AI Engineer Intern
About The Position
Great Question is seeking an AI-native engineering intern for the summer. This internship offers the opportunity to ship real features alongside the team, work directly with the CTO as a mentor, and launch to real users. The intern will focus on challenging AI-focused projects related to the team's current AI challenges, such as semantic search across interview hours, developing a realtime agentic AI moderator, and prompt tuning for MCP tools. The role involves full project lifecycle ownership, building and iterating on AI systems (LLM pipelines, agents, retrieval systems, evaluation frameworks, prompt optimization), writing production-quality code, participating in team discussions, and driving State-of-the-Art AI practices. The intern will also help the team improve its AI capabilities and present their work to leadership at the end of the program.
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 beyond tutorials into building AI things that actually work - and stay working a month later
- 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
Benefits
- Competitive hourly rate
- Remote-friendly with core collaboration hours (PST)
- Culture of customer obsession and curiosity
