Internship role to develop AI kernels and agentic tools for infrastructure acceleration in hardware engineering workflows.

is building hardware for frontier intelligence. We co-design chips, racks, software, and manufacturing to deliver best-in-class throughput and latency across both prefill and decode workloads. Our first products are heavily focused on inference. Backed by hundreds of millions from top-tier investors and staffed by leading engineers, is redefining the infrastructure layer for the fastest growing industry in history.

Embed with our kernels team to find high-leverage bottlenecks and help turn them into tools engineers use every day.
Build and deploy LLM agents wired into our engineering workflows via tool-calling and MCP.
Help build execution environments where agents can verify their own work, with sandboxed access to simulators, compilers, profilers, and real hardware.
Ship internal products end to end, including the interfaces, data pipelines, and infrastructure behind them.
Design evals and track adoption to measure which tools are working and which aren’t.
Support special projects with the founders across the company.

Progress towards a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD degree in computer science, computer engineering, or a related field
Strong software engineering fundamentals and a record of shipping projects other people use
Built agents for multi-step tasks beyond calling an API: tool design, context management, evals, and failure analysis
Heavy use of coding agents, including reading their transcripts and changing the system when an agent is confidently wrong
High agency in unfamiliar domains, product sense, and extreme attention to detail

We are seeking talented Spring ‘27 and Summer ‘27 IA Research Engineer (Kernels) interns to build the agents that accelerate how produces frontier tokens. You will embed with our kernels team and work alongside our founders on agentic harnesses, tools, and evals that let agents do long-running engineering work people actually rely on. This role is for builders who thrive on ambiguity, have real product sense, and want to own problems end to end.
Chip development, GPU kernels, hardware, or manufacturing
Infrastructure, data engineering, or DevOps
Fine-tuning, RAG over technical data, or multi-agent orchestration
Hackathons, startups, or side projects with real users
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every qualification.
12-week paid internship
Generous housing support for those relocating
Daily lunch and dinner in our office
Based at our office in San Jose, CA
Direct mentorship from industry leaders and world-class engineers
Opportunity to work on one of the most important problems of our time

believes in the Bitter Lesson. We are the first inference-focused frontier AI system. Our addressable market is the entirety of inference, unlike many of our competitors.
We are a fully in-person team in San Jose (Santana Row), and greatly value engineering skills. We do not have boundaries between engineering and research, and we expect all of our technical staff to contribute to both and work across disciplines as needed.
