Software Engineer Intern

Software Engineering Intern Company Description

Clonin builds AI representatives that actively attend, understand, and participate in virtual meetings on behalf of or alongside users. Unlike traditional meeting assistants that only record and summarize, Clonin's AI can speak, answer questions, and contribute to discussions using a user's knowledge, context, and goals.

We're building the next generation of AI-powered collaboration tools, where intelligent agents can meaningfully represent people in professional conversations. As an early-stage startup, Clonin provides opportunities to learn directly from its founding team and gain exposure to emerging technologies in artificial intelligence, real-time communications, and software engineering.

Role Description

We are seeking a motivated Software Engineering Intern interested in gaining practical experience with AI-powered applications, backend engineering, and real-time communication technologies.

This is an unpaid, educational internship focused on technical learning, mentorship, and professional development. Interns will participate in guided technical exercises, engineering discussions, and supervised learning activities designed to strengthen their understanding of modern software development.

The internship is intended to complement academic learning and will not substitute for paid engineering positions or require interns to independently deliver production software.
