A leading source of Open Source.

As a Technical Yahoo Intern, you’ll get to join one of our most exciting initiatives—rewiring Yahoo! to be even more open. We’ve been a leader in industry efforts to embrace open development, adopting open source software within a range of Yahoo! operations and services.

Previous Technical Intern projects include:

• A widget for the Yahoo! homepage that lets you update your location for geo-based content
• A parking web service which helps find empty parking spaces in a crowded place
• Designing core UI components of the Yahoo! Toolbar

“I’ve been working in the Yahoo! Toolbar Engineering group on the next big release. This is a pretty small team of about a dozen engineers and I’ve been entrusted with some of the core UI components. In other words, a lot of the UI the users will see when the toolbar first loads is being engineered by me!” Pushkar, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis

Top-tier experience. Dress-down attitude.

Think Wall Street. Be a Yahoo. Our new Finance grads work on a 2-year rotational program (like all the top firms on the Street) for new grads and you’ll get to experience some of that here as an intern. At the start of your internship, you’ll be given finance training and an introduction to how finance works here at Yahoo! from some of the best minds in the business. You’ll then be given real, measurable projects on which to unleash your skills. At the end of the summer, you will present the results of your work to your peers and our finance leaders.

You will also get to participate in weekly lunches hosted by senior finance leaders. And, of course, like all our interns, you’ll get a good dose of Yahoo!-style fun.

Past Finance interns have:

• Created a guide called FinPedia that is used by everyone in Finance
• Developed an executive dashboard that gives updated metrics like employee headcount and budgeting

“I have had a great experience and am really happy with all the exposure I’ve gotten in my short time here. I’ve created alignment on definitions between Finance and HR for the newest release of the FinPedia; a new executive Headcount Dashboard. I’ve also made presentations to Managers, Directors and Vice Presidents and worked closely with both HR and the Corp Ops Finance teams.” Joshua, Santa Clara University

Turn big ideas into huge products.

Engage your inner entrepreneur. As a Product Management Intern, you’ll join our stellar product management team. Interns might coordinate a product launch, analyze a future product idea, or work with partner publishers on their content.

You’ll get real responsibility, hands-on training and the chance to learn from some of the best minds in the business. (And, of course, a good dose of Yahoo!-style fun.) Not only will you get a true sense of what life is like as a full-time Yahoo! employee, you’ll gain valuable work experience and skills to put you ahead of the curve after graduation.

Past Product Management interns have:

• Launched a new version of delicious, Yahoo!’s social bookmarking site
• Created a Yahoo! Olympics Watchlist that pulled together news, photos, scores, and more to build a personalized Olympics page
• Helped launch Yahoo! Search International

“Today my team released a major new version of our site and here's part of what I've done: adapted the design of settings and help, written help material, edited new site copy, responded to and help prioritize user feedback during the beta stage, written blog posts about the launch, and moderated and respond to the many forum threads reacting to the launch, and kept communication flowing between our users and our team.” Britta, UC Santa Barbara

Put your big marketing ideas to work.

Put all that great marketing theory you’ve learned into practice on our over half a billion users. You’ll get to jump in and help with key projects for a specific Yahoo! property or business unit. Projects may include creating a marketing plan, performing competitive analysis and market research, developing creative campaigns, and offering strategy recommendations.

You’ll do serious work (except of course, when you’re having all that fun we’ve got set up for you) that’s important to our brand, products and bottom line, and your contributions will be seen by millions. Not only will you get a true sense of what life is like as a full-time Yahoo! employee, you’ll gain valuable work experience and skills that’ll put you ahead of the curve after graduation.

Past Marketing interns have:

• Developed a “playbook” with recommendations on improving Yahoo!’s global marketing
• Worked with our ad agency to develop an advertising campaign for Yahoo! Mail
• Defined positioning for Yahoo! Messenger and created a promotional launch plan

“I’ve been working to get the new Business & Human Rights Program off the ground: writing initial drafts of Human Rights Impact Assessments, developing an internal Twiki (an online shared workspace), and working on communications strategy for the program. Yahoo! is the first Internet technology company in the US to implement a human rights program, so I’m particularly proud to be part of such an innovative initiative.”Sarah, Tufts University

Design for millions. Recognition for you.

Imagine solving challenging interaction and visual design problems for one of the biggest online audiences in the world. As an intern in our User Experience & Design (UED) Group, you’ll get to create and improve the visual design of our products—and get visibility for your hard work.

What’s more you’ll have the opportunity to reach a huge audience with your designs. You’ll get to work with amazingly talented engineers, product managers, user researchers, and more as you bring products to life and get them out into the world. And, not only will you get a true sense of what life is like as a full-time Yahoo! employee, you’ll gain valuable work experience and skills that’ll put you ahead of the curve after graduation.

Previous interns have:

• Designed the “send, share, print” function that exists across the Yahoo! network
• Created YouTube and Nexflix applications for the Yahoo! homepage
• Worked with top user experience designers to ensure consistency across all Yahoo! products and properties

“It’s surprising how much I grew professionally in one summer because of the degree of trust and freedom I had to work on the Who’s Viewed Me feature—that’s now up and live— for Yahoo! Personals. Addy, Georgia Tech
