Join a 3-month old startup and help build the next generation of AI developer tooling! In this role you will work closely with a startup founder (Fred Weitendorf ) creating a radically different way to develop APIs.
You'll have the opportunity to work on a very wide variety of projects and technologies including IDE extensions, AWS and GCP container / function as a service products, vector search, RAG development, machine learning, testing, containerization, and build tooling.
As an employee at an early stage startup, you'll be in a position to "wear many hats" and help with product management, UX research, competitive analysis, and technical documentation if the need arises and you wish to learn about these functions.
If you're interested in founding a company yourself some day, or joining a startup after graduation, this is an excellent chance to see what a startup is like in its earliest stages.
Even if you're just interested in software engineering, you'll be exposed to a much wider variety of technologies than you would in most software roles, and be able to work on cutting edge technology like RAG and multitenant cloud products.
This is a fixed-term summer 2024 internship role available for undergrad, MS, and PhD students studying Computer Science and related fields.
We're actively searching for office space in San Francisco (around FiDi / Soma), where candidates should be prepared to work full-time for 4 days a week, with one day a week remote.
Before the office space is available, candidates should be prepared to meet in person in San Francisco for 2-3 hours per day, 3 days per week.
Please let us know if you are not currently residing in the area and are interested in help with housing or relocation!
About the hiring manager : Prior to starting a company in March 2024, Fred worked as a SWE at Microsoft on the Teams telemetry platform and a senior SWE at Google on Serverless Computing products.
At Google, he led a team of engineers to completely take apart and rebuild Google Cloud Functions' dataplane for multitenancy for major performance and cost efficiency benefits, and directly hosted interns.
Responsibilities
- Assist in the development of visual studio code extensions and related frontend projects, integrating with both first and third party cloud and LLM APIs.
- Assist in the design, implementation, and testing of a cloud platform product.
- Contribute to the development of remote testing, build, and containerization and software.
- Contribute to a project to train and tune LLMs for RAG.
- Research and evaluate third-party products and tools for integration into projects.
- Contribute to basic product management, UX research, competitive analysis, and technical documentation if desired.
Qualifications
Currently pursuing a bachelor's, master's, or Phd in Computer Science or a related field.
Preferred) Familiarity with one or more of the following areas : IDE extension development, cloud backend development, containerization, LLMs / RAG, devops, developer tooling.
- Experience in programming with languages like C++, Go, Python, or Java.
- Excellent and creative problem-solving skills.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Most importantly : motivated by a desire to learn, and excited to work closely with just 1-2 engineers in a scrappy startup.
Why work here?
This is an opportunity to gain and build experience in a cutting edge field. You will get to work with third-party LLMs and custom RAG development in the context of software engineering tooling, creating an entirely new kind of product.
You will get to work closely with, and learn from, a startup founder with a rare background in mutli-tenant distributed systems, who led and shipped projects at the world's largest software companies.
And you'll have a blast working in a scrappy San Francisco startup with big ambitions! We also offer :
- Hourly pay of $35-40 / hr
- Housing and relocation assistance for those not local to the San Francisco Bay Area
- Networking and continuing education opportunities
- Lunch stipend when working from office
NOTE : As this is a summer 2024 internship role, applicants should be prepared to start working in mid-late June.
We are an equal opportunity employer. We encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds.
