AI Engineer Intern
About The Position
Great Question is seeking an AI-native Software Engineering intern for the summer. This is an opportunity to ship real features and own a project from day one, working directly with the CTO. The intern will work on challenging AI-focused projects related to semantic search, real-time agentic AI moderation, MCP tool structuring and prompt tuning, and setting up evaluations and quality measures for AI tools. Great Question is an all-in-one AI customer research platform that enables teams to recruit participants, run research, and share insights. The company culture is built on high trust, high agency, and high emotional intelligence, encouraging employees to leverage AI to push boundaries and unlock new possibilities.
Requirements
- Repos, weekend builds, or side projects that show how you think about AI
- Comfortable with Python/Javascript/Ruby, Git, testing, and shipping real software
- Experience building things that actually work with AI, beyond tutorials
- Self-starter with a hacker profile — you figure things out without waiting for instructions
- Curious and opinionated about where AI tooling is headed
- Ability to communicate clearly — you can explain what you built and why
Responsibilities
- Owning the full lifecycle of your project — from scoping through to shipped, production-ready code
- Building and iterating on AI systems: LLM pipelines, agents, retrieval systems, evaluation frameworks, or prompt optimization (depending on the project)
- Writing production-quality, tested, well documented code for people and agents that goes through the team's standard review process
- Participating in daily standups, code reviews, and architecture discussions alongside the engineering team
- Driving SOTA AI practices and tool usage
- Helping the team level up on AI — whether that's demoing a new approach in standup, pairing with engineers on AI-powered features, or just being the person who's always experimenting
- Presenting your work to the team and leadership at the end of the program — what you built, what you learned, what comes next
