Operations & Supply Chain Software Intern… at Formlabs · Somerville

Summary: Formlabs is a company that builds innovative tools for 3D printing, enabling anyone to bring their ideas to life. They are seeking an Operations & Supply Chain Software Intern to work directly with the Supply Chain team, designing and maintaining internal software tools that provide visibility into supply chain health and operational risk. Responsibilities: - Own the full lifecycle of internal operational tools — from initial design and local development through testing, deployment, and ongoing iteration in a production environment - Build and deploy data pipelines that ingest, clean, and normalize raw inputs from external vendor reports into structured, queryable formats that the business can rely on - Develop and maintain web-based dashboards and applications that give non-technical operations teammates real-time visibility into supply chain health, production readiness, and operational risk - Deploy and manage cloud infrastructure supporting these tools, including cloud functions, scheduled jobs, and data warehouse integrations — working with IT and Data Engineering stakeholders where appropriate - Design for maintainability and handoff: write clean, documented, version-controlled code that a future engineer can pick up, extend, and debug without starting from scratch - Demo your work early and often — at weekly check-ins with your manager and periodic reviews with the broader ops team. Feedback is a feature, not an interruption - Identify opportunities to automate high-friction manual workflows across procurement, production planning, and supplier management Required Qualifications: - Are pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field - Have built something real — a personal project, a class project, a deployed tool — and can walk us through how you built it, what broke, and how you fixed it - Write clean Python or JavaScript (or both) and are comfortable working across the stack: data pipelines, backend logic, and lightweight front-end interfaces - Have deployed software to a real environment — you understand the difference between something that works on your laptop and something that runs reliably in production - Are comfortable with cloud platforms and infrastructure basics: spinning up services, managing environment configs, debugging deployment failures, and understanding how data moves between systems - Use version control (Git) as a matter of habit — branching, committing, reviewing, and documenting your work - Communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders and can translate ambiguous operational problems into scoped technical requirements - Operate with autonomy — you don't need someone looking over your shoulder to ship, but you know when to ask for help - Are energized by seeing your work actually used by real people Preferred Qualifications: - Experience with Google Cloud Platform (BigQuery, Cloud Functions, Cloud Storage, Cloud Scheduler) or equivalent cloud services - Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker), or infrastructure-as-code tooling - Prior internship or project experience in a DevOps, data engineering, or internal tools role - Experience with BI and data visualization tools (Looker Studio, Tableau, Metabase, or similar) - React or other modern front-end framework experience for building browser-based internal apps - Exposure to ETL/ELT workflows, data pipeline orchestration, or workflow automation platforms - Familiarity with supply chain, manufacturing, or operations domains — even academic or personal interest counts Required Skills: Python, JavaScript, Data Pipelines, Backend Development, Frontend Development, Cloud Platforms, Git, Google Cloud Platform, BigQuery, Cloud Functions, Cloud Storage, Cloud Scheduler, CI/CD Pipelines, Docker, Infrastructure as Code, Business Intelligence, Data Visualization, React, ETL/ELT Workflows, Data Pipeline Orchestration, Workflow Automation, Supply Chain Domain, Manufacturing Domain, Operations Domain Internship Start Date: Start in 2026 Summer Benefits: Flexible Out of Office Plan — take time when you need it, Salaried bi-weekly pay schedule, Ample on-site parking & pre-tax commuter benefits, Catered on-site lunches (3x per week), snacks, beverages & treats, Cohort-based social and professional development experience for interns, Many opt-in culture events across our diverse community, And of course… unlimited 3D prints
