Job Overview

We are seeking an Enterprise Technology Intern to help bring AI and Automation to Saronic’s enterprise software. You will work directly with our team of business system analysts and developers to design, build, and ship AI agents, automations, and the frameworks that make our entire enterprise technology organization faster. You will learn how AI and production business systems come together at a rapidly growing defense technology company.

What You’ll Do

• Build copilots, automation, and internal tooling that increase software delivery efficiency across Enterprise Technology - accelerating how work is specified, built, tested, documented, and shipped
• Advance spec-driven development by helping the team write clear, structured specifications - intent, requirements, and acceptance criteria - that both engineers and AI agents build from to validate generated implementation
• Develop reusable agent skills and tools for improved capabilities and scalability across the organization
• Connect agents to enterprise tools, data, and actions through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to build and wire servers and connectors enabling AI to operate across business workflows
• Drive AI adoption and productivity across Saronic by identifying high-value use cases, prototyping agents and copilots that remove manual work, and helping teams put them into daily use
• Help make enterprise AI and automation safe and reliable by establishing the guardrails production needs - evaluations, monitoring, logging and observability, error handling, access controls, and responsible data handling - appropriate to a defense technology environment

What You’ll Need

• Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Management Information Systems, Mathematics, Engineering, Cognitive Science, or a related field with an interest in agentic AI, and eager to make an impact in the defense technology industry
• Strong fundamentals in computer science (data structures, algorithms, systems)
• Familiarity with at least one backend programming language (Python, Java, or similar)
• Hands-on experience using agentic coding tools like Claude Code or Codex to build, automate, or accelerate work
• Experience with agentic design patterns (tools, human-in-the-loop, multi-agent systems, observability)
• This role requires full-time in-office presence (40 hours/week) at our headquarters in Austin, TX. Open to Spring 2027 and/or Summer 2027 (May through August 2027)

Nice to Have

• Experience with modern cloud technologies (APIs, microservices, containers) and familiarity with parts of our stack (AWS, Terraform, React, Python, OAuth)
• Exposure to enterprise technology systems such as NetSuite, Salesforce, Slack, or similar business platforms
• Interest in or exposure to working in regulated or security-conscious environments, such as defense or government

Physical Demands
