As a Software Engineering Intern, you’ll work closely with our founding team to help design, prototype, and scale components of our agentic AI assistant.
This is a hands-on opportunity to do work at the intersection of systems design thinking with AI engineering fundamentals, contributing directly to the architecture and functionality of real, production-bound technology.
You’ll have mentorship from experienced engineers and founders building next-generation AI systems and gain valuable exposure to startup operations, while maintaining meaningful ownership over your projects and deliverables.
What you'd do
- Direct mentorship from experienced AI and systems engineers.
- Opportunity to work on cutting-edge agentic AI technology in a startup environment.
- End-to-end ownership of meaningful projects that may evolve into core product features.
- Exposure to startup operations, product iteration, and the engineering culture of an early-stage team.
What they want
- Currently pursuing a BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, AI, or related field (or equivalent experience).
- Strong foundation in software engineering and systems design thinking — you enjoy reasoning about architecture, scalability, and tradeoffs.
- Experience with Python, JavaScript, or Go; familiarity with AI frameworks (e.g. LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar) is a plus.
- Interest or prior experience in agent development, LLM APIs, or applied AI engineering.
- Excited by early-stage environments and fast-paced, iterative work.
- Available full-time for one academic quarter or semester in Winter/Spring/Summer 2026.
