## What You’ll Do

- Build copilots, automation, and internal tooling that increase software delivery efficiency across Enterprise Technology - accelerating how work is specified, built, tested, documented, and shipped
- Advance spec-driven development by helping the team write clear, structured specifications - intent, requirements, and acceptance criteria - that both engineers and AI agents build from to validate generated implementation
- Develop reusable agent skills and tools for improved capabilities and scalability across the organization
- Connect agents to enterprise tools, data, and actions through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to build and wire servers and connectors enabling AI to operate across business workflows
- Drive AI adoption and productivity across Saronic by identifying high-value use cases, prototyping agents and copilots that remove manual work, and helping teams put them into daily use
- Help make enterprise AI and automation safe and reliable by establishing the guardrails production needs - evaluations, monitoring, logging and observability, error handling, access controls, and responsible data handling - appropriate to a defense technology environment

## What You’ll Need

- Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Management Information Systems, Mathematics, Engineering, Cognitive Science, or a related field with an interest in agentic AI, and eager to make an impact in the defense technology industry
- Strong fundamentals in computer science (data structures, algorithms, systems)
- Familiarity with at least one backend programming language (Python, Java, or similar)
- Hands-on experience using agentic coding tools like Claude Code or Codex to build, automate, or accelerate work
- Experience with agentic design patterns (tools, human-in-the-loop, multi-agent systems, observability)
- This role requires full-time in-office presence (40 hours/week) at our headquarters in Austin, TX. Open to Spring 2027 and/or Summer 2027 (May through August 2027)

## Nice to Have

- Experience with modern cloud technologies (APIs, microservices, containers) and familiarity with parts of our stack (AWS, Terraform, React, Python, OAuth)
- Exposure to enterprise technology systems such as NetSuite, Salesforce, Slack, or similar business platforms
- Interest in or exposure to working in regulated or security-conscious environments, such as defense or government

Physical Demands
