Graduate Software Engineering Intern

Software Engineering Intern
As a Software Engineering Intern at Maxima, you will work directly with our engineering and product teams to help build the foundation of the world's first AI-native accounting platform. You will contribute to the design and implementation of systems that automate complex financial workflows, power our agentic automation framework, and make enterprise accounting faster and more accurate.
This is a hands-on role where you'll write production-quality code, participate in architectural discussions, and gain exposure to large language model (LLM) integrations, workflow orchestration, and data-intensive systems. You'll learn how modern AI and automation technologies are applied to solve real-world enterprise problems at scale.
