Job description

We are seeking an entry-level AI Development Intern. This is a hybrid position

(4 days on-site; Austin candidates only). It is for a student or recent graduate with a strong interest in applied artificial intelligence, development, and data work. No prior professional experience is required—this role is for someone early in their career who is eager to build practical, hands‑on skills using modern AI‑assisted development tools.

You will work primarily with AI‑assisted development platforms such as Claude, GitHub Copilot, and Snowflake to support development and database‑related tasks. The role is technically focused rather than business‑facing, and the intern will collaborate closely with data analysts rather than business stakeholders. Work will be performed in support of data surrounding an in‑house application and environment — you will not work directly within the application itself, but on adjacent data assets and pipelines.

Responsibilities

• Use AI‑assisted development tools (Claude, Copilot, Snowflake) to support coding and database tasks
• Assist with writing, testing, and troubleshooting queries and scripts under guidance from senior team members
• Support development and maintenance of data structures, pipelines, and database objects surrounding the application
• Collaborate with data analysts to understand data needs and support requests
• Help document technical processes, code changes, and data workflows
• Assist in testing and validating data outputs for accuracy and quality
• Learn and apply best practices for AI‑assisted software and database development
• Participate in team meetings, code reviews, and knowledge‑sharing sessions
• Take direction from senior developers/analysts and escalates issues as needed

Requirements

• Basic understanding of programming and/or database concepts (e.g., SQL fundamentals)
• Interest in learning AI‑assisted development tools such as Claude, Copilot, or Snowflake
• Willingness to learn, take direction, and work under supervision
• Good communication skills, particularly with technical peers
• Detail‑oriented with a willingness to ask questions

Preferred

• Coursework or class projects involving SQL, databases, or data analysis
• Exposure to any AI coding assistants (Claude, Copilot, ChatGPT, etc.)
• Internship, co‑op, or academic project experience involving development or data work
