Codility is partnering with innovative companies like Amazon and PayPal to help them build and grow diverse, high-performing engineering teams through our CodeCheck platform to screen candidate skills; CodeLive to host technical interviews; and CodeEvent for campus recruitment and hackathons.
Why Codility needs you
We’re expanding our product suite to be an end-to-end engineering talent platform and have an amazing opportunity to further establish ourselves as leaders in the space, and we need strong advocates like you to help us get there.

Today, Codility powers 1,500+ businesses in 60+ countries, and has evaluated over 10 million engineers and counting.
As an I-O Psychology Intern, you will support Codility’s I-O psychology team with research, data gathering/entry/management tasks, basic (e.g., frequencies, descriptive statistics) and moderately advanced data analysis (e.g., regression, correlation, factor analysis), report and content writing, conducting interviews and focus groups, and other ad hoc I-O psychology-related tasks.
Please note, this opportunity will be a part-time summer internship. Start and end dates are flexible depending on your academic calendar.
Who you are
We are looking for an individual who is interested in applying the science and practice of I/O psychology and has a strong desire to learn. Candidates must be at least a 2nd-year student enrolled in a Master’s or Doctorate program in I/O psychology (or a related field) and have excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Product Insights Team Mission
Codility’s Product Insights team supports our product development, customer success, marketing, and sales teams by conducting quantitative and qualitative research and discovery to provide actionable, evidence-based insights. We apply principles and techniques from I-O psychology, data science, and psychometrics to help ensure Codility’s assessments are engaging, fair, and psychometrically sound, increasing Codility's ability to deliver on its core value proposition -- selecting the right technical talent for the right job at the right time. We also provide expert consultation to current and potential customers around assessment strategy and implementation based on our expertise and product research.
Our Guiding Principles:
- We listen actively using a range of tools and techniques across a range of channels.
- We synthesize information through critical thinking and analysis.
- We provide actionable, data-driven insights to enable alignment and prioritization.
- We close the feedback loop to ensure our partners and customers know they’ve been heard.
Please keep this in mind: Research shows that candidates from underrepresented backgrounds often don't apply for roles if they don't meet all the criteria; however, candidates from traditionally represented backgrounds actually tend to meet fewer of these requirements. Our mission is to unlock the world’s engineering potential and that starts with unlocking our people’s potential. We strongly encourage you to apply if you’re interested!
