Software Engineering Intern

Ask Arthur
Email

Spring/Summer Internship *Start and termination dates are flexible

Ask Arthur is an AI voice assistant that answers phone calls for restaurants, takes orders, and sends them directly into the restaurant’s Point-of-Sale system. It's like OpenAI meets Uber Eats, built on top of cutting-edge technologies like Vapi, Retell, OpenAI, Stripe and more.

The software engineering intern will work closely with the founders (ex-Stripe engineer, serial founder with a recent acquisition) and the dev team assisting in app development, product management, and data analytics. The intern will get a front row seat in the worlds of Agile development, fundraising, and sales while being asked to develop features to help grow the company.

 

The software engineering intern must be able to devote 15 - 20 hours per week in our NYC/Toronto offices or work remotely. 

 

Things interns may work on include:

  • Building and maintaining Django models and APIs for menu management, ordering, and payments
  • Ingesting and normalizing real-world menu data to be consumed by AI assistants
  • Improving agent function behavior by structuring backend outputs (e.g. guiding upsell logic, variants, and multilingual behavior)
  • Building out admin dashboard
  • Working on real-time order ingestion and dispatching logic (to POS and reservations platforms)
  • Writing clean, testable Python code and participating in design decisions

 

The ideal candidate would possess:

  • Strong understanding of client-server applications and RESTful APIs
  • Backend Engineers: Proficiency in Python and experience with AI tools
  • Frontend Engineers: Proficiency in React and React Native
  • Experience working with a large existing codebase and contributing to the full software development life cycle
  • Thorough knowledge of SQL and NoSQL database technologies
  • Understanding of Agile development practices
  • Familiarity with BDD testing and unit testing
  • Ability to analyze and create actionable stories from large data sets
  • Ability to work autonomously
  • Familiarity with A/B testing
  • BS/MS in Computer Science/Software Engineering or equivalent

Why join us

  • Real-world impact: restaurants are already using the system
  • Work with cutting-edge LLM + voice tech
  • Autonomy and ownership: you'll write code that ships to production
  • Get mentored by an experienced engineer/founder and leave with a strong project portfolio
  • Option to extend into a longer-term role or full-time offer
