Quick Overview
Job Description
Software Engineer Intern (AI-Native) — Fall 2026
We’re looking for engineers who don’t just use AI tools — you build with them.
At Kognitos, you’ll work on real product problems using tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI-assisted workflows. You’ll ship fast, learn faster, and operate in a highly iterative environment alongside experienced engineers.
This is not a “watch and learn” internship — you’ll be writing production code, contributing to core systems, and helping shape how we build.
What You’ll Do
Build and ship features end-to-end with the engineering team
Use AI-native tooling (Claude, Cursor, etc.) to accelerate development workflows
Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code
Participate in code reviews and technical discussions
Debug issues and improve system performance
Contribute to projects across AI, automation, and data systems
Move quickly, test ideas, and iterate in a fast-paced environment
What We’re Looking For
Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science or a related field (or equivalent experience)
Strong fundamentals in programming (Python, JavaScript, or similar)
Comfortable building with modern dev tools and workflows
Familiar with Git and collaborative development
Solid understanding of core CS concepts (data structures, algorithms, systems basics)
Strong problem-solving ability and curiosity
Clear communicator and team-oriented
Bonus Points
Experience using AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.)
Built projects using LLMs, APIs, or automation workflows
Familiarity with modern web stacks (React, Node, etc.)
Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure)
Prior internship, startup, or side project experience
Final note
You do not need to match all of the listed expectations to apply for this position. We are committed to building a team with a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and skills.
