The Role:

As a Forward-Deployed Engineer Intern, you turn the hardest enterprise integration problems into production-grade systems on our agentic platform. You’ll take ambiguous, real-world requirements; messy APIs; undocumented systems; and edge cases nobody anticipated and reason from first principles to ship production-grade integrations.

You’re a curious, hands-on builder with a customer-first mindset and a real passion for AI already on the frontier of agentic tooling and vibe coding and eager to point that energy at real customer problems. You think like a solutions engineer: the goal isn’t to build; it’s to solve. Mostly delivery, with time as the technical engine behind our highest-stakes POCs — and the patterns you uncover shape the platform itself.

Team: Small, high-calibre technical team working directly with architects, product, and founders.Building: Agentic AI workflows, connectors, and high-throughput integration pipelines.You’ll work with integration leaders and engineering teams at high-growth SaaS companies and Fortune 500 enterprises.

Key Responsibilities:

Solve real-world integration problems across APIs, enterprise systems, and third-party applications.Build AI-powered and agentic workflows using LLMs, tool calling, and orchestration.Develop and debug integrations, data transformations, and automation workflows.Work with engineering and customer-facing teams to understand requirements and build technical solutions.Support customer POCs and deployments by building, testing, and validating integrations.Identify recurring customer problems and help turn them into reusable product capabilities.Document integration patterns, technical learnings, and solutions for future use.Work closely with founders, engineers, architects, and product teams to improve the Refold platform.Experiment with new AI tools and technologies to solve problems faster and more effectively.

Required Skills & Abilities:

Strong fundamentals in software engineering and computer science.Hands-on proficiency in Python and/or JavaScript/TypeScript.A solid understanding of APIs, HTTP, JSON, authentication, and data transformation.Curiosity about how systems work under the hood.The ability to take an ambiguous problem and break it into smaller, solvable pieces.A willingness to read documentation, experiment, debug, and figure things out independently.Strong problem-solving and debugging skills.Good communication skills and the ability to explain technical problems clearly.A bias towards building and shipping, rather than endlessly planning.

Nice to Have:

Built projects involving LLMs, AI agents, RAG, tool calling, or AI automation.Experience with APIs or integrating multiple services.Familiarity with REST APIs, webhooks, OAuth, SDKs, databases, or message queues.Experience with Node.js, TypeScript, FastAPI, Flask, or similar frameworks.Exposure to cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.Familiarity with Docker or containerised applications.Experience with automation platforms such as Zapier, Workato, Make, n8n, or similar tools.Experience working with systems such as Salesforce, SAP, Workday, NetSuite, ServiceNow, or other enterprise software.Experience at a startup, hackathon, open-source project, or developer community.A portfolio of projects, GitHub repositories, or side projects that demonstrate your ability to build.
