Software Engineer Intern

Introduction

We value candidates who have significant experience with managing complexity, working independently, and are motivated by hard problems.

What We Offer

• The ability to have real impact on mission-critical workflows

• The chance to use state-of-the-art tech to solve novel problems with mission partners

• The opportunity to define your role through time as we grow

• Competitive salary and equity upside with annual merit refreshes based on impact

Position Overview

As a Software Engineer Intern, you’ll work alongside our engineering team to build ConductorAI’s core application: a user-facing web platform for large-scale document search, review, and AI-powered workflows. You’ll contribute to real production systems, including document-processing pipelines, agentic workflow execution, database scaling, and applications that push state-of-the-art LLMs to their limits.

This is a product engineering role as much as a systems role. You’ll help design and build intuitive interfaces for complex, document-centric workflows and see how the software you build is used to solve real problems across defense, government, and regulated commercial environments.

You won’t be confined to low-stakes intern projects. You’ll be trusted with meaningful work on our product’s critical path and given the opportunity to own features from problem definition through implementation. You’ll work closely with experienced engineers who will provide mentorship and technical guidance while giving you the autonomy to experiment, learn quickly, and take on increasingly challenging problems.

We’re looking for interns with strong computer science fundamentals, a generalist mindset, and the curiosity and drive to learn new technologies quickly. You’ll join a small, tight-knit technical team where interns work directly alongside full-time engineers and have meaningful visibility into how an early-stage company builds products, makes technical decisions, and scales.

This internship is intended to be a pathway to future opportunities at ConductorAI. Strong performers may have the opportunity to return for additional internships or co-ops or join the team full-time after graduation.

Location

This internship is open to candidates based in the US, with a strong preference for candidates who can work from our NYC or DC offices for the summer.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and improve search, review, and AI-powered agents for accuracy and consistency

• Build polished, reliable user-facing features in our Next.js/React application
