Symend • Calgary, AB

1d

About The Position

Symend is hiring AI & Agentic Automation Engineering Interns to help automate manual work across marketing, sales, and delivery, transforming internal operations into a competitive advantage. Interns will build agents, workflows, and AI-powered tools to execute tasks better, cheaper, and faster than humans currently do. This includes automating RFP response drafting, generating ROI and business case models, building client-specific knowledge bases, producing and reviewing marketing content, and accelerating sales deliverables. The role is high-leverage and hands-on, with direct work alongside the CEO and senior leaders, shipping production-ready solutions quickly and making a tangible impact on Symend's operations.

Requirements

• Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Hands-on experience building with LLMs and agentic frameworks (e.g., Claude, OpenAI, LangChain, LlamaIndex, MCP, n8n, or similar).
• Proficiency in Python and/or JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Working understanding of APIs, web development, and software design principles.
• Familiarity with databases (SQL or NoSQL) and basic data modeling.
• Bias toward action: you'd rather ship a v1 today than perfect a spec for two weeks.
• Strong problem-solving skills, curiosity, and resourcefulness.

Nice To Haves

• Prior projects (school, hackathon, personal) where you built and deployed an AI agent or automation that did real work.
• Experience with full-stack frameworks (React, Node.js, Next.js).
• Exposure to cloud platforms (Azure preferred; AWS/GCP also welcome).
• Experience integrating with workplace tools (Slack, Microsoft 365, Confluence, Atlassian, Salesforce, HubSpot).
• Interest in behavioral science, customer engagement, or applied AI in enterprise settings.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and deploy agentic workflows and AI automations across marketing, sales, and delivery functions.
• Build internal tools and lightweight applications (web apps, scripts, agents) that automate manual, repetitive work.
• Develop and orchestrate prompts, chains, and multi-agent workflows using modern LLM platforms (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.).
• Integrate AI tools with internal systems — Confluence, Slack, SharePoint, Salesforce/CRM, marketing tools — via APIs and connectors.
• Build knowledge bases and retrieval pipelines tailored to specific clients, products, and use cases.
• Automate the production of business cases, ROI models, RFP responses, content review, and delivery artifacts.
• Partner with subject-matter owners (sales, marketing, delivery, BeSci) to identify high-value automation targets and ship working tools.
• Test, iterate, document, and hand off automations for ongoing use by the broader team.

Benefits

• Real impact. Your code will ship and be used.
• Direct mentorship. You will work closely with senior leaders and the CEO on problems that matter.
• AI-first environment. Symend is investing aggressively in AI as a core capability. You'll work with the best models, tools, and infrastructure available.
• Pathway to full-time. Top performers transition to part-time during the school year and full-time after graduation.
• Competitive intern salary — details provided during the interview process.
