With $43M in funding from Founders Fund, Greylock, Hanabi, and Dylan Field who led our Series B, we helped our customers book hundreds of thousands of jobs across services industries in North America. There are now companies operating entirely AI-first on Netic.\nYou’ll join our team with relentless builders from Scale, Databricks, HRT, Meta, MIT, Stanford, and Harvard in bringing frontier AI to the physical economy, where the problems are hard, the data is complex, and the impact is immediate and tangible.\nNetic's Software Engineers working on the Agent Platform team build the features that let our AI agents build, test, and improve themselves. This isn't a role writing one-off prompts. You'll work on the orchestration layer, execution harnesses, and the \"Agent Manager\" system that allows agents to author, evaluate, and optimize other agents autonomously. This is one of the hardest and most leveraged problems in applied AI today, and you'll have a dedicated mentor guiding you end-to-end.\nWe need to hire multiple engineers for 12-week internships on our Agent Platform team that are available to start between winter of 2026 and summer of 2027. If you can start earlier - even better.\nWhat You'll Do:\nBuild the orchestration layer: Design and ship the systems that route, sequence, and supervise multi-agent workflows across customer environments in real time.\n\nExtend agent harnesses: Build the tooling, sandboxes, and eval loops agents use to test and validate their own outputs before changes reach production.\n\nWork on Agent Manager: Contribute to the internal system where agents propose, test, and roll out improvements to other agents. This including guardrails, rollback paths, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints.\n\nShip agentic products: Design, code, and ship full-stack features for Netic's agent platform, from data models to APIs to front-end tooling.\n\nCo-create with customers: Work with real customer workflows to surface where automated agent-improvement can and can't be trusted, and turn those edge cases into platform safeguards.\n\nWhat You'll Learn / Bring:\nSystems fundamentals: Comfort with Python (asyncio, FastAPI) and TypeScript (Node, React); CS fundamentals in distributed systems.\n\nAgent tooling exposure: Coursework, internship, or personal-project experience with LLM APIs, eval frameworks, RAG, or agent frameworks (LangChain, MCP, or similar) - production experience not required, curiosity is.\n\nOrchestration mindset: Interest in how multi-step, multi-agent systems coordinate state, tool calls, and failure recovery - you don't need to have built this before, but you should be excited to.\n\nFounder-level ownership: Track record of shipping full projects (school, internship, or personal) end-to-end, not just isolated assignments.\n\nComfortable with ambiguity: You'll be working on bleeding edge areas within agentic AI, but that means you'll be tackling problems that don't have established best practices yet. There isn't much of a playbook for agents building agents. You should be excited to help define them and write it.\n\nWhat brings us together is our commitment to:\nLive to build\n\nRun through walls and win\n\nObsess over customers in each line of code\n\nLose sleep over the \"almost perfect\"\n\nShow internal locus of control\n\nPrioritize finesse: refinement of first principles thinking, execution, and craftsmanship\n\nWe are an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, disability or any other legally protected status.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3675,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Conversational AI","Marketing & Sales AI","Field Service Management Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-07-16T02:49:06Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":4,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.13,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":93,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/netic-software-engineer-agent-platform-intern-2026-2027","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/netic-software-engineer-agent-platform-intern-2026-2027.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T16:21:44Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":22483,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":38090},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=38090"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnetic-software-engineer-agent-platform-intern-2026-2027"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fnetic-software-engineer-agent-platform-intern-2026-2027"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fnetic-software-engineer-agent-platform-intern-2026-2027"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/netic-software-engineer-agent-platform-intern-2026-2027\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnetic-software-engineer-agent-platform-intern-2026-2027"}]}
