Software Engineer Intern (AI-Native) — Fall 2026

We’re looking for engineers who don’t just use AI tools — you build with them.

At Kognitos, you’ll work on real product problems using tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI-assisted workflows. You’ll ship fast, learn faster, and operate in a highly iterative environment alongside experienced engineers.

This is not a “watch and learn” internship — you’ll be writing production code, contributing to core systems, and helping shape how we build.

What You’ll Do

Build and ship features end-to-end with the engineering team

Use AI-native tooling (Claude, Cursor, etc.) to accelerate development workflows

Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code

Participate in code reviews and technical discussions

Debug issues and improve system performance

Contribute to projects across AI, automation, and data systems

Move quickly, test ideas, and iterate in a fast-paced environment

What We’re Looking For

Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science or a related field (or equivalent experience)

Strong fundamentals in programming (Python, JavaScript, or similar)

Comfortable building with modern dev tools and workflows

Familiar with Git and collaborative development

Solid understanding of core CS concepts (data structures, algorithms, systems basics)

Strong problem-solving ability and curiosity

Clear communicator and team-oriented

Bonus Points

Experience using AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.)

Built projects using LLMs, APIs, or automation workflows

Familiarity with modern web stacks (React, Node, etc.)

Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure)

Prior internship, startup, or side project experience

Final note

You do not need to match all of the listed expectations to apply for this position. We are committed to building a team with a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and skills.
