Intern - Software Engineer Backend

Role Description

Design and build backend services, APIs, and orchestration layers powering agentic AI features in Python.

• Develop, integrate, and harden LLM-based agents, tools, and multi-step workflows.
• Own a scoped, business-critical project from design through delivery, with weekly mentor and program-lead check-ins.
• Participate actively in code reviews, design discussions, and sprint cycles alongside the engineering team.
• Write tests and contribute to documentation for the services and components they own.
• Collaborate with frontend, data, and product partners to ship work end-to-end.

Qualifications

• Currently enrolled in an accredited college or university in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related technical field at the rising-senior through in-progress master's level. Recent graduates within the last 6–12 months may also qualify.
• Demonstrated proficiency in Python with the ability to write, debug, and reason about non-trivial code independently required.
• Solid grounding in API design, data structures, and core backend architecture concepts required.
• Working familiarity with Git and command-line development environments required.
• Working knowledge of, or hands-on exposure to, LLM-based agents, tools, or AI-driven application workflows required.
• Experience with Rust through coursework, production work, or substantive personal projects preferred.
• A public portfolio (GitHub, personal site, or deployed projects) demonstrating backend or AI-related work preferred.
• Prior internship, open-source contribution, or substantive personal project work in backend engineering or AI/LLM tooling.
• Coursework or project experience involving agentic systems, distributed systems, or LLM application development preferred.
• 1–2 years of relevant work, club, or volunteer experience in software engineering preferred.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, particularly in technical contexts.
• Ability to operate independently between weekly check-ins, surfacing blockers proactively rather than waiting to be asked.
• Comfort working in production codebases with established conventions, code review processes, and engineering standards.
• Genuine intellectual curiosity around AI, agentic systems, and emerging engineering patterns.
• Attention to detail in code quality, testing, and incorporation of review feedback.
• Ability to balance multiple workstreams and meet committed deadlines.
• Demonstrated self-learner with interest in continued professional development and personal growth.
