Steely. 

 

We’re looking for smart, passionate technical interns to work at our Reston, VA office during the summer 2026. While most internships will focus on simple office tasks, we’re focused on a well-rounded, project-based internship. 

 

During our 10-week internship programyou’ll spend time sharpening your hard, technical skills, as well as perfecting your soft, Agile skills. A balance between the technical and the agile is essential to the “Steely spirit” and we’re excited to be part of your career journey.
