Job Description

We have a pipeline of AI and automation opportunities. Now we’re looking for someone who can help bring them to life.

This is a remote internship within approved U.S. locations. Candidates must be physically located in the United States while performing internship duties and must have valid authorization to work in the United States before beginning employment.

Work performed outside the United States is not supported for this position.

Your work will focus on improving business processes through solutions built within Atrium’s approved Microsoft and Claude environments. You’ll start with a prioritized project, understand the business need, build and test a solution, and document your work so others can use and maintain it.

This is a hands-on building role—not an assignment to spend a semester writing about what AI might do someday.

What you’ll do

• Review existing process documentation and workflow recommendations, including those captured through Scribe.
• Work with your supervisor to select and scope an initial automation or AI-enabled project.
• Translate business needs into practical workflows, applications, or tools.
• Build solutions using approved technologies such as Microsoft Power Automate, Microsoft Copilot, and Claude Code.
• Explore connections between systems using APIs or other approved integration methods.
• Test functionality, troubleshoot issues, and refine solutions based on stakeholder feedback.
• Document your approach, configuration, testing, limitations, and maintenance needs.
• Demonstrate progress and contribute to a final project presentation and handoff.

What you’ll bring

We’re looking for a current student with demonstrated technical ability and an interest in applying AI and automation to real business problems.

You should be able to show:

• Hands-on building experience. You’ve completed an automation, application, integration, or AI-enabled project and can explain your contribution.
• AI fluency. You use AI tools thoughtfully to build, troubleshoot, and improve solutions—not just generate answers.
• Process thinking. You can break a workflow into steps and identify opportunities to simplify or automate it.
• Technical problem-solving. You’re comfortable experimenting, diagnosing issues, and testing whether a solution works.
• Clear communication. You can explain technical work to people who may not share your technical background.
• Ownership and follow-through. You can manage a defined assignment, communicate blockers, and leave useful documentation behind.
• Sound judgment. You’re willing to follow company requirements for data handling, system access, and approved tools.

You do not need prior corporate employment experience. Coursework, personal projects, hackathons, research, and student-organization projects can all demonstrate your abilities.

Helpful technical experience

Experience with some of the following would be valuable; you do not need to check every box:

• Claude Code or comparable AI-assisted development tools.
• Microsoft Power Automate and Microsoft Copilot.
• Workflow automation platforms such as n8n or Make.
• APIs and connecting applications or services.
• Model Context Protocol (MCP).
• Data tools such as SQL or Snowflake.

Strong experience with n8n, Make, or another automation platform can be relevant even if you have not yet worked extensively in Power Automate.

Hospitality experience is welcome but not required. We’re interested in how you think, what you can build, and the perspective you bring.

What success looks like

At the beginning of the internship, you and your supervisor will agree on a project scope, milestones, and expected deliverables.

Depending on the project’s complexity, your final work may include:

• A clearly defined business problem and proposed solution.
• A documented proof of concept.
• A working prototype or pilot.
• Testing results and an explanation of limitations.
• A demonstration for relevant stakeholders.
• Documentation and a handoff that allows the team to continue the work.

The goal is useful, well-tested progress—not a long list of unfinished experiments.

What you’ll gain

• Experience applying AI and automation to real business workflows.
• Collaboration with technology and business stakeholders.
• Practice moving from a business problem to a tested solution.
• Feedback on your technical work, communication, and documentation.
• A structured internship with clear expectations and review points.

Academic-credit requirements can be discussed during the selection process.

What to share when applying

Please submit:

• Your résumé.
• A brief description of one or two projects you’ve completed.
• A link, screenshot, short demonstration, or other examples of your work, if available.
• Your availability including potential start date and typical weekly hours.

For each project, tell us:

• What problem were you trying to solve?
• What tools did you use?
• What did you personally build?
• How did you test it?
• What worked, and what would you improve?

A full portfolio is not required. One well-explained project is more valuable than a long list of tools.

Please share only material you are authorized to disclose. Do not include confidential information, credentials, or proprietary code from another organization.

Selection process

Selected candidates will participate in a panel conversation led by the internship supervisor and relevant team members. Be prepared to walk through a completed project, explain your decisions, and discuss how you approach unfamiliar problems.
