As a Solutions Engineering Intern, you'll work on coding tasks, client demonstrations, debugging, and collaboration with engineers while learning about ML workflows and cloud tools.
📍 Remote | U.S. Citizens Only | Paid Internship
Who is this 4 month internship for? For recent CS grads and current CS students who can start part-time during university and ramping up to full-time in the 2025 summer term!
Calling all sharp, curious CS students who love solving real coding problems and are excited about the data and AI sector.You’ll work on the exact same technical and solution delivery challenges as our full-time engineers — just with mentorship and space to grow!
🧠 Who We Are
Shakudo helps companies level up their AI and data infrastructure without wasting time on complex tooling. Think: fully managed, open-source and enterprise tech stacks — but fast, flexible, and built for scale. Our customers are data scientists, ML engineers, and business leaders — and we help them solve real-world challenges fast.
🛠️ What You’ll Do
As a Solutions Engineering Intern, you’ll:
- Write code, take on real client demos, tools, and POCs.- Debug, prototype, and help design solutions using Python, SQL, and modern cloud tools.
- Actively present in client meetings and see how technical problems get solved in the wild.
- Work closely with senior engineers and technical sales to learn the full lifecycle of solution design.
- Support customers directly and learn how to act as a technical point of contact — from initial discovery through solution delivery.
- Figure out and ramp up on ML workflows, containerization (Docker, K8s), and modern infra — fast.
🔍 What We’re Looking For
Must-haves:
- U.S. citizenship (client requirement).
- Actively enrolled or recently graduated in a CS, EECS, or related technical degree program (junior, senior, or recent grad, but we are open to promising sophomores with strong coding skills!)
- Strong Python and JavaScript skills— you should be comfortable reading and working with both.
- You’ve solved real problems — used platforms like LeetCode, HackerRank, or done algo-heavy coursework.
- You can talk through your code and explain how it works.
Nice-to-haves:
- Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, etc.
- You’ve built your own scraper, bot, dashboard, internal tool, etc.
- You've done cool side projects (portfolio > GPA)
- You’ve ever built a scraper, bot, dashboard, model, or tool and actually used it
💡 Why You’ll Love It
- Get real exposure to AI, cloud, and technical sales — not just sit in on meetings; you get to speak directly with end-clients and figure out solutions.
- Your work directly helps customers.
- Learn how real-world technical solutions are scoped, designed, implemented, and handed off to support teams — across the full lifecycle.
- Lean team in an advanced, venture backed data and AI company = mentorship, ownership, visibility, and growth.
If it’s a fit, we’ll follow up with a coding assessment on Hackerrank, and a brief code evaluation.
