What you’ll be part of:

Circle is committed to visibility and stability in everything we do. As we grow as an organization, we're expanding into some of the world's strongest jurisdictions. Speed and efficiency are motivators for our success and our employees live by our company values: High Integrity, Future Forward, Multistakeholder, Mindful, and Driven by Excellence. We have built a flexible work environment where new ideas are encouraged and everyone is a stakeholder.

What you’ll be responsible for

You’ll own a high-impact project at the intersection of product, data, and operations—scoped to your strengths and interests—and drive it from discovery through delivery. You’ll partner with cross-functional teams to ship a tangible outcome (prototype, analysis, and/or process improvement) and close with a final readout to leaders that captures results, recommendations, and clear next steps.

About the Program

The Circle Internship Program is a 12-week, remote-first experience running from May 26 to August 14, 2026, designed to give interns hands-on experience building the future of global finance. Interns work on meaningful, real-world projects that support Circle’s mission to enable the frictionless exchange of value.

The program includes three in-person experiences designed to deepen learning and connection:

• Circle Forward Week in Miami

• Development Week at Circle’s New York City HQ in One World Trade Center

• Final Showcase Week in the San Francisco Bay Area

Throughout the summer, interns are supported by managers, mentors, and a close-knit cohort, with opportunities for learning, growth, and exposure to leaders across the company.

What you’ll work on

• Conduct lightweight user and stakeholder research to understand pain points, workflows, and constraints

• Analyze quantitative and qualitative inputs to identify insights and propose product or operational improvements

• Collaborate with product, data, engineering, and operations partners to design a solution and execute against milestones

• Build and iterate on deliverables such as a prototype, analytical model, or process redesign with documentation

• Communicate progress through clear written updates, tradeoff discussions, and decision-ready recommendations

• Present outcomes and next steps to leadership, including impact, risks, and a plan for continuation after the internship
