INTRODUCTION
Looking for a bright, hardworking, and independent individual to fill a one-year, committed, paid intern position immediately. The Strategic Technology Vendor Relations (STVR) team is responsible for engaging with Technology vendors to support the Church's contracting, services, and relationship needs. Interns are responsible for reviewing Low-Cost Software contracts, processing staff requests, and supporting other projects as deemed important for Intern support.
This position is primarily for educational or religious purposes and should be used to provide valuable educational experiences for the Intern. It is to give the Intern an opportunity to see how principles and practices learned in their educational institutions are applied in an actual work setting. Under general supervision, the Intern performs work as assigned by the department.
The hours worked must be during normal working hours, Monday through Friday. Hours worked will not exceed 20 hours per week. The intern will report directly to their hiring manager but may be involved in projects with multiple team members. This internship position represents a unique and exciting opportunity to work with highly skilled professionals and contribute to the Lord's work in a meaningful way. The intern would be part of an innovative, spiritually driven, and motivated team and culture. The internship will provide experience with Technology contracting and procurement.
LOCATION
The position is working with the STVR team with offices located at the Church Office Building in Salt Lake City, UT or the Riverton Office Building in Riverton, UT. The intern’s working location is anticipated to be at the Riverton Office Building.
Responsibilities
Responsibilities may vary by assignment depending on department and need. The intern receives assignments from STVR team members. Work is reviewed by the supervisor and, at times, by the team manager.
Interns are expected to do the following:
- Meet rigid and challenging deadlines
- Work in harmony with other people
- Follow explicit direction on each assignment
- Give full attention to details and be a quick learner
- Demonstrate independence in working on given assignments, yet proactive in seeking direction and assignments from team members
- Demonstrate a willingness to learn and master new processes and systems
- Exercise sound judgment of Church doctrine, organization, policy and protocol
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
Paid Interns are qualified while enrolled in an educational institution and for one year following graduation.
Church employees find joy and satisfaction in using their unique talents and abilities to further the Lord’s work. From the IT professional who develops an app that sends the gospel message worldwide, to the facilities manager who maintains our buildings—giving Church members places to worship, teach, learn, and receive sacred ordinances—our employees seek innovative ways to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the world. They are literally working in His kingdom.
Only members of the Church who are worthy of a temple recommend qualify for employment. Apart from this, the Church is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate in its employment decisions on any basis that would violate U.S. or local law.

Get Access To All JobsDeveloper Relations CPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Developer Relations role qualify as a specialty occupation for CPT purposes?
CPT eligibility isn't tied to specialty occupation standards; it's determined by your school's curriculum requirements, not USCIS definitions. Your DSO evaluates whether the Developer Relations role is integral to your degree program. Most DevRel positions at tech companies qualify under computer science, information systems, or communications programs, but your DSO has final authority on authorization.
Can I do CPT for a Developer Relations internship at a startup with no prior F-1 hiring history?
Yes, the employer doesn't need prior F-1 hiring history for CPT to be valid. The requirements that must be met are your DSO's authorization, E-Verify enrollment by the employer, and a clear curriculum connection. Startups without immigration experience may need guidance on E-Verify enrollment and I-9 compliance before your start date.
How do I find Developer Relations employers who understand CPT work authorization?
Migrate Mate lists Developer Relations roles at employers with documented work authorization experience, which shortens the education curve during offer negotiations. When reaching out to hiring managers, frame CPT as employer-side work authorization with no filing fees and no lottery exposure, which distinguishes it from H-1B visa sponsorship.
Will CPT in Developer Relations affect my OPT or H-1B eligibility later?
Part-time CPT has no impact on OPT eligibility regardless of duration. Full-time CPT totaling 12 or more months eliminates OPT eligibility entirely, which also removes your STEM OPT extension path. If you're planning for H-1B sponsorship, losing OPT removes the cap-gap bridge that keeps you authorized through an H-1B lottery cycle.
What academic documentation does my DSO need to authorize CPT for a Developer Relations position?
Most DSOs require a written offer letter specifying your job title, employer name, work location, and dates; a course enrollment or academic justification showing the role connects to your program; and sometimes a faculty or advisor signature. Developer Relations roles should be mapped to coursework in software engineering, technical communication, or product management depending on your degree.
