Job summary

ArcaLabs seeks SWE interns to ship code into production from day one. Internships run 10–12+ weeks, aligned with your school calendar. You will sit with the founding team in Palo Alto, own real components of the platform, and see your work in top-tier banks before the internship ends.

This is not a coffee-fetching internship; interns work on meaningful parts of the product, including deep systems work like Hardpan. Strong return offer pipeline for new-grad full-time roles.

Qualifications

• Have shipped a non-trivial software project (open source, side project, course capstone, or prior internship).
• Read papers on agents, distributed systems, or model post-training for fun.
• Are comfortable in Python and TypeScript, or Python plus another typed language; our control plane is TypeScript.

Responsibilities

• Own a meaningful chunk of our agent runtime: retrieval, memory, evals, or data pipelines.
• Build infrastructure for agent workflows: sandboxes, VMs, lifecycle management, observability.
• Work on evals and observability to ship better agents faster.
• Pair with Forward Deployed Engineers on real customer deployments, sometimes onsite.
• Ship production code for our platform components.
• Help determine which intern will get a strong return offer.
