Build real AI solutions.
Summer Internship Program
- Duration
- 8 weeks
- Starts
- 13 Jul
- Fee
- $50
What to expect
Engineering rigor meets AI
AI as a tool, not a crutch
You'll learn how to actually use LLMs, RAG, agents, and ML — to design systems, evaluate trade-offs, write tests, and ship features that hold up in production.
Real teams, real rituals
You'll be assigned to a small squad with a mentor. Standups, sprint planning, PR reviews, retros — the workflow you'll use the rest of your career.
Projects with real users
No throwaway tutorials. You'll contribute to a brief from a real client or internal product, scoped to ship inside the cohort.
Tracks
Pick a lane. Ship something real.
Applied AI
LLM apps, RAG pipelines, eval harnesses, prompt + tool design.
AI-Augmented Web
Full-stack products that put AI features in users' hands.
Data & OCR
Pipelines, document understanding, structured extraction.
Data Analysis
From messy data to dashboards and decision-grade insight.
ML Systems
Training, fine-tuning, deploying small models that earn their keep.
Product Engineering
Scope, build, ship — own a slice of a real product.
Teamwork
You'll learn to ship with people, not just code.
Every intern joins a cross-functional squad of 4–5 people for the full eight weeks. You'll plan sprints together, divide work, review each other's PRs, and present demos every Friday. By the end, you'll know what good collaboration actually feels like — and you'll have teammates for life.
- Weekly sprint planning + Friday demos
- Pair programming with mentors
- Async-first communication (Slack, Linear, GitHub)
- End-of-cohort showcase to real stakeholders
Who you are
Curious. Coachable. A builder.
You don't need to be the best in your class — you need to be the kind of person who keeps going when things break, asks better questions next time, and shows up for your team.
- Student or recent graduate in CS, Software Engineering, IT, IS, MIS, or a related field
- Comfortable in at least one programming language beyond HTML/CSS
- Conversational in English (most of our work happens in writing)
- Genuinely curious about AI — and skeptical enough to test what it claims
- Willing to commit ~25 hours per week for 8 weeks
What's in it for you
More than a line on your CV.
Real shipped work
A project in your portfolio that actually runs in production.
Senior mentorship
Direct, weekly 1:1s with Frontdreams engineers.
Certificate + reference
Performance-based letter of recommendation on completion.
Hiring pipeline
Top interns are first in line for paid roles at Frontdreams.
Program fee
$50 — one-time
The fee covers tooling, mentorship time, and your project infrastructure for the full cohort. It also keeps applicants serious — we'd rather have 30 committed builders than 300 tire-kickers. Note: the fee does not include cloud credits.
- 8 weeks of structured curriculum + project work
- Weekly 1:1 mentorship with a senior engineer
- Access to internal tooling and squad infrastructure
- Certificate of completion + reference on request
- Lifetime access to the Frontdreams alumni community
Applications close 30 June 2026
