You ship code that goes to production and is used by millions of members all over the world. AI agents are part of how we build every day, so you will orchestrate and build with them from day one.\nWhat You'll Own\nShip real features. You own a scoped project, from design to production, with a mentor who supports you.\nBuild with AI as a teammate. You use coding agents to move fast, and you learn to review, test, and verify what they produce.\nMake AI tools for others. You build a skill, a tool, or an agent workflow that your team keeps using after your internship ends.\nMeasure, don't guess. You write evals and tests so you can prove that your AI-powered work is good.\nEssentials to Succeed\nYou have good fundamentals. You can write clean code, you are familiar with design patterns, and you understand data structures, APIs, and testing.\nYou have built things outside of class. Side projects, hackathons, open source, and freelance work all count.\nYou have applied AI, not only chatted with it. What have you built? Tell us about an app on an LLM API, a custom agent or MCP server, a boring task you automated end to end, or a simple eval you used to compare prompts or models.\nYou stay curious and sceptical. You ask why the AI gave an answer, and you check it before you trust it.\nYou learn fast. You are excited to learn new things. You are comfortable when you do not know something yet, and you ask good questions.\nShow Us What You Built with AI\nTell us about:\nThe coolest one: the thing you are most proud of, or the thing that made people say \"wait, how?\"\nOr the hardest one: the thing that broke many times before it worked.\nFor each one, tell us:\nThe problem: what you wanted to solve, and why it mattered to you.\nWhat you built: what you built, compared to what the AI did.\nWhat broke: where the AI failed, and how you found and fixed the problem.\nThe result: a link to a repo, a demo, a video, or a write-up. A result that works with rough edges is better than slides that look polished.\nStart where the problem is real. A personal agent that saves your time 10 minutes every day is better than a big idea that nobody built. Build it, ship it, and let people use it.\nBonus Points\nAgents: you built an agent that uses tools, keeps memory, or runs many steps without a human.\nEvals: you wrote evals or tests to measure whether your AI output improved.\nReal users: you shipped something that people other than you actually use.\n Cloud: you deployed your project to a cloud platform.\nWe are looking for builders who are curious about AI and make a real impact with it.\nTechnologies You'll Touch\nTypeScript / Node.js\nPostgres\nKafka\nKubernetes\nGitLab\nDatadog\nClaude Code\nMCP","description_format":"text","description_chars":2748,"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":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Commerce","Sales & Marketing","Loyalty Programs","Price Comparison"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-02T16:09:11Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":53,"reasons":["conf:13","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-03T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/shopback-software-engineer-intern","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/shopback-software-engineer-intern.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-04T01:50:20Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2475,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":2525,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-05T00:00:00Z"}}}
