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.

Responsibilities

• 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

Qualifications

• Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Management Information Systems, Mathematics, Engineering, Cognitive Science, or a related field

• Solid programming fundamentals, and comfort reading and writing code

• A genuine interest in agentic AI and some hands-on exposure to LLMs - prompting, tool and function calling, or building against an LLM API

• Working understanding of APIs (REST/JSON) and how software systems integrate

• Clear written communication and the ability to document your work

• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

• This role requires full-time in-office presence (40 hours/week) based at our headquarters in Austin, TX, from August through December
