1 day ago
Job description
The Information Technology and Applications (ITA) department is responsible for managing Zoox's technology infrastructure, business applications, and information systems that enable the company's operations across all functions. ITA oversees critical systems including IT infrastructure, business applications, HRIS platforms, and information security. As Zoox scales its autonomous vehicle operations, ITA plays a vital role in ensuring the technology backbone supports both our R&D innovation and commercial service delivery.
We are looking for a forward-thinking AI Application Developer Intern to join our IT Innovation team. Unlike traditional coding roles, this position focuses on the rapid prototyping and deployment of internal business tools by leveraging state-of-the-art AI code generation technology (e.g., Claude 3.5 Sonnet / Claude Code).
Your mission is to bridge the gap between complex business needs in Finance, HR, and Legal and functional AI-powered solutions. You will be at the forefront of "Agentic Workflows," using AI to write, debug, and deploy the very tools that will drive our company's efficiency.
Responsibilities- AI-Driven Development: Utilize Claude and other LLMs to generate high-quality code, boilerplate, and complex logic for internal web applications and automation scripts.
- Cross-Functional Prototyping: Work with the CIO and Partner with stakeholders in Finance, HR, Procurement, and Legal to identify manual bottlenecks and design AI solutions (e.g., automated contract review, spend analysis dashboards, or HR FAQ bots).
- Prompt Engineering & Orchestration: Design sophisticated system prompts and utilize frameworks like LangChain or LlamaIndex to build Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) tools.
- Rapid Integration: Connect AI outputs with existing enterprise APIs and data sources
- Currently working towards a B.S., M.S., Ph.D., or advanced degree in a relevant engineering program
- Good academic standing
- Able to commit to a 12-week internship beginning in May or June of 2026.
- At least one previous industry internship, co-op, or project completed in a relevant area
- Ability to relocate to the Bay Area, California for the duration of the internship
- Interns at Zoox may not use any proprietary information they are working on as part of their thesis, any published work with their university, or to be distributed to anyone outside of Zoox
- AI Literacy: Proficiency in using LLMs for code generation (Claude, GitHub Copilot, etc.). You should know how to "talk to the code" to iterate quickly.
- Foundational Programming: Strong grasp of Python or JavaScript/TypeScript. You must be able to read, audit, and fix the code the AI generates.
- Web Frameworks: Familiarity with modern stacks like React, , or Streamlit for building quick front-end interfaces.
- Data Basics: Understanding of SQL and how to handle structured/unstructured data (JSON, CSV, PDFs).
- Curiosity: A "builder" mindset—you enjoy taking a vague business problem and turning it into a working demo in days, not months.
- Interest in the autonomous vehicle industry
Compensation
The monthly salary range for this position is $5,500 to $7,500. Compensation will vary based on geographic location and level of education. Additional benefits may include medical insurance, and a housing stipend (relocation assistance will be offered based on eligibility).
