Technical Product Manager Intern

Location: Bellevue, WA Department: USAFacts

The Organization

At USAFacts, we believe facts deserve to be heard. We turn data from thousands of jurisdictions into clear, unbiased answers about how government spends money and what it achieves. No political agenda. No commercial motive. Just public service.

Founded and funded by Steve Ballmer, former CEO of Microsoft, we work alongside Ballmer Group Philanthropy and Rainier Climate on civic impact.

As an intern, you’ll join a collaborative, mission-driven team and learn how complex public data becomes something the American people can actually use.

To top it off, Fast Company has recognized USAFacts four years running, including the 2026 Most Innovative Companies list. Learn more at usafacts.org and LinkedIn. Learn more about us at usafacts.org and linkedin.com/company/usafacts.

We’d love for you to bring your curiosity, and your conviction that facts matter, to your summer with us.
