Software Engineering Intern, Summer 2027

Ciao is a small team of engineers. We build AI apps and agents for distributors, manufacturers, contractors and trucking companies. As a Software Engineering Intern, you’ll spend 12 weeks next summer shipping real work with a forward deployed engineer. You’ll work from our San Francisco office.

What you’ll do

• Pair with a forward deployed engineer on a live client project from your first week.
• Own one piece end to end, like the screen a sales rep uses to approve a drafted quote.
• Sit in on a discovery call and see how we decide what to build.
• Ship code that real people use before the summer ends.
• Show the team what you built in your last week.

What we’re looking for

• You’re studying computer science or a related field, or you’ve taught yourself and can show what you built.
• You’ve written real code in Python or TypeScript, for a project, a job or a class.
• You’ve played with LLMs and want to see them used on real work.
• You ask questions, and you finish what you start.

How we hire

• An intro call with Paul Sheridan, our founder and CEO.
• A short working session where you build something small with us.
• Meet the team.
• An offer.

Ciao is an equal opportunity employer.
