Software Engineer Internship

Elk Range Royalties is an active buyer of mineral and royalty interests in the US. We have partnered with NGP Energy, an investment firm with over 30 years of history investing in the oil and gas industry. This provides us with strong financial backing in the form of patient capital with a long-term horizon. Since our inception in 2020, Elk Range has invested over $1.4B in capital and is currently investing out of its third equity commitment from NGP under Elk Range Royalties III.

Elk Range's success is driven by our team's diverse range of talents and our ability to work and learn together to achieve even the most challenging of goals. All of Elk Range's team members seek to live up to our Five Core Values: Accountability, Transparency, Improvement, Trust, and Commitment through all our interactions, both working alongside team members within the company and with mineral and royalty owners we seek to do business with.

Summary

Elk Range employs a Development team to build out the company's proprietary software solution for internal usage. As a Software Engineer Intern, you will gain hands-on experience contributing to Elk Range's web application.
