[Hiring] AI Engineer Intern @Great Question

Role Description

We're hiring an AI-native Software Engineering intern for the summer. You'll ship real features alongside the team — not a side project, not a sandbox. If you're already building with AI on your own time, this is a chance to do it at a company where it's the product.

You'll own a real project from day one, working directly with our CTO as your mentor for the full three months, and launching to real users. You’ll work on interesting and challenging AI-focused projects related to some of the AI challenges our team is facing. A few examples:

• Semantic search across tens of thousands of interview hours
• Realtime agentic AI moderator - TTS, STT & Vision awareness
• MCP tool structuring and prompt tuning
• Setting up evals and quality measures across MCP tools and internal agents

Qualifications

• You're already doing this on your own time.
• You've built agents, experimented with novel prompting approaches, or shipped AI tools as side projects.
• You don't need to be told to start building — you just do.

Requirements

• You have repos, weekend builds, or side projects that show how you think about AI — send them.
• You're a decent engineer: comfortable with Python/Javascript/Ruby, Git, testing, and shipping real software.
• You're really good with AI: you've gone beyond tutorials into building things that actually work - and stay working a month later.
• You're a self-starter with a hacker profile — you figure things out without waiting for instructions.
• You're curious and opinionated about where AI tooling is headed.
• You communicate clearly — you can explain what you built and why.

Benefits

• A culture of customer obsession and curiosity.
• Opportunity to shape and scale a critical business function.
• Remote-first culture with high trust and high autonomy.
• Annual team retreats and virtual events.
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI integrations that matter.
• Competitive compensation & equity.
• Generous PTO, health benefits, and learning stipend.

How to Apply

Send us three things:

• A lightweight demo that shows us why you want to work at Great Question.
• Build something with AI — a repo, a deployed tool, a video walkthrough. It doesn't need to be polished. We want to see how you think, what you reach for, and whether you engaged with what we're building.
• A short written answer: Why are you right for this role?
• Your resume.

Details

• Duration: 3 months (mid-June through mid-September 2026)
• Compensation: Competitive hourly rate
• Format: Remote-friendly with core collaboration hours (PST)
• Start date: June 2026
