AI Engineering Intern

This is a paid internship for a software engineering student who wants to learn a real skill through apprenticeship. You will work underneath tenured full-stack engineers and build expertise in web scraping and AI backends. You will build product from your first weeks and grow fast if you push.

What you'll own

• Learn how the team builds and ships Actors on the Apify platform.
• Build and ship your own Actors using TypeScript, Node.js, and modern AI coding tools.
• Contribute to the production codebases the team is actively building.
• Build AI backends on top of the data the Actors produce.
• Help keep existing Actors healthy by watching uptime, run success, and errors.
• Track usage and performance metrics so the team can see what is working and what is not.

• You are a software engineering student moving fast through the fundamentals.
• You have strong TypeScript skills. This is the number one thing the team looks for.
• You are comfortable with Node.js, React or Astro, and Prisma or Postgres.
• You are comfortable with GitHub and basic server work such as SSH and Ubuntu.
• You already use AI coding tools like Codex and Claude Code as part of how you build every day.
• You love building. You have shipped your own MVPs and products on your own.
• You are proactive and take ownership. You move fast, ask when you are stuck, and push work forward without being told.
• You communicate in English and Spanish, since the team works across both.

Here is what to expect after you apply

1. You will get an email from Puente with a short online assessment and a quick grammar check.

This is a paid internship at $350 USD/month as an independent contractor. You will work Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM CT (40 hours/week), fully remote from Latin America. You will grow fast if you push, with real ownership of production Actors and AI backends from your first weeks.
