Poshmark posts internships on a rolling, seasonal basis out of Redwood City, California, rather than running one fixed annual class. Recent summer cycles have included roles in site merchandising, AI and machine learning engineering, data engineering and brand marketing, and the company also runs a completely separate student ambassador program that gets confused with its internships more often than it should.
If you've searched "Poshmark internship" and mostly found results about a campus ambassador role, you're not alone. Here's the actual split between the two, plus what a real internship at Poshmark looks like.
What Poshmark actually does
Poshmark is a social marketplace for buying and selling new and secondhand clothing, shoes, accessories and home goods. The product is built around following sellers and browsing a feed of listings, closer to social media than a plain search-and-filter storefront, which is a big part of why the company calls itself a social commerce platform rather than just a resale app.
Poshmark is owned by Naver, the South Korean internet company, which completed a $1.2 billion acquisition in January 2023. Poshmark kept its own brand, community and Redwood City headquarters after the deal, so day-to-day the company still operates like a standalone consumer tech business, just with a large parent company behind it.
Recent internship postings by team
| Team | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Site merchandising | Curating and organizing product across the app's shopping experience. |
| AI/ML engineering | Machine learning work across product, marketing, Posh markets, operations and community features. |
| Data engineering | Building the data pipelines that support analytics, data science and engineering teams. |
| Brand marketing | Social media, content creation and marketing projects tied to Poshmark's brand. |
Standard requirements across these postings include demonstrated interest in Poshmark's mission or the fashion resale industry, being a current or rising senior or a recent graduate, and strong communication and collaboration skills. Some technical postings, like certain data engineering roles, have been restricted to a specific graduation year.
Posh On Campus is not the internship
Posh On Campus is a marketing ambassador program, not a corporate internship. Student ambassadors promote the app on their campus, run events like styling sessions or booths at campus fairs, create social content and share feedback on trends, in exchange for Posh Credits and merchandise rather than a wage. It's open to fashion-forward college students broadly, with no technical or business degree requirement, which makes it a completely different application and experience from the paid engineering, data and merchandising internships above.
If you're aiming for real work experience on your resume in tech, data or business, apply to the paid internship postings, not the ambassador program.
Why a resale marketplace hires engineers and data scientists
It's easy to assume a fashion resale app is mostly a marketing and merchandising business, but Poshmark runs on the same technical problems as any large marketplace: search and discovery ranking, fraud detection on peer-to-peer transactions, recommendation systems that surface the right listings to the right buyer, and the live-selling infrastructure behind Posh Live. That's why the AI/ML and data engineering internships exist alongside the more visible merchandising and brand roles, and why a computer science or data science background is a legitimate path in here, not just a fashion or marketing degree.
Being owned by Naver adds another layer worth knowing about in an interview: Naver runs its own large-scale search, commerce and AI products in South Korea, and some Poshmark engineering initiatives draw on that parent company's technology, which is a detail that shows you've done real research beyond the job posting.
Timing and how to apply
Poshmark doesn't publish a fixed recruiting calendar the way larger tech companies do, and its careers page has recently directed applicants to email a resume to [email protected] while the company updates its application portal. As of this guide's last update, ApplyBolt's live board shows open full-time roles at Poshmark but no internship posting, since these tend to go up closer to each summer's start date.

What does Poshmark actually do?
Poshmark is a social marketplace where people buy and sell new and secondhand clothing, shoes, accessories and home goods, built around following other users and browsing like a feed rather than a plain search-and-filter store. It's owned by Naver, the South Korean internet company, which completed a $1.2 billion acquisition in January 2023.
Is Posh On Campus the same as a Poshmark internship?
No. Posh On Campus is a marketing ambassador program where college students promote the app on their campus, run events and create social content in exchange for Posh Credits and merchandise. It's a brand ambassador role, not a corporate internship, and doesn't require the technical or business background Poshmark's paid internships look for.
What background do you need for a Poshmark internship?
It depends on the team. Engineering and data internships want a computer science, data science or related technical background, often restricted to students graduating in a specific year. Merchandising and brand internships are more flexible on major but expect a demonstrated interest in fashion, social media or Poshmark's community.
