Founding Engineer Intern
About this role
scaile is building the infrastructure that makes brands visible in AI search. As ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews replace traditional search, we help companies get discovered and recommended by AI systems. We combine a proprietary Content Engine with AI agents to create, optimize, and deploy content at scale. Supported by Google Cloud for Startups and NCA VC, we're already live with clients like Beurer and Lyceum Technologies.
We're hiring a Software Engineer Intern to build the AI agents and pipelines that power our Content Engine. You'll ship real features that go live in days, not months. This is a 10-week, paid internship working shoulder-to-shoulder with the founding team.
Tasks
Build and ship features across our GTM Engine and AI agents
Design and optimize AI workflows and low-latency inference pipelines
Prototype fast, test in production, and iterate on real user feedback
Work across the stack with modern AI tooling (Claude Code, Cursor)
Tasks will vary, but this gives you a good sense of the remit: broad, hands-on engineering
Requirements
- You've shipped something real on your own: a product, an app, an open-source project, or a side project people actually used (that interests us more than your CV)
- Solid coding fundamentals and the ability to ship independently
- You're hands-on and adapt fast when priorities shift
- You've worked with Claude Code / Cursor (must-have)
- Modern web stack skills (TypeScript, React, Next.js) are a plus
- You communicate clearly and collaborate well
