Why This Role Exists Xsolla is going all-in on becoming an AI-first company, and we are rolling this out across regions globally by offering AI Engineer Internships. The role focuses on building rather than observing, and you will contribute by shipping code that goes to customers – internal teams or external players and game developers – in collaboration with senior engineers and fellow interns across regions. What You'll Do Internal AI initiatives – help unlock AI tooling and integrations across Xsolla faster than our existing teams can alone. Proof-of-concept builds on our own APIs – demonstrate to product and engineering teams what is possible when AI is a core part of the workflow. This isn’t a shadow-and-observe internship. You'll ship code that goes to customers and work closely with senior engineers and fellow interns across our global regions. Who You'll Work With You'll work closely with senior engineers who are actively rebuilding how we write software, and you'll be part of a global cohort of interns building in parallel across our regions. You will have opportunities to learn production-grade practices and trade ideas, code, and AI workflows with peers during weekly demos. What We're Looking For You build things because you want to, and you already use AI to do it faster. Genuine passion for building. You have side projects, hackathon entries, open-source contributions, or something you shipped out of curiosity. Real AI fluency. You have used tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar agentic coding tools to build something and can explain how you used AI to achieve it. Bias toward action. Given an ambiguous problem, you start building before you ask for a spec. Comfort with developing modern full-stack solutions – we value learning speed over existing deep mastery. Open to current undergraduate students, graduate students, and recent graduates of a Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related program . If pursuing a graduate degree and willing to take an internship-level role to gain hands-on AI experience, we want to hear from you. How to Apply No take-home assignments, no formal problem sets. We evaluate proof of work, not the ability to complete an assigned exercise. Please include: A link to a GitHub profile, deployed project, or anything you've built – the more recent and self-directed, the better. A short answer (2-3 sentences, or a 2-minute video/Loom if you'd prefer) to: “What's something hard you built recently, and why did you build it?” We're not grading for correctness or polish. We're looking for evidence of real work and that you built it yourself with AI as a tool, not a ghostwriter.
