AI / Software Engineering Intern

POSITION
AI / Software Engineering Intern
A paid 6-month internship building production software for industry clients. Work on real-world problems with the engineering team. Overlap required with US and Australian time zones.
ABOUT THE ROLE
aiqon is hiring AI / Software Engineering Interns for a paid, 6-month internship. You'll work on real-world problems for industry clients (not throwaway intern projects) and ship software that people actually use.
This is a hands-on role. You'll ship code, review pull requests, debug production issues, and learn how a small team designs, builds, and iterates. Depending on the project, you may work on product features, APIs, data pipelines, or AI-powered tools for client systems.
We're looking for people who have recently completed, or are about to complete, a degree in computer science, AI, or software engineering, who write clean code, think from first principles, and want to learn by building.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Build and ship features on real-world systems for industry clients.
Contribute to AI-powered features such as LLM integrations, retrieval pipelines, and tooling that makes those systems reliable.
Write clear, maintainable code with tests; participate in code review and iterate based on feedback.
Debug issues end-to-end, from UI to API to data, and document what you learn so the team can move faster.
Collaborate with product and client stakeholders to turn operational needs into working software.
Improve developer experience where you see friction: scripts, docs, types, and small infrastructure fixes.
REQUIREMENTS
Recently completed, or about to complete, a Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, AI/ML, Software Engineering, or a closely related field.
Strong programming skills in Python and/or TypeScript/JavaScript; you can write working software without being walked through every step.
Comfort with Git, web fundamentals (HTTP, REST, HTML/CSS), and at least one modern framework (e.g. React, Node, or a Python web stack).
Genuine interest in AI/ML and software engineering. You experiment, read docs, and ship small projects of your own.
A GitHub, portfolio, or LinkedIn that shows work you have actually built.
Clear written communication in English; you can explain trade-offs and ask for help early.
Willing to work overlapping hours with US and Australian time zones.
Available for a paid 6-month internship in hybrid, remote, or onsite (Hyderabad) mode.
Due to the high volume of applications, only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. Thank you.
