One team. Global challenges. Infinite opportunities. At Viasat, we're on a mission to deliver connections with the capacity to change the world. For more than 35 years, Viasat has helped shape how consumers, businesses, governments and militaries around the globe communicate. We're looking for people who think big, act fearlessly, and create an inclusive environment that drives positive impact to join our team.

Our Viasat Beam team is the design system team here at Viasat, in charge of maintaining and developing a collection of React and Vanilla JS component libraries and tools crafted to set the visual and behavioral standard for front-end components at Viasat. Other front-end application teams at Viasat consume our tools for them to build front-end applications and experiences with a unified design and brand language at a rapid and reusable pace.

As a Software Engineer Intern on our team, you'll have an opportunity to see the full development cycle of what a frontend library looks like in production and gain hands-on experience! You will be embedded directly within the development team and will work with designers to turn design specifications into reusable, production-ready React/Next.js & Vanilla JS components within the library. You will also be responsible for maintaining, documenting, and supporting components within the Beam team.
