Position Summary
Arcesium is building an AI Transformation team, and as an intern you will work alongside its founding members. You will help business, operations and engineering teams turn real internal problems into working AI solutions.
This is a hands-on builder role, not a traditional software internship. You will take part in scoping a problem, prototype with LLMs and agent frameworks, and put your work in front of real users early. You will own a well-defined project from idea to a working solution, with guidance from senior engineers. Success is measured by whether people use what you build and whether it makes their work better.
Responsibilities
- Work with business and functional teams to find opportunities for workflow automation, AI-assisted decision-making, and tasks agents can take on.
- Learn how internal processes work and turn them into clear problem statements and simple technical workflows.
- Build prototype agents, automations and internal tools using LLMs, agent frameworks and MCPs, on top of Arcesium’s corporate data and enterprise tools.
- Share early versions with real users, gather feedback, and iterate quickly.
- Support the path from prototype to production with engineering and security teams.
- Contribute to reusable components, templates and playbooks for the team.
- Help define success metrics and measure the impact and adoption of your project.
- Present your project and learnings to the team and stakeholders at the end of the internship.
Qualifications
- The ideal candidate should be pursuing a major in STEM field. A demonstrated passion for technology and innovative problem solving.
- A basic understanding of web application design, comfort with at least one programming language, and a desire to learn about new technologies and systems
- A strong academic background in computer science and at least three years of either personal or professional coding experience
- Professional or personal experience with Java, Kotlin, TypeScript, SQL, and/or AWS (this is a strong plus)
- Exceptional verbal and written communication skills as well as the ability to construct rigorous arguments
The expected monthly salary for this position is $10,000. Our compensation package also includes a one-time housing stipend.
The applicable salary paid to a successful applicant will be determined based on multiple factors including without limitation the nature and extent of prior experience and educational background.
