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.
