Software Engineering Intern, Growth

We're putting together a talented team to build the training platform for Runners

We help everyday runners become outstanding by building an incredible app providing world-class training, coaching and community for everyone, whether you're improving your 5k time or training for your first marathon.

We're growing extremely fast! In November 2023 we closed a $6.5M funding round led by JamJar with participation from Eka Ventures, Venrex and Creator Ventures. In 2024, we were selected by Apple as one of three global finalists for the iPhone app of the year, reflecting the innovation and impact of what we've built & in 2025 we were acquired by Strava!

Our ambition is huge: to become the go to global leading training platform for millions of runners everywhere. We're growing with purpose and looking for people who want to build something meaningful with lasting impact. With the recent acquisition by Strava accelerating our journey, now is a really magical time to join.

We're looking for a curious, ambitious Full Stack Engineering Intern to join the Growth Engineering team. This team owns key parts of the user journey into Runna, working across web and app to create high quality experiences that turn first time visitors into long term, engaged subscribers. You'll collaborate with experienced engineers, product and design partners to help shape how new users first discover and experience Runna.

This internship is ideal for a recent or upcoming university graduate (Computer Science or similar technical degree) who loves shipping features, ideating on product improvements, and learning how modern product engineering teams operate.

• Contribute to designing, building, testing and shipping user journeys and subscription funnels that help turn visitors into active, engaged subscribers.

• Help run experiments across web and app (such as onboarding flows, paywalls, and plan discovery experiences) to improve conversion at each step of the journey.

• Work closely with engineers, Product and Design to prioritise opportunities, define success metrics and learn from experiment results.

• Help implement and maintain instrumentation and tracking so we can understand behaviour, spot issues quickly and measure impact.

• Ship features end to end with support from the team: from scoping and implementation through rollout, monitoring and iteration.

• Contribute to our developer experience by supporting improvements to CI/CD, testing and release workflows, so we can ship and learn quickly.

• Take part in code reviews, pairing sessions and design discussions to learn best practices and improve your craft.

What you'll bring to the team

Currently completing or recently completed a Computer Science or similar technical degree, or equivalent practical experience.

• Some experience with TypeScript/JavaScript (university projects, side projects, internships or similar).

• Interest in building user facing product surfaces where UX and conversion matter (onboarding, landing pages, paywalls, growth experiments, etc.).

• A genuine desire to ship things, learn quickly and iterate based on feedback and data.

• Comfortable working in a fast paced, iterative environment with lots of experimentation and learning from data.

• You enjoy working with others and are open to feedback, pairing and knowledge sharing.

• Enthusiasm for our ways of working:

  • Iterative development, continuous deployment and test automation.

  • Knowledge sharing and collaborative design.

  • Shared ownership of code and outcomes across cross functional teams.

• Experience building small full stack projects (for example with React/Next.js, Node.js, or similar).

• Exposure to mobile development (Swift, Kotlin or React Native) or modern web frameworks.

• Experience with analytics and experimentation tooling from a project, internship or course.

If you're excited about growth, love ideating on how to improve user journeys, and want to learn how to ship meaningful features in a real product, we'd love to hear from you.

We'll be growing our package of benefits over time. We currently offer:

• £42.5k salary (prorated over your internship)

• Flexible working (we typically work 3 days from our office in Vauxhall)

• 10 days flexible holiday, with the choice to use your bank holiday allowance on days that better suit you

• Bi-weekly team run and lunch

• Socials throughout the internship (Tech and company wide)
