About This Role:
We're looking for an AI-native engineering intern to join us for the summer. You'll ship real features alongside the team, working directly with our CTO as your mentor, and launching to real users. You’ll work on interesting and challenging AI-focused projects related to some of the AI challenges our team is facing. A few examples:
Semantic search across tens of thousands of interview hours
Realtime agentic AI moderator - TTS, STT & Vision awareness
MCP tool structuring and prompt tuning
Setting up evals and quality measures across MCP tools and internal agents
What You'll Be Responsible For:
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
About You:
You're already doing this on your own time. You've built agents, experimented with novel prompting approaches, or shipped AI tools as side projects. You don't need to be told to start building — you just do.
What Matters:
You have repos, weekend builds, or side projects that show how you think about AI — send them
You're a decent engineer: comfortable with Python/Javascript/Ruby, Git, testing, and shipping real software
You're really good with AI: you've gone beyond tutorials into building things that actually work - and stay working a month later.
You're a self-starter with a hacker profile — you figure things out without waiting for instructions
You're curious and opinionated about where AI tooling is headed
You communicate clearly — you can explain what you built and why
What matters less: specific degree, years of experience, or which framework you prefer.
How to Apply:
Send us three things:
A lightweight demo that shows us why you want to work at Great Question.
Build something with AI — a repo, a deployed tool, a video walkthrough. It doesn't need to be polished. We want to see how you think, what you reach for, and whether you engaged with what we're building.
