About the role

  • Forward Deployed Engineering Intern building AI-powered solutions for Homebase. Collaborating with teams to map workflows and enhance internal operations leveraging AI.

Responsibilities

  • Embed with the People team, including Talent Acquisition and HR functions, to map workflows, surface pain points, and identify high-leverage AI automation opportunities that level up how we hire, onboard, and support our team.
  • Design, prototype, and ship AI-powered automations end-to-end, applying LLMs creatively to real business workflows in ambiguous, fast-changing environments.
  • Build full-stack solutions: From Python scripts and backend services to intuitive React interfaces — for internal teams to use in production.
  • Operate like a product-minded engineer: Run interviews, co-design solutions, and iterate based on real-world usage and feedback.
  • Measure impact rigorously: Ship changes that move metrics like rep talk time, ticket deflection, adoption, and operational efficiency.
  • Codify what works by creating reusable templates, playbooks, and documentation for future engineers and partner teams.
  • Experiment with AI tools to accelerate your own workflows and demonstrate AI fluency in your daily work (a Homebase expectation for all roles).

Requirements

  • Curiosity and enthusiasm for AI-first engineering, including hands-on experimentation with LLMs, agents, or automation tooling.
  • Experience with Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or React, whether through coursework, personal projects, hackathons, or open-source contributions.
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity, learning new systems quickly, and working directly with non-technical stakeholders.
  • A product mindset — ability to break down problems, scope solutions, and iterate quickly based on user feedback.
  • Strong communication skills for pairing with business partners and demoing work.
  • Genuine curiosity about People operations, HR tech, or talent workflows — or eagerness to learn how AI can transform the way organizations hire and grow their teams.
  • Currently enrolled in a college or university program and available for a summer internship (June–August).
  • Ability to collaborate in the Houston or San Francisco office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Benefits

  • Flexible work arrangements
  • Professional development opportunities
