Job Overview

We are seeking an Enterprise Technology Intern to help bring AI and Automation to Saronic’s enterprise software. You will work directly with our team of business system analysts and developers to design, build, and ship AI agents, automations, and the frameworks that make our entire enterprise technology organization faster.

• Advance spec-driven development by helping the team write clear, structured specifications - intent, requirements, and acceptance criteria - that both engineers and AI agents build from to validate generated implementation

• Develop reusable agent skills and tools for improved capabilities and scalability across the organization

• Connect agents to enterprise tools, data, and actions through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to build and wire servers and connectors enabling AI to operate across business workflows

• Drive AI adoption and productivity across Saronic by identifying high-value use cases, prototyping agents and copilots that remove manual work, and helping teams put them into daily use

• Familiarity with at least one backend programming language (Python, Java, or similar)

• Hands-on experience using agentic coding tools like Claude Code or Codex to build, automate, or accelerate work

• Experience with agentic design patterns (tools, human-in-the-loop, multi-agent systems, observability)

• This role requires full-time in-office presence (40 hours/week) at our headquarters in Austin, TX. Open to Spring 2027 and/or Summer 2027 (May through August 2027)

Nice to Have
