Forward Deployed AI Engineer Intern

Los Angeles, CA | 3 Month Internship | Path to Full Time Warp is building the technology layer for the physical world. We believe logistics technology should be free, highly customizable, and built around the operation instead of forcing the operation to adapt to the software. AI is making software dramatically cheaper and faster to build. We want to use that to give customers technology that adapts to how they actually work. We're looking for a Forward Deployed AI Engineer Intern to help us build that. You'll work directly with customers, understand their operations, build AI powered products around their problems, deploy them, and own what happens after launch. This is a three month internship, but we're hiring with the intention of finding someone who can become a full time engineer at Warp. We want someone with grit, intensity, and an if not me, then who? attitude. Nothing is beneath you. What you'll doYou'll work across engineering, product, operations, and directly with customers. You might: Turn manual workflows running through spreadsheets, email, PDFs, and portals into software.Build AI agents, customer facing products, integrations, and automations.Customize workflows and business rules around how a customer actually operates.Connect Warp into ERPs, WMSs, TMSs, APIs, EDI, and other systems.Ship quickly and put what you build into real customer operations.Onboard users, collect feedback, fix what breaks, and keep improving the product.Take something that works for one customer and help turn it into a product we can deploy across many.You own the lifecycleAt Warp, shipping code isn't the finish line. If you build something for a customer, you own whether they actually use it and whether it works. You stay close to the customer, find the friction, fix the edge cases, and keep improving it. The problem is yours until it's solved. What we're looking forWe're not looking for the intern with the longest resume. We're looking for trajectory. You should be technically strong and comfortable with some combination of: PythonTypeScript or JavaScriptLLMs and agentic systemsAPIs and integrationsFull stack developmentDatabasesClaude Code, Codex, Cursor, or similar toolsMore importantly, you: Move extremely fast.Figure things out instead of waiting for instructions.Care about the outcome, not just your piece of the work.Are comfortable talking directly to customers.Keep going when things break.Don't walk past a problem because it belongs to someone else.Will do the unglamorous work required to make something actually succeed. The environmentWarp is intensely meritocratic. Responsibility isn't determined by experience, tenure, or title. It's earned by what you can own and deliver. If you're exceptional, your scope can grow extremely quickly. You'll get direct feedback, work around people who move fast, and be held to a high standard. If you're looking for a comfortable internship with narrowly defined assignments, this probably isn't the right place. The three monthsWe're not giving you an intern project. We want you doing the real job. Over three months, we want to see whether you can build, ship, work directly with customers, own products after launch, learn incredibly quickly, and earn increasing responsibility. If you can, our goal is for this to turn into a full time engineering role at Warp. Why WarpAI is changing what software should cost and how customizable it can be. We think logistics technology should evolve with it. Instead of selling customers another rigid piece of software, we want to build technology around the way they actually operate and give it to them as part of the Warp network. And what we build doesn't stop at the screen. Warp connects shippers, warehouses, carriers, drivers, trucks, and packages. When our software makes a decision, something moves in the physical world.
