Software Engineer, Intern

About the role

Abridge is looking for Software Engineering Interns to join the Engineering team for a 3-month internship program in Fall 2026, with the possibility of extension. You'll collaborate with the engineering team to build and ship real-world features that translate cutting-edge language model capabilities into dependable clinical systems. With mentorship and guidance, you'll gain hands-on experience designing, coding, and releasing AI-powered software that makes a meaningful impact on clinicians' workflows.

Responsibilities

• Design and build end-to-end features, enhancing existing systems and contributing to agentic LLM workflows (retrieval pipelines, structured tool use, chained LLM calls)
• Fix user-facing bugs and issues, and make quality-of-life improvements across backend and frontend systems
• Get hands-on with evaluation frameworks that measure accuracy, robustness, and clinical reliability
• Help prototype with new models, prompting techniques, and open-source orchestration tools (LangChain, LlamaIndex, etc.)
• Develop a strong user-centric mindset, building empathy for Abridge's clinicians and the challenges they face
• Collaborate across cross-functional product teams — design, product, machine learning, and infrastructure — to ship features to customers
• Receive guidance from an experienced software engineering mentor, and collaborate one-on-one with teammates within your pod

Requirements

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field
• A strong interest in pursuing a full-time software engineering role in 2027 — high-performing interns are eligible to receive a return offer
• AI tooling is already part of how you work — you use it to write, debug, and learn faster, and you know when to trust it vs. verify
• Passion for and understanding of Abridge's mission
• A curious, adaptable, and proactive mindset, with a desire to learn and grow in a fast-paced startup environment
• A collaborative, low-ego mindset — we move fast, and we need team players who are eager to contribute wherever needed
• Must be willing to work from our San Francisco (Potrero) or New York City (SoHo) office 5x per week

This internship is based in our San Francisco or New York City office. Relocation to either location will be supported through reimbursements.
