About the Team

The Integration Platforms team develops technology to support our ever\-expanding customer fleet from prototype to production. We are at an inflection point — adopting an AI\-first strategy to fundamentally transform how our tools are built, maintained, and scaled. A member of this team will build AI\-powered technology that interfaces with our vehicles and accelerates engineering workflows across the organization.

Examples of products we've shipped and are actively evolving include:

• A tool to interact with any vehicle remotely, collecting status and updating software/configurations
• A tool to analyze trillions of data points for anomalies
• A tool to allow engineers to dynamically query the fleet and collect real\-time responses to questions like "let me see data from a random sample of 100 cars currently driving at least 60 MPH with the windows down and the AC on"
• A technology to live stream data off any vehicle, at anytime, anywhere in the world
• A tool that automatically aggregates information from many sources surrounding an event to build a contextual timeline
• AI agents that automate the software release cycle, feedback triage, and fleet anomaly detection
• MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that make our tools accessible to AI\-powered development workflows
• A centralized AI platform enabling engineers across the organization to contribute to our tools using AI\-assisted development

**What You'll Do*** Help build and orchestrate AI agents and related tooling end to end

• Develop and maintain back\-end services and frameworks
• Contribute to database design, product feature design, data modeling, and caching architecture
• Support DevOps work (builds, deployments, CI/CD, and infrastructure)
• Apply product security practices across the stack
• Write and run validation (tests, quality checks, and reliability work)
• Work across multiple product domains with a focus on AI\-powered tooling

**What You'll Bring*** Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field with graduation between May 2027 – May 2028

• Proficient in Go and Python, with hands\-on experience building full\-stack applications using web frameworks
• Experience with backend infrastructure: relational databases, containerization, workflow orchestration, and stream processing/messaging systems
• Experience or strong interest in building LLM\-powered applications, with understanding of AI agent architectures and tool\-use patterns such as MCP and function calling
• Preferred exposure to large\-scale data processing/querying and analytics
• Strong communicator and collaborator who thrives in a fast\-paced environment juggling multiple concurrent projects
