Our Journey
ShopBack began in 2014 as a late-night spark of inspiration between Henry and Joel — not just to build a Cashback platform, but to reimagine how brands and consumers connect. As former advertisers, they understood the limitations of traditional marketing, and saw an opportunity to deliver more value on both sides. That idea quickly turned into action, and the first prototype was built over a weekend with the other co-founders. Today, ShopBack serves over 50 million users across 13 markets, partners with 20,000+ merchants, and powers over half a million transactions daily. We're building The World’s Most Rewarding Way to Shop — and looking for bold, driven individuals to join us.
We are seeking a talented and motivated Operations Automation Engineer Intern to join our team and support our process automation initiatives. As an intern, you will work closely with our development team to create, enhance, and maintain Python-based automation solutions. You will have the opportunity to gain practical experience in a professional environment while contributing to real-world projects.
This job posting is open for H2 2026 internship applications.
