About the Division and Section/Team

The Application Design and Development (ADD) section in the division of Research and Statistics (R&S) is an enthusiastic team of UX designers and software engineers that design, develop and support solutions that enable the economic research, analysis, and policy work of the Federal Reserve Board.

About the Role

ADD is looking for an intern to work with our team of SharePoint Developers, UX Designers, and Product Managers to help develop simple and complex applications that support collaborative document management and communications practices.

As an intern, you'll develop SharePoint Online solutions using both out-of-the-box tools and custom coding in front-end and back-end programming languages and frameworks including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, React JS, SPFx, Handlebars, PowerShell, Bootstrap, and Fluent UI. You'll have the opportunity to leverage modern AI-assisted development tools like Claude Code to accelerate development and generate reusable SharePoint components and solutions.

A key focus will be designing and building SharePoint Online collaboration sites that replicate and improve upon content and functionality currently hosted on Drupal, in line with defined design and technical specifications. Throughout all projects, you'll write high-quality code that satisfies customer needs and strives for simplicity, clarity, and testability.

The intern will work on a cross-functional team and have an opportunity to learn the agile methodology as well as best practices for developing on low-code/no-code platforms like SharePoint Online. You'll also interact with stakeholders to gather business needs and translate those needs into application requirements.
