TL;DR · AI Systems Software Engineering Intern

As an AI Systems Software Engineering Intern – Summer 2027, you will join a team of compiler and AI engineers to apply machine learning and performance engineering to developer tools. Your daily responsibilities include building AI-agent workflows that interact with compilers, benchmarks, and engineering systems to identify optimization opportunities. You will develop tools for data collection, run experiments, and prototype improvements to compiler flows and experimentation systems. The role requires proficiency in Python, C, and C++, along with a strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and software engineering. You will explore data-driven approaches for performance prediction and workflow automation. Key domain context involves integrating AI agents with compiler infrastructure to measure correctness, runtime performance, and compile time across representative workloads.

What you'll do

  • Build AI-agent workflows that interact with code, compilers, benchmarks, and performance tools.
  • Develop tools for agents to collect data, run experiments, and identify optimization opportunities.
  • Explore data-driven approaches for compiler optimization, performance prediction, and workflow automation.
  • Build reliable interfaces between AI agents and compiler or developer-tool infrastructure.
  • Prototype improvements to compiler flows, optimization tools, and experimentation systems.
  • Measure correctness, runtime performance, compile time, and other relevant outcomes.
  • Document the design, experiments, results, limitations, and next steps for all projects.

What we're looking for

  • Pursuing a BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Strong programming skills in Python, C, C++, or a similar language.
  • Solid foundations in data structures, algorithms, software engineering, and quantitative problem solving.
  • Coursework, research, or project experience in AI, machine learning, AI agents, compilers, programming languages, systems, performance engineering, optimization, or developer tools.
  • Ability to design experiments, analyze results, investigate technical problems, and communicate findings clearly.
  • Experience building AI agents, LLM applications, evaluation systems, coding workflows, or developer tools (preferred).
  • Experience with LLVM, MLIR, compiler optimization passes, code generation, domain-specific languages, or compiler infrastructure (preferred).
  • Familiarity with GPU architecture, CUDA, GPU programming, or performance optimization (preferred).
