About The Position

At EquipmentShare, we’re not just filling a role — we’re assembling the best team on the planet to build something that’s never been built before. We’re on a mission to transform an industry that’s been stuck in the past by empowering contractors and communities through innovative technology, real-time support, and a team that truly cares.
We’re hiring an Intern: Financial Systems Engineer for our Corporate HQ in Columbia, MO and we’re looking for someone who’s ready to grow with us, bring energy and drive to their work, and help us build the future of construction. We are seeking a Financial Systems Engineer - Intern to serve our Enterprise Systems teams. Our main tech ecosystem includes AWS, Python, Snowflake, TypeScript, and React.
You’ll be part of the Financial Systems Engineering team. You’ll serve this close-knit team in the development of custom solutions.

Our team advises on, implements, maintains, and integrates core and secondary business systems for day-to-day operations. We work heavily across departments with corporate leadership and product owners, evaluating departments' functional needs and pain points. From there, we advise on options, whether via expanding current systems, developing new processes, or utilizing and integrating third-party platforms.
We'll be there to support you as you become familiar with our teams, product domains, tech stack, and processes — generally, how we all work together.
Because we do things differently — and we think you’ll feel it from day one. We’re a people-first company powered by cutting-edge technology. That means our proprietary T3 platform doesn’t just run our business — it also makes your job easier, safer, and more connected. Whether you’re behind the wheel, under the hood, leading a branch, or closing deals — tech supports you, and you drive us forward.
We’re a team of problem-solvers, go-getters, and builders. And we’re looking for teammates who take pride in doing meaningful work and want to be part of building something special.
You want to be part of a team that’s not just changing an industry for the sake of change — we’re transforming it to make it safer, more secure, and more productive. You bring grit, heart, and humility to your work, and you’re excited about the opportunity to grow within a fast-paced, mission-driven environment.
