Engineering Intern

About the Role

This part-time, on-site engineering internship in San Francisco is focused on building real software that reaches actual users. You’ll work with a team developing AI-native products and get hands-on exposure to how a strong engineering organization ships and iterates on product.

What You’ll Do

• Create production-grade software that customers interact with directly.
• Collaborate with engineers working on AI-native products.
• Help develop backend services, APIs, product functionality, and internal tools.
• Take part in technical design conversations and code review sessions.
• Learn practical workflows used by high-performing engineering teams.
• Drive projects from the initial concept through deployment.

What We’re Looking For

Experience and proof of work matter more here than a polished résumé. The team wants to see what you have actually built.

Applicants should be ready to share a GitHub profile, side projects, weekend builds, or anything you have created and debugged through repeated failures. Curiosity, initiative, and a genuine desire to understand how things work are highly valued.

Traits That Fit Well Here

• You like building things for enjoyment.
• You ask thoughtful, useful questions.
• You enjoy tackling problems without straightforward answers.
• You prefer fast-moving environments.
• You are comfortable saying when you do not know something.
• You focus on learning rather than appearing impressive.

Bonus Experience

• Background in Python or contemporary backend engineering.
• Exposure to AI or LLM-related work.
• Contributions to open-source projects.
• Participation in hackathons.
• Research-based project experience.
• Startup experience.

Before You Apply

Instead of spending a long time refining your résumé, share something you have built. A short, concrete example of your work will make a stronger impression.
