Software Engineering Internship (Strategy) in Houston, Texas at Fervo Energy Company

Internship Overview

You won't be running coffee orders or shuffling paperwork this summer. At Fervo, interns are handed something real: a project of your own, scoped with your manager on day one and yours to drive for the full 12 weeks. You'll work side-by-side with the teams building the next generation of geothermal energy, tackling problems that genuinely move the business forward. At the end of the summer, you'll present your work to our executive leadership team, department leads, and fellow interns, sharing real results with a real audience. This is a real seat at the table — and a real shot at what comes next.

You'll work alongside our AI and Strategy teams to design, build, and ship software that supports real business needs, gaining hands-on experience with production code rather than toy projects.
