About SCALIS

SCALIS is building the future of hiring. As the world's first end-to-end agentic AI recruiting platform, we're on a mission to make hiring smarter, faster, and more human — all at once. Our platform combines a powerful Applicant Tracking System (ATS) with a dynamic job board, powered by AI that learns from every interaction to surface better candidates, reduce time-to-hire, and eliminate the manual grunt work that bogs down recruiting teams.

The Role

• 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

• 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
