About the program

At Tamara, we believe potential should be stretched early.

Our Flagship Builders Internship & Co-Op track is crafted for students who don’t want a passive internship but a real seat at the table. If you’re hungry to apply what you’ve learned, in a fast-moving, high-performance environment, this is where you begin.

Built for current students seeking internship or co-op opportunities, this track immerses you in meaningful, hands-on work across Product, Engineering, Design, and beyond giving you real ownership, not just exposure.

You’ll contribute to real projects and solve real problems, gaining the kind of exposure that most early-career experiences simply don’t offer. We treat interns and co-op students as future builders, because in many ways, they already are.

With our January and June cohorts, you’ll gain more than experience. You’ll gain momentum.
