AI Innovations Intern

The Role

We're looking for an AI Innovation Intern to help every person at SCALIS work smarter. This is an internal-facing role — your job is to identify where our team loses time and build AI-powered tools, workflows, and automations that get those hours back. Think of yourself as an AI productivity partner embedded in the company.

This is not a "sit in on meetings" internship. You'll talk directly to teammates across engineering, sales, and operations, diagnose their biggest friction points, and ship solutions. Some will be lightweight prompt workflows. Some will be full internal tools. All of it will have immediate, visible impact on the people you work alongside every day.

What You'll Do

• Interview teammates across departments to understand where manual, repetitive, or slow work is happening
• Build and deploy internal AI tools, automations, and prompt workflows using LLMs (e.g. Claude, GPT-4) and no-code/low-code platforms
• Create AI-assisted templates and processes for tasks like writing, research, outreach, reporting, and QA
• Prototype and iterate quickly — test with real users on the team, gather feedback, and improve
• Document and train teammates on the tools you build so adoption actually sticks
• Proactively spot new opportunities as the company grows and needs change

What We're Looking For

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Information Systems, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related field
• Hands-on experience building with LLMs — prompt engineering, API integrations, or AI-powered workflows
• Comfort working across tools like Zapier, Make, Notion, or similar platforms to automate workflows
• Strong communication skills — you'll be spending as much time listening to teammates as you will coding
• Self-starter mindset: you can identify a problem, scope a solution, and ship it without hand-holding

Bonus Points

• Experience with Python scripting or lightweight backend development
• Familiarity with productivity tools (Slack, Linear, Notion, etc.) and how to extend them with AI
• Prior experience building internal tools or ops automation at a startup
• Interest in HR tech, recruiting workflows, or the future of work

What You'll Get

• Immediate, visible impact — teammates will use what you build every single day
• Direct access to founders and senior team members who are deeply bought into AI-first ways of working
• A sandbox to experiment: we'll give you the tools, accounts, and latitude to try things
• Flexible, hybrid schedule that works around your classes
• A front-row seat to how a fast-moving AI startup actually operates
• Competitive hourly compensation
