Forward Deployed Engineer, Intern

Retell AIRedwood City, CA
Onsite

About The Position

We’re looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer Intern to work directly with our customers and engineering team. You’ll sit at the intersection of engineering and customers. You’ll help build, test, and deploy AI voice solutions for real-world use cases, troubleshoot technical issues, and work closely with customers to make sure what we build actually works in production. This isn’t a typical internship where you’re working on a side project. You’ll work on real customer deployments, ship code, and see the impact of your work quickly. You’ll also work closely with our engineering team to bring what we learn from customers back into the product.

Requirements

  • You’re pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • You enjoy building things and figuring out how they work.
  • You have experience programming in Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, or a similar language.
  • You’re comfortable working through ambiguous technical problems.
  • You’re interested in AI and want to work on systems that are actually being used by customers.
  • You communicate clearly and enjoy working directly with people.
  • You move quickly and take ownership without needing everything spelled out.
  • You’ve built projects, shipped software, or worked on something outside of school that you’re excited to talk about.

Responsibilities

  • Build & Deploy: Build and deploy technical solutions for real customer use cases.
  • Work with Customers: Join customer calls, understand their problems, and help turn those problems into technical solutions.
  • Solve Problems: Debug issues across APIs, integrations, data, and AI systems.
  • Ship Quickly: Write code, test solutions, and get them into production.
  • Improve the Product: Identify patterns across deployments and work with engineering to turn them into product improvements.
  • Own Projects: Take projects from an initial customer problem through deployment and iteration.

Benefits

  • Competitive internship compensation
