    Job Description

    Forward Deployed Engineer Intern

    San Francisco · Summer · In-person

     

    What we do

    We're building Infragrid to end the tax of manual financial work. We capture how businesses operate (SOPs, screen recordings, and analyst expertise), and compile those workflows into deterministic software. The result is an operational platform that powers AI automation across insurance, banking, and commercial real estate. Backed by a16z; built by ex-Palantir, ex-Mercor, and ex-AWS engineers.

     

    What you'll do

    As a Forward Deployed Engineer Intern, you'll work directly with customers and the founding team to deliver real business impact from day one.

     

    One week might look like:

    • Join a customer call on Monday to understand their toughest challenges

    • Collaborate with founders and engineers on Tuesday to architect a solution

    • Deploy your product to production by Thursday and watch customers use your work

     

    You'll work across:

    • Workflow engine

    • Ontology and data models

    • AI-powered applications

    • Screen-recorder-to-code platform

    • Infrastructure and backend systems

     

    What we're looking for

    We're looking for hands-on builders eager to learn from direct customer feedback and quick iteration cycles. You've built products people actually use and know what it's like to solve problems on the fly when software breaks in production.

     

    You should be comfortable with:

    • React, TypeScript, Python

    • SQL and API development

    • AWS or modern cloud infrastructure

    • Building AI products with LLMs, RAG, or agentic systems

     

    You'll have the chance to own more product surface area in one summer than most engineers see in their first year at a big company.
