Software Engineering Intern
Role Description
We’re looking to hire a **Software Engineering Intern** who is highly technical, curious, and already comfortable building software in an AI-native development environment.
The person will work directly on our production software stack, including our ERP/MES platform, infrastructure, internal tools, and emerging AI/agent systems. They may build product features, integrations, AI-driven workflows, developer tooling, agent harnesses, reusable skills, evaluation systems, and tools that help LLMs effectively interact with our codebase, data, and manufacturing systems.
We care significantly more about **what someone has actually built and how they think** than their exact degree, GPA, or number of years of experience.

* Strong practical understanding of **LLMs and how to build effectively with them**
* Experience building real software projects outside of basic coursework
* Comfortable with Git, APIs, databases, and modern software development practices
* Currently enrolled in or recently completed a software engineering, computer science, or related technical program
* Eligible to work in the United States
Particularly Strong Signals* Strong programming ability, ideally in **Python and/or TypeScript/JavaScript**
* Has built their own **agents, skills, tools, or AI development harnesses**
* Understands context management and how to give models the right information at the right time
* Has experimented with multi-agent or agentic coding workflows
* Has built evaluations or testing systems for LLM-powered applications
* Experience with RAG, knowledge graphs, embeddings, or semantic retrieval
* Experience with cloud infrastructure, containers, data engineering, computer vision, robotics, or manufacturing systems
* Strong GitHub, personal project, hackathon, or open-source portfolio
