Forward Deployed Engineer Intern

Description:

As a Forward Deployed Engineer Intern, you will design and deliver real-world solutions across a diverse range of domains, from e-commerce platforms to AI-powered tools and autonomous workflows. You will build full-stack products, connect automation platforms, and co-create user experiences with designers and researchers.

From creating an AI agent that automates complex workflows to prototyping a digital storefront with Shopify, or launching a web app powered by GPT and Supabase, you will move from insight to impact in weeks, not months.

This is a 4- or 8-month internship structured to accommodate co-op programs and academic schedules. Depending on performance, team fit, and business circumstances, there is a genuine possibility of extension or transition to a full-time role at the conclusion of the term.

Key Responsibilities

• Build, test, and deploy full-stack applications using React, Supabase, Vercel, and modern frameworks

• Deliver functional web and app solutions, e-commerce flows, and interactive digital tools

• Design agentic workflows and embed AI agents where useful, leveraging GPT-4, Claude, LangChain, or similar frameworks

• Develop and orchestrate automation pipelines using Zapier, n8n, Lovable, Flowise, and custom APIs

• Integrate third-party tools (e.g., Stripe, Shopify, Replit, CRMs) into seamless user experiences

• Translate business needs and user insights into clear, intuitive, and scalable products through collaboration with designers, researchers, and stakeholders

• Ensure scalability, performance, and security standards are met in all deployments

Core Competencies

• Strong foundation in modern full-stack development, especially with React-based frameworks

• Comfort working across the stack: APIs, front-end UX, database management

• Experience with no-code/low-code tools (e.g., Lovable, Flowise, n8n, Zapier, Replit) to prototype and launch quickly

• Ability to build and integrate automation workflows and AI agents (bonus, not exclusive)

• Experience with commerce platforms (Shopify, Stripe) and digital product flows

• Comfort with experimentation and scrappy iteration in early-stage builds

• Strong communication and client-facing skills, able to align tech with business goals

• Self-starter with a flexible mindset who thrives in uncertain, fast-paced environments

Qualifications

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. Demonstrable experience considered in lieu of a formal degree.

• Proven track record (academic or professional) of delivering functional MVPs and digital platforms

• Understanding of agentic workflows and how to design user-centric, AI-enabled systems

• Familiarity with LLMs, vector databases, or agent frameworks (e.g., LangChain, Pinecone) is a strong bonus

• Experience collaborating in cross-functional teams and navigating ambiguity with ease
