Remote AI Orchestration Engineer Intern | Remote or Hybrid

What we do

US Signal is a leading data center services provider, offering secure, reliable network, cloud hosting, colocation, data protection, and disaster recovery services — all powered by its expansive, robust fiber network. We also help customers optimize their IT resources through managed services and professional services that scale with their business.

The opportunity

US Signal is seeking a curious, motivated AI Orchestration Engineer Intern to join our core AI team. You will work directly alongside our AI Infrastructure team, gaining hands-on exposure to how modern AI applications are actually built and shipped.

This is not a coffee-fetching internship. You will write real code that makes it into our codebase, contribute to agentic workflows, and grow into a reliable contributor over the course of the program.

About the role

As an AI Orchestration Engineer Intern, you will take on scoped, meaningful engineering tasks within our agentic application development efforts. You'll learn how Small Language Models (SLMs) and stateful agents come together inside a structured SDLC, build features that real users rely on and develop your engineering skills under the direct guidance of senior engineers who are invested in your growth.

Success in this role means shipping clean, tested code, asking sharp questions, and leaving the codebase better than you found it.

What you'll do

• Application Development: Build and maintain features for our agentic applications, writing clean, tested, and well-documented code under the guidance of senior engineers.
• Agentic Workflow Support: Assist in developing and debugging components of our agentic workflows, learning how stateful agents are structured, deployed, and monitored.
• Tooling & Automation: Write scripts and small utilities that improve developer experience, automate repetitive tasks, and support the team's CI/CD pipelines.
• Testing & Quality: Contribute to unit and integration tests, help triage bugs, and participate in code reviews to learn and uphold team standards.
• Documentation: Keep technical documentation current as features evolve, making it easier for the whole team to move quickly.

Requirements

Who you are

You thrive in a smaller, agile team and treat every code review and bug as a chance to level up. You're comfortable not knowing everything yet — you'd rather ship something imperfect and iterate than wait for perfect conditions. You ask good questions, accept feedback well, and can clearly explain what you're working on and where you're stuck.

You're a builder at heart, and you're genuinely excited about what's possible with AI.

What you bring to the team

• Solid foundation in at least one modern programming language (Python strongly preferred), including data structures, control flow, and basic algorithms
• Comfortable with Git and collaborative workflows (branches, pull requests, code review)
• Familiarity with LLMs/SLMs and genuine interest in agentic systems — production experience not required, but eagerness to learn is
• Some exposure to Docker, REST APIs, or cloud environments is a plus; willingness to learn quickly matters more
• Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field

Core competencies

• Simplify: Problem Solving, Analytical Thinking
• Put the Customer First: Collaboration, Service Orientation
• Act Like an Owner: Accountability, Initiative

What we offer

In return for your contributions, you'll enjoy a supportive team environment, along with:

• Paid internship with competitive hourly compensation
• Hands-on mentorship from senior engineers and AI/ML practitioners
• Real project ownership — your code ships
• Exposure to a modern AI/ML tech stack in a production environment
• Business casual work environment

Compensation

The anticipated hourly rate for this position is $20/hour.
