Job Description

Software Engineer Intern (AI-Native) — Summer 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.
