AI-First Engineering Intern
You'll dive straight into building rather than shadowing. Working closely with senior engineers, you'll partner to identify where AI tooling and integrations can remove friction, then build the fix yourself. You'll build applications and integrations on top of Xsolla's APIs and SDKs that demonstrate to internal teams how to move faster using AI-assisted development. Everything you build is expected to reach real users, whether that's an internal tool adopted by an engineering team or a customer-facing integration, not a throwaway exercise. You'll use agentic coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or similar as your default way of working. Each week you'll join lightning-talk demos to share how you used AI to solve something real, and you'll operate with minimal process, given context, a problem, and a mentor, and figuring the rest out yourself. You'll also learn from and collaborate with senior engineers who mentor you on production-grade practices, and with fellow interns across markets you'll trade ideas and code with.
Responsibilities
- Partner and collaborate with senior engineers to identify where AI tooling and integrations can remove friction, and build the fix
- Build applications and integrations on top of Xsolla's APIs and SDKs
- Ship work that reaches real users, whether internal tools or customer-facing integrations
- Use agentic coding tools such as Claude Code or Cursor as the default way of working
- Share weekly lightning-talk demos showing how AI was used to solve a problem
- Work with minimal process, using context, a problem, and a mentor to figure out the rest
- Learn from and collaborate with senior engineers and fellow interns across markets
Requirements
- Genuine passion for building, with side projects, hackathon entries, open-source contributions, or self-directed work
- Real AI fluency using tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar agentic coding tools to build something
- Ability to explain how AI was used and how the result was confirmed to work
- Bias toward action, starting to build before asking for a spec
- Comfort with developing modern full-stack solutions
- Current undergraduate student, graduate student, or recent graduate of a Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related program
