Job description

Summer Paid Internship, Full-Time Hours, ON-SITE Winterset, IA

AGRILAND FS is a fast-growing energy company delivering diesel, gasoline, propane, and other petroleum products to customers nationwide, with a full agronomy business alongside. Our small technical team builds and runs the ELEVATE application suite and the ATLAS data platform on AWS, and we use AI as a core part of our daily workflow, not an occasional shortcut.

We are looking for a builder. Someone who tinkers, ships side projects, breaks things on purpose to see how they work, and already lives in GitHub. You will spend the summer writing real code for real internal applications that real coworkers use every day, with AI pair-programming tools as a force multiplier, not a crutch.

What You'll Do

• Build and ship features for the ELEVATE application suite: React, HTML, CSS served from S3 and CloudFront, talking to serverless APIs
• Use AI coding tools as part of a real development workflow: scaffolding, prototyping, debugging, writing tests, and reviewing generated code critically before it merges
• Work Git-native from day one: branches, pull requests, code review, and deployment, no zip files emailed around
• Turn rough requirements from business stakeholders into working screens, forms, and reports
• Touch the full stack when curiosity strikes: peek at the Python behind the API, the DynamoDB or Postgres table behind the data, and the pipeline that feeds it
• Contribute to a growing library of reusable components and internal documentation
• Demo your work to the team and to the business users who asked for it

What We're Looking For

• A builder's mindset: personal projects, a GitHub profile with actual commits, a homelab, a Discord bot, a game mod, anything that shows you make things for fun
• GitHub-native habits: you know what a branch, a commit, and a pull request are because you use them, not because you read about them
• Hands-on experience with an AI coding tool such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or similar, and the judgment to review what it produces rather than accept it blindly
• Enough data fundamentals to know what a foreign key is and why it matters
• Curiosity about how things work, not just that they work
• Clear communication with technical and non-technical people alike

Nice to Have

• You know what a Lambda is, and better yet, you have deployed one
• Exposure to any AWS serverless services (S3, CloudFront, API Gateway, DynamoDB) or infrastructure as code
• Experience with a modern front-end framework (React, Vue, or similar)
• SQL you have actually run against a real database

Requirements

• Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Information Technology, or a related field, or a self-taught equivalent with the portfolio to prove it
• Must have and maintain a valid driver's license and satisfactory driving record
• Must pass a criminal and credit background check along with a drug test
• Ability and willingness to participate in required company training, including IT policies, procedures, and security protocols

Why This Internship Is Different

Most internships hand you a sandbox and a slideshow. Here, you will commit to production repos in your first two weeks, ship features that coworkers use the same month, and learn a modern AI-assisted development workflow that most senior developers are still figuring out. And because we build our own applications on open tooling, the skills you leave with are not tied to any one vendor's platform. If you want to find out whether a development career is for you, this is the fastest way to know.
