[Hiring] AI Software Developer Intern @Parallels

Role Description

We’re looking for an AI Software Developer Intern to help the CorelDRAW engineering team work in a fundamentally new way. You’ll design and build AI agents that our developers use every day – on the codebase behind software that millions of people create with. Your work won’t sit in a sandbox; it will change how a veteran C++ team ships a 30-year-old product.

This is a six-month internship, fully remote, with the possibility of an extension.

The role

• Design, build, and integrate AI agents and harnesses that support the CorelDRAW development team.
• Apply AI to the daily developer workflow – assisted code review, unit test generation to improve coverage, and faster debugging – and help shape how the team adopts these tools.
• Support AI initiatives across the wider development organization and share what you learn with the team.
• Take part in daily scrum to plan and deliver new features.
• Explore emerging AI tools and practices, and present promising ones to the team for adoption.

What you’ll take away

• Real experience in a large, mature C++ codebase – the kind most developers don’t touch until years into their career.
• Practical judgment about AI-assisted development: where agents genuinely accelerate work, and where they quietly create problems.
• A mentor on the CorelDRAW team, regular feedback, and code reviews that make you better.
• Work that shipped, and the story of how you got it there.

Qualifications

• Creative, curious, and genuinely passionate about software development.
• A collaborator who is motivated by technical challenges, creative in solving them, and interested in new ways to help people create, collaborate, and do their best work.
• A working foundation in C++ – coursework or personal projects are plenty. Familiarity with modern C++ (C++17 or newer) and secure coding habits is a plus.
• Comfort in a large codebase, or the appetite to get there fast.
• Genuinely energized by AI: you already experiment with AI coding assistants and agents, you have a feel for where they help and where they don’t.
• A fast, self-directed learner who keeps pace with emerging tools and practices.
• Clear communication – you can explain a technical idea to someone who didn’t build it.
• Strong time- and self-management, which matters on a remote team.
• Care for product quality and attention to detail.

Requirements

• Not required, but useful if you have them:
• AI/LLM tools, APIs, or agent frameworks.
• Building small tools or integrations around LLMs, for desktop or cloud.
• C#, WPF/XAML, or C++/CLI.
• Windows and/or macOS development, Microsoft Visual Studio, or Xcode.
• Graphics applications and APIs, especially web-based ones.
• Agile development practices.

Benefits

• CorelDRAW Graphics Suite is an award-winning solution that powers graphic design on Mac, Windows, and the web.
• We have millions of users and decades of innovation under our belts.
• We’re fully remote and work-from-anywhere – and we mean it. No office pressure, and flexible arrangements to suit how you work best.
• Hours are flexible, too! You’ve worked hard to build your life, and we don’t want you to give it up for work.
• Our team is growing fast, and it’s full of smart, motivated people ready to welcome you in.
• We’re investing in AI across the business – both in the products our users rely on and in the tools and processes our engineers build with.
