Job description

AI Developer Intern

Axiom Consultants is seeking an AI Developer Intern to join our technical team. In this role, you will work directly with AI tools-specifically Claude CoWork and Claude Code-to architect, build, and deploy software solutions for cybersecurity operations and federal business development (BD).This internship offers hands-on experience applying LLM-driven development methodologies to real-world federal consulting and enterprise challenges. You will collaborate closely with experienced engineers and leaders to transform operational workflows into automated AI tools.

What You'll Work On

• Develop AI-Powered Cybersecurity Tools: Leverage Claude Code and Claude CoWork to build automated tools for security control mapping (NIST SP 800-53 / FedRAMP), vulnerability log analysis, compliance verification, and threat intelligence summarization.
• Build Business Development & Capture Automation: Construct AI workflows to accelerate proposal development, automate RFP response matrix generation, parse past performance data, and draft technical narrative sections.
• Implement Agentic Workflows: Experiment with autonomous coding agents, multi-step prompt chains, and custom Claude developer workflows to streamline team productivity.
• Integrate & Prototype: Write clean, maintainable code (Python, TypeScript/JavaScript) to integrate Claude APIs into internal tools and client-facing software prototypes.
• Document & Benchmark: Document prompt structures, agent execution paths, and technical architectures while benchmarking AI output quality and safety.

What We Are Looking For

• Educational Background: Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Software Engineering, Data Science, or a related technical field.
• AI Tool Experience: High enthusiasm for and practical experience using developer-focused AI tools (e.g., Claude Code, Claude CoWork, LLM APIs, prompt engineering frameworks).
• Core Software Skills: Proficiency in Python or JavaScript/TypeScript, with foundational knowledge of REST APIs, Git version control, and web application architecture. Domain Curiosity: Keen interest in cybersecurity, cloud security concepts, and federal IT consulting operations.
• Communication & Eligibility: Strong written/verbal communication skills.

What You'll Get

• Modern Developer Stack Experience: Direct, daily application of state-of-the-art AI coding agents and developer environments (Claude CoWork & Claude Code).
• Mentorship & Exposure: Direct mentorship from executive leadership, senior cybersecurity architects, and proposal strategists.
• Real-World Impact: Ownership of internal software products and tools that will be deployed across active enterprise operations.
• Flexibility & Compensation: Competitive paid internship with remote/hybrid flexibility structured around your academic schedule.
• Career Pathways: Consideration for future full-time roles or advanced technical positions upon graduation.

The Person Who Will Thrive Here

• The Rapid Builder: You love testing new AI capabilities, writing prompts, and prototyping software tools to solve everyday engineering problems faster.
• The Pragmatic Problem Solver: You focus on building practical tools that save people time and solve concrete business or technical challenges.
• The Inquisitive Learner: You dive into new domains-such as government contracting or cybersecurity compliance frameworks-to identify where AI can add immediate value.
• The Collaborative Communicator: You enjoy demonstrating how your AI tools work, sharing learnings with the team, and refining tools based on user feedback.
