Job Description

San Francisco (Hybrid) | Part-time or Full-time, 3 months, with potential to convert 

About RocketRide.ai 

RocketRide is an SF-based AI startup pushing the boundaries of open source agentic workflows — helping developers build smarter systems that work for them. Our meta-harness connects automation, AI, and open collaboration into something fast, flexible, and deeply useful. 

About This Role 

We're searching for an AI Developer Intern for the fall term (mid-Sep through mid-Dec), who is technical, curious, and ready to get their hands dirty building real AI features. You'll collaborate closely with our engineering team to design, build, and ship AI-powered capabilities, from agentic workflows and LLM integrations to data pipelines and developer tooling. This is a meaningful role with real impact: the code you write will commit to open source and deploy to production, shaping how developers use RocketRide. 

What You’ll Do 

  • Design, build, test, and deploy AI software components including vision models, LLM integrations, agentic workflows, multimodal data pipelines, and similarity search. 

  • Leverage agentic AI code-generation tools to move fast without sacrificing code quality or reliability. 

  • Gain hands-on experience with open-source and proprietary AI tools, including agent frameworks like OpenClaw and CrewAI, graph databases like neo4j, agent skills, MCP and Cursor. 

  • Contribute to our open-source projects and help grow our developer community through Discord, online developer forums, and technical content. Assist with local AI tech events and community meetups. 

  • Collaborate with engineering, DevRel, and founders to ensure our systems support how real developers adopt and scale agentic AI in production. 

What You’ll Bring 

  • Currently pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, with a strong interest in Generative AI and/or Machine Learning. 

  • Hands-on software experience — you write solid code, build demos, and can engage credibly with developers at a technical level. 

  • Fluency with modern AI tools and a love of experimenting with them to solve real-world problems. 

  • Demonstrable understanding of LLMs, generative AI applications, and agentic AI concepts. 

  • Public contributions you’re proud of — a GitHub project, personal site, plugin, or technical content. 

  • Familiarity with Python; exposure to C++ is a plus. 

  • Ability to work from our San Francisco office regularly (at least 3 days/week).

Why You’ll Love This 

  • Impact: At our size and pace, the code you write moves the needle. You’ll ship to production, not just a sandbox. 

  • Experience: Hands-on work with cutting-edge agentic AI tools, frameworks, and infrastructure — the real stack, not toy projects. 

  • Growth: We challenge ourselves every day to be better and go faster. You’ll learn through collaboration, tech talks, and direct mentorship from experienced engineers and founders. 

  • Community: Build your network within SF’s AI developer scene and connect with our growing open source community. 

  • Culture: Hybrid office/remote flexibility, fun outings, great downtown SF location, and a tight-knit team that takes the work seriously but has fun doing it. 

  • Path forward: Strong interns have the opportunity to convert to a full-time role.
