AI Software Engineering Intern (Internal Tool Build Out) - 3 months

Are you a software engineering self-starter that can figure things out and is interested in building out and implementing AI relevant tools into an operational workflow?

CSBio is a leading biotech company in the peptide industry, and for over 30 years has been providing pharmaceutical instrumentation to biotech, pharmaceutical, and academic researchers.

We are looking for a highly motivated AI Software Engineering Intern to help build and expand our internal AI tool used for inventory management, purchasing optimization, and manufacturing decision support. This role is ideal for a recent BS graduate who is resourceful, independent, and excited to build full-stack AI features with minimal guidance.

You will be working directly with leadership and internal stakeholders. We need someone who can learn fast, troubleshoot on their own, and embrace a “vibe coding” approach: figuring things out through exploration, iteration, and creative problem-solving.

Only local candidates who have graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or Software Engineering and can commit to a full time on-site role for 3 months will be considered. This is a fully onsite role, 5 days in office at our Mountain View location off the N Shoreline Blvd 101 exit.

Job responsibilities include the following:

• Work with leadership and internal stakeholders to refine requirements and translate ambiguous goals into working code. Refining requirements and understanding exactly how the data structure is used out of our manufacturing system and API will be critical.
• Build new features for our internal AI platform using Python, Streamlit, and the OpenAI API.
• Integrate, debug, and optimize data workflows using the MISys Manufacturing REST API and our Bronze–Silver–Gold data architecture.
• Develop clean, functional pages for inventory visibility, purchasing logic, and AI-generated insights.
• Troubleshoot issues end-to-end—including data extraction, caching, errors, and deployment—independently.
• Iterate rapidly: quickly prototype ideas, test, refine, and ship features.

Why This Role

If you want an internship where you build real software, operate independently, and ship features that impact manufacturing operations immediately, this is it. You’ll learn how to combine AI, data engineering, and real-world operations into a production tool that the company uses every day.

• BS degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science, or related field.
• Comfortable working solo in a fast-moving, ambiguity-heavy environment.
• Ability to self-teach, experiment, vibe code, and “figure it out” without step-by-step instructions. This work is to build out an internal tool and not to work on our product, as such there will be no internal software engineering team to support you.

• Nice to haves:

• Python skills and familiarity with web app development (Streamlit preferred).
• Experience working with APIs, JSON, and data manipulation in Python.
• Experience with OpenAI API or other LLM/AI tools
• Exposure to manufacturing, ERP/MRP systems, or supply chain systems

• Full time (36 hours/week) paid hourly role for 3 months.
• Role is expandable to 6 months dependent on feature build out
• Catered lunches every Monday and Wednesday
• Internship will run from January - March 2026.
