As an intern, you will work alongside experienced engineers on real production systems used by police, fire, EMS, and emergency communications agencies across the country.

Why Tyler Public Safety
Our teams build technology that first responders rely on every day. You'll gain experience not just writing code, but understanding how software operates in complex, real-world environments with high stakes and real impact. If you're reading this thinking, "I don't meet all of this," apply anyway. Job descriptions are imperfect, people aren't linear, and you might be exactly who we're looking for.

- Strong understanding of computer science fundamentals (e.g. data structures, algorithms, object-oriented design)
- Experience with at least one programming language through coursework, projects, or internships
- Familiarity with databases or data modeling concepts
- Strong problem-solving skills and curiosity to learn new technologies
- Ability to work effectively in a team and communicate technical ideas clearly
Preferred Qualifications (Not Required)
- Experience with web or backend development
