We are hiring one AI Impact Fellow for Summer 2026.
Role Overview

You will:
- Audit workflows for AI application opportunities

- Hands-on experience with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
- Experience building applied AI projects or prototypes
- Familiarity with embeddings, vector search, or orchestration frameworks
- Strong problem-solving and communication skills
You should be comfortable operating independently and explaining technical ideas to non-technical stakeholders.
