Intern, AI & Agentic Automation Engineering (Summer 2026)

Position Overview

Symend is hiring AI & Agentic Automation Engineering Interns to help us automate the manual work that sits across marketing, sales, and delivery — and turn our internal operations into a competitive advantage.

You will build agents, workflows, and AI-powered tools that take work humans do today and execute it better, cheaper, and faster. Think: automating RFP response drafting, generating ROI and business case models, building client-specific knowledge bases, producing and reviewing marketing content, and accelerating sales deliverables. If it's repetitive, judgment-light, and slow today, your job is to make it agentic.

This is a high-leverage, hands‑on role. You will work directly with the CEO and senior leaders, ship things into production within days (not quarters), and have a real impact on how Symend operates.

Key Duties and Responsibilities

• Design, build, and deploy agentic workflows and AI automations across marketing, sales, and delivery functions
• Build internal tools and lightweight applications (web apps, scripts, agents) that automate manual, repetitive work
• Develop and orchestrate prompts, chains, and multi-agent workflows using modern LLM platforms (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.)
• Integrate AI tools with internal systems — Confluence, Slack, SharePoint, Salesforce/CRM, marketing tools — via APIs and connectors
• Build knowledge bases and retrieval pipelines tailored to specific clients, products, and use cases
• Automate the production of business cases, ROI models, RFP responses, content review, and delivery artifacts
• Partner with subject‑matter owners (sales, marketing, delivery, BeSci) to identify high‑value automation targets and ship working tools
• Test, iterate, document, and hand off automations for ongoing use by the broader team

Candidate Profile

• Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science, Engineering, or a related technical field
• Hands‑on experience building with LLMs and agentic frameworks (e.g., Claude, OpenAI, LangChain, LlamaIndex, MCP, n8n, or similar) — this is the core of the role
• Proficiency in Python and/or JavaScript/TypeScript
• Working understanding of APIs, web development, and software design principles
• Familiarity with databases (SQL or NoSQL) and basic data modeling
• Bias toward action: you'd rather ship a v1 today than perfect a spec for two weeks
• Strong problem‑solving skills, curiosity, and resourcefulness

Nice to Have

• Prior projects (school, hackathon, personal) where you built and deployed an AI agent or automation that did real work
• Experience with full‑stack frameworks (React, Node.js, Next.js)
• Exposure to cloud platforms (Azure preferred; AWS/GCP also welcome)
• Experience integrating with workplace tools (Slack, Microsoft 365, Confluence, Atlassian, Salesforce, HubSpot)
• Interest in behavioral science, customer engagement, or applied AI in enterprise settings

What You’ll Get

• Real impact. Your code will ship and be used. We measure interns by what they put into production, not what they propose.
• Direct mentorship. You will work closely with senior leaders and the CEO on problems that matter.
• AI‑first environment. Symend is investing aggressively in AI as a core capability. You'll work with the best models, tools, and infrastructure available.
• Pathway to full‑time. Top performers transition to part‑time during the school year and full‑time after graduation.
• Compensation: Competitive intern salary — details provided during the interview process.
