AI-First Engineering Intern

DevExplore; Berlin; Vor Ort; EUR 12.000 - 19.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Xsolla, a global game commerce company, is transitioning to an AI-first approach. As an AI Engineer Intern in Berlin, you will build and ship code that directly reaches real users across internal teams or external game developers and players.

You will collaborate with senior engineers on AI tooling and API/SDK development, using agentic tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot to demonstrate what’s possible when AI is a core component.

Qualifikationen

• Open to current undergraduate students, graduate students, and recent graduates in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related program.
• Proven builder mindset with side projects, hackathons, or open-source contributions driven by personal curiosity.
• Hands-on AI fluency with agentic coding tools to build real applications, not just prompts.
• Bias toward action: start building and solving problems with ambiguous requirements before asking for a spec.
• Full-stack capabilities with a quick-learning ability.

Aufgaben

• Build & Ship Code: collaborate with senior engineers to identify friction points and build production-grade AI solutions and integrations.
• API & SDK Development: build apps on top of Xsolla's APIs/SDKs to demonstrate speed improvements via AI-assisted development.
• Agentic Tooling First: use agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) as your default workflow.
• Weekly Demos: participate in weekly 30-second lightning-talk demos to show how you used AI to solve a problem.
• High-Autonomy Environment: work with minimal process to design and execute solutions independently.
• Cross-Regional Collaboration: work with mentors and a global cohort of interns exchanging ideas, code, and AI workflows.

Jobbeschreibung

About Xsolla

Xsolla is a global commerce company headquartered in Los Angeles, California, providing game developers—from indie creators to AAA studios—with tools and services to fund, distribute, market, and monetize their games. Operating as the merchant of record for over 1,500+ game developers, Xsolla enables creators to reach players and grow their businesses worldwide.

About The Role

Xsolla is transitioning into an AI-first company. As an AI Engineer Intern, you won't sit in the back office - you will build and ship code that directly reaches real users (internal teams or external game developers and players).

You Will Focus On Two Core Areas

• Internal AI Initiatives: Building AI tooling and integrations to remove operational friction faster.
• Proof-of-Concept Builds: Creating applications on top of Xsolla's APIs and SDKs to demonstrate what is possible when building with AI as a core component.

Key Responsibilities

• Build & Ship Code: Collaborate with senior engineers to identify friction points and build production-grade AI solutions and integrations.
• API & SDK Development: Build applications on top of Xsolla's APIs/SDKs that demonstrate speed improvements via AI-assisted development.
• Agentic Tooling First: Use agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) as your default, everyday workflow.
• Weekly Demos: Participate in weekly 30-second lightning-talk demos to showcase how you used AI to solve a specific problem that week.
• High-Autonomy Environment: Operate with minimal process - taking context, a problem, and mentor guidance to design and execute solutions independently.
• Cross-Regional Collaboration: Work alongside senior mentors and a global cohort of fellow interns trading ideas, code, and AI workflows.

What We're Looking For

• Education: Open to current undergraduate students, graduate students, and recent graduates in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related program.
• Proven Builder Mindset: Side projects, hackathon entries, or open-source contributions driven by personal curiosity.
• Hands-On AI Fluency: Demonstrated experience using agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) to build real applications (not just prompting ChatGPT for explanations).
• Bias Toward Action: Ability to start building and problem-solving through ambiguous requirements before asking for a spec.
• Full-Stack Capabilities: Comfort developing modern full-stack solutions with a strong ability to learn quickly.
