Software engineering Intern

Maximor AI • New York City, NY

14d

About The Position

We're building the future of accounting. Our AI-powered agentic platform automates complex financial workflows — from reconciliation and audit prep to tax compliance and advisory — so accountants can focus on the work that actually matters. Backed by top-tier investors, we're a small, fast-moving team shipping product at a pace that would make most startups jealous.

Requirements

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (expected graduation 2027 or later)
• Strong fundamentals in at least one programming language (Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Go, or similar)
• Familiarity with web development concepts (APIs, databases, front-end frameworks)
• Genuine curiosity about AI/ML, large language models, or agentic systems — prior project work or coursework is a plus, not a requirement
• Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward action — you'd rather ship an imperfect v1 than deliberate forever
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset

Nice To Haves

• Experience with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) or prompt engineering
• Exposure to accounting, fintech, or enterprise SaaS
• Contributions to open-source projects
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP) or containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and ship features across our full stack (React/TypeScript front end, Python/FastAPI back end, PostgreSQL)
• Work with LLM orchestration frameworks to develop, test, and improve our AI accounting agents
• Collaborate with accountants and domain experts to understand real-world workflows and translate them into product
• Write clean, well-tested code and participate in code reviews with experienced engineers
• Tackle ambiguous problems — we'll give you ownership, context, and support, not a step-by-step playbook
• Present your summer project to the full team at the end of the internship

Benefits

• Your code will be in production, used by accountants at real firms, before you go back to school.
• Daily exposure to AI agents, LLM engineering, and complex financial domain problems — the kind of experience that's hard to get anywhere else.
• Small enough that everyone knows your name, senior enough that you'll learn from every conversation.
• Strong interns receive full-time return offers. Several of our current engineers started as interns.
