Software Engineer Intern
About The Position
At August , we’re building AI designed for one thing: helping law firms practice better. Unlike tools built for the AmLaw 100, our focus is on midsized firms — where efficiency, client service, and competitive advantage matter most. Our platform helps lawyers draft, review, and analyze documents at scale, turning what used to take hours into minutes. We’re trusted by forward-thinking firms across the U.S., Australia, and Asia, and backed by leading investors (NEA, Pear VC, Stanford Law) to grow globally. We move quickly, learn directly from clients, and believe that AI is transforming the practice of law. The Opportunity August is building AGI for law. Our agents mimic a lawyers' reasoning, research, and drafting, and our workflows already outperform lawyers in third-party evaluations. We're targeting mid-market law firms, automating their legal work and allowing them to provide our tools directly to their clients. Join August at an early stage as we scale our agents to process thousands of documents simultaneously and create outputs exceeding human-level accuracy. As a Full-Stack Engineering Intern at August, you will contribute to production-grade agents that perform legal tasks with expert-level reasoning. You'll work closely with the founders, legal experts, and product team to support AI systems in high-stakes workflows used by real lawyers across the globe.
