About the Role
Work with senior engineers and fellow interns to build AI tooling, API integrations, and proof-of-concept applications for Xsolla. The role emphasizes shipping production-facing work, using agentic coding tools, sharing weekly demos, and learning through mentorship.
Requirements
- Genuine passion for building, demonstrated through side projects, hackathon entries, open-source contributions, or self-directed work
- Real AI fluency using Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar agentic coding tools
- Ability to explain how AI was used and how the result was confirmed to work
- Bias toward action and willingness to start building before asking for a specification
- Comfort developing modern full-stack solutions
- Current undergraduate student, graduate student, or recent graduate in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related program
Responsibilities
- Partner and collaborate with senior engineers to identify where AI tooling and integrations can remove friction, and build the fix
- Build applications and integrations on top of Xsolla's APIs and SDKs
- Ship work that reaches real users, whether internal tools or customer-facing integrations
- Use agentic coding tools such as Claude Code or Cursor as the default way of working
- Share weekly lightning-talk demos showing how AI was used to solve a problem
- Work with minimal process, using context, a problem, and a mentor to figure out the rest
- Learn from and collaborate with senior engineers and fellow interns
Hiring Process
No take-home assignments or formal problem sets. Applicants should provide a link to a GitHub profile, deployed project, or other work they have built, plus a 2–3 sentence written answer or a 2-minute video/Loom explaining something difficult they recently built and why they built it. The role also includes a background check covering criminal history, employment verification, and education verification.
