Software Engineering Intern - Agents & FE

About this Role As a Software Engineering Intern at Headstarter, you are a full-stack generalist, meaning you’ll get a chance to work across the entire stack (frontend, backend, AI infrastructure, classic ML, devops). Given the compound nature of our product, we also tend to form short-lived teams around specific projects. About Headstarter Nearly all software engineering jobs will be impacted by AI during our lifetimes. At the same time, being able to speak, sell and code brilliantly is quickly becoming a must-have for employers. There has never been a better time to disrupt cs education from its core.

We are starting with an “accelerator” that spans 4-months and an AI recruiter that is working for over 30 startups hire for 100+ engineering roles. Ultimately, our mission is to give future tech leaders direction, standardization, consistency and transparency.
