We are specifically investing in agentic systems that automate complex workflows, from intelligent JIRA triage and root-cause analysis to test planning and quality automation. In this internship role, you will work directly with our hiring manager and team to design, build, and deploy agents that utilize pre-trained machine learning models to solve real problems for developers and quality engineers. This is an exceptional opportunity to be part of a team navigating the fundamental shift toward agentic development and to contribute meaningfully to tools that thousands of developers will rely on.\nWhat You Might Do\nAs an intern on our team, you'll contribute to real-world engineering projects that explore how AI can improve the way software is built, tested, and maintained. Depending on business priorities and your team's needs, you may have the opportunity to:\nDesign, build, and iterate on AI-powered tools and workflows that improve engineering productivity.\nDevelop intelligent systems that help automate software development, testing, debugging, or quality assurance processes.\nPrototype and evaluate new approaches for applying large language models (LLMs) and agentic AI to solve complex engineering challenges.\nCollaborate with software engineers, machine learning engineers, product managers, designers, and other cross-functional partners to deliver impactful solutions.\nParticipate in technical design discussions, code reviews, and collaborative problem-solving sessions.\nAnalyze technical challenges, propose innovative solutions, and contribute fresh ideas that improve products, tools, and engineering workflows.\nBuild, test, and iterate on production-quality software while learning modern engineering best practices.\nPresent your work, share technical learnings, and contribute to a collaborative engineering culture.\nEssential Qualifications\nCurrently pursuing or recently completed a bachelor's or graduate degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.\nSolid understanding of coding fundamentals and comfort with at least one programming language; you should be able to learn new languages and frameworks as needed.\nFamiliarity with agentic systems, AI tools (such as Claude Code or OpenAI), or model utilization in applications; deep machine learning expertise is not required as we focus on using pre-trained models, not building them.\nAbility to break down complex problems into manageable steps and solve them independently while knowing when to ask for help.\nWillingness to question established processes and propose alternative approaches; comfort in an environment that values fresh thinking and continuous improvement.\nStrong communication skills; ability to explain your reasoning clearly and articulate the logic behind your technical choices.\nFamiliarity with software development workflows, quality assurance, testing practices, or developer tooling (helpful but not required).\nPreferred Skills\nExperience building or working with automation tools or systems that improve workflow efficiency.\nExposure to or familiarity with JIRA, continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) systems, or testing frameworks.\nExperience working in cross-functional teams or in environments where you collaborated with people from different technical backgrounds.\nUnderstanding or coursework in machine learning, AI, or agent systems.\nExample projects demonstrating agentic thinking, such as personal projects using AI tools to automate tasks.\nHourly Pay Range: $40.00-$50.00 per hour. Actual compensation will be determined based on factors such as skills, qualifications, and experience.\n2027 Internship Program Dates: May/June-August/September 2027.
