About the role
We're looking for enthusiastic students to join our R&D and engineering team and work on real, customer-facing product features at the frontier of AI-native software. This is a hands‑on internship building the systems that let autonomous AI agents query data, reason about it reliably, and act on it. This is a fundamentally different kind of engineering challenge to traditional human-facing software.
You’ll work alongside experienced engineers on genuinely novel problems where the “right” answer isn’t yet known. Expect real technical uncertainty, real experimentation, and the chance to see your work ship into a live commercial platform.
What you'll work on Agent-facing APIs and data modelsDesign and build API endpoints and data models that expose real‑time, structured, queryable data for AI agents to consume. You’ll help define what “agent-readable” actually means and build the schemas and query semantics that let agents reason reliably.
AI agent engineeringBuild, test and iterate on production AI agents. Work through the hard problems of reliability, tool‑use and guardrails, and learn to reason systematically about failure modes in a commercial setting.
AI‑driven operational workflowsDevelop agents and analytics that monitor, triage and elevate issues with minimal human intervention. Moving systems from simply flagging “what is wrong” toward explaining “why it matters and what to do next.”
Data pipelines and telemetryInstrument product telemetry and build clean, integrated, agent‑queryable data pipelines across product, usage and operational data, so agents can reason over reliable data at scale. Analyse the resulting data to draw actionable insights.
Genuine exposure to commercial R&D, mentorship from experienced engineers, work that ships into a live product, and a strong foundation for a career in AI-native software engineering.
