Job Description & Key Responsibilities
Thinkly AI is an emerging startup that focuses on building AIβpowered voice agents and enterprise automation solutions. The company primarily serves the realβestate sector, helping clients automate customer interactions, reduce manual workload, and improve conversion rates through conversational AI. As a lean, technologyβdriven organization, Thinkly AI encourages rapid experimentation, close collaboration with enterprise customers, and early exposure to productionβgrade AI systems. Interns get to work sideβbyβside with senior engineers, product managers, and client success teams, gaining a realistic view of how AI products move from prototype to live deployment.
The Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) Intern role is designed for students or recent graduates who love to blend software engineering with AI application development. You will act as a technical bridge between the product team and realβworld customers, ensuring that AI voice agents perform reliably in production environments. Your dayβtoβday activities will involve debugging live systems, crafting prompt templates, building quick demos for prospects, and iterating on product features based on direct client feedback. This handsβon exposure to endβtoβend AI workflows makes the internship uniquely valuable for anyone aspiring to become an AI engineer or a solutions architect.
**Key Responsibilities**
1. Debug and optimise AI voice agents running in production, identifying latency or accuracy issues.
2. Build and deploy small product features, bugβfixes, and enhancements using Python and modern web frameworks.
3. Create interactive demos and proofβofβconcept solutions for prospective enterprise clients.
4. Design, test, and refine prompts for large language models to improve conversational quality.
5. Investigate production incidents, document rootβcause analyses, and propose preventive measures.
6. Collaborate with engineering, product, and clientβfacing teams to translate business requirements into technical specifications.
7. Support the deployment pipeline, including CI/CD configuration and environment monitoring.
8. Participate in code reviews, contribute to internal tooling, and maintain documentation.
9. Stay updated with the latest LLM capabilities, vectorβdatabase technologies, and AI orchestration frameworks.
10. Assist in preparing technical presentations and client workshops.
**Tech Stack**: Python, FastAPI, Next.js, PostgreSQL, Vector databases (e.g., Pinecone), N8N workflow automation, OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini APIs, LangChain/LlamaIndex, Git, Docker.
**Growth Path**: Successful interns may receive a fullβtime offer as a Junior AI Engineer, with clear progression to Senior Engineer, Solutions Architect, or Product Lead roles as the company scales.
**Why Join Thinkly AI?** You will gain realβworld experience building production AI systems, learn prompt engineering from experts, and interact directly with enterprise customers. The remote setup offers flexibility while still providing mentorship and a collaborative culture typical of highβgrowth startups. This internship is a fastβtrack to a career in generative AI, voice automation, and enterprise software development.
