Software Engineer – Gap Year

Netic’s Gap Year Software Engineers join our product team for a year to build the features that put AI in the hands of real businesses. This role is for college students who want to take a year off school to work full-time as an engineer, combining technical excellence with customer empathy to craft products that make complex AI feel simple and deliver immediate value to essential service industries.

Gap Year engineers are full-time employees, not interns. You’ll earn a full salary and equity, have a dedicated mentor, and we’ll cover room and board in an apartment next to our office in San Francisco or New York. The program is modeled on our first Gap Year engineer, who took a year off from Harvard to own products used by real customers, work on-site with them, and meet our board and investors before returning to finish his degree.

If you want to start a company someday, this is the year to learn how. You’ll see up close how a fast-growing startup wins customers, ships product, makes hard decisions, and builds a team. You’ll also leave with relationships with the investors, founders, operators, and teammates who can advise you, back you, or co-found with you when it’s your turn.
