AI Product Engineering Intern (U.S.A)

About the Internship

We are seeking a graduate-level intern specializing in front-end engineering or full-stack product development to help turn front-end product screens into real working software functionality inside an existing codebase. This role is centered around using Claude Code, Codex, and MCP tools in the terminal to analyze codebases, review designs and backend documentation, create missing front-end documentation, implement features, debug issues, and refine production-ready software. Claude may also be used for backend-related tasks and code reviews where appropriate. This role is about building real product functionality.

Key Responsibilities

• Work 100% inside a Codex + MCP terminal-based workflow for front-end and full-stack implementation.
• Use Claude as needed for backend-related work and code review workflows.
• Translate front-end screens and product requirements into implementation-ready functionality.
• Create any missing front-end documentation based on designs and backend documentation.
• Write and refine user stories for front-end features.
• Define and document acceptance criteria for front-end features.
• Identify and document edge cases, data limitations, backend dependencies, and functional gaps.
• Define empty states, loading states, validation states, and error states.
• Build front-end features and supporting full-stack functionality.
• Review AI-assisted code critically and refine weak implementations.
• Debug product behavior and identify incomplete or broken experiences.
• Think through QA, usability, and functional completeness before marking work done.
• Collaborate with product and engineering leadership on feature execution.
• Use Google Chrome Developer Tools in the MCP server environment to inspect, debug, and validate front-end functionality during implementation and QA review.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• JavaScript / TypeScript
• React, Next.js, or similar front-end frameworks
• Front-end architecture and component-based development
• APIs and backend integration patterns
• Debugging and validating application behavior
• Product-minded front-end implementation
• Terminal-based development workflows

• Comfortable working 100% in the terminal.
• Able to work inside an existing codebase.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving ability.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to spot incomplete requirements, broken states, weak implementations, and UX or logic gaps before a feature is considered complete.

Preferred Qualifications

• Full-stack product development.
• Working inside existing production codebases.
• Front-end QA or product QA thinking.
• Writing implementation documentation before development begins.
• Identifying API and data constraints that affect front-end behavior.
