This internship sits at the intersection of User Experience and Software Engineering, building and maintaining the internal Research Agent platform that UX researchers use to discover and synthesize knowledge. You’ll automate research workflows with low-code tools and Python, pull data from sources like Jira, Google Drive, and Salesforce, and prototype new capabilities such as a Slack bot for past research. You’ll monitor AI agent performance and collaborate with UX researchers to translate pain points into technical solutions, delivering practical, good‑enough features quickly.
This is a unique internship for a builder who sits at the intersection of User Experience and Software Engineering. We are looking for an intern to help us build and maintain the "Research Agent"—the internal platform our UXRs use to discover and synthesize knowledge. If you love low-code automation, Python, and making teams more efficient, this is for you.
What You'll Do
Build & Automate: Work directly under the guidance of the UXR Manager to execute on technical requirements, building workflows using low-code tools to automate manual research tasks.
Data Wrangling: Script solutions to pull data from diverse sources (Jira, Google Drive, Salesforce) and structure it for our internal RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) system.
Prototype New Capabilities: Act as the primary technical builder, quickly creating "proof of concept" features for the research team to test (e.g., a Slack bot that answers questions about past research).
Monitor Performance: Help track the quality of our AI agent's answers and fine-tune the prompts used to query our data.
Collaborate with UX Researchers to understand their pain points and translate them into technical implementation.
What You'll Need
Core AI Proficiency: Critical familiarity with LLMs, RAG concepts, vector databases, and agent frameworks.
Technical Aptitude: Experience with Python or JavaScript/TypeScript.
Automation Mindset: Demonstrated experience (or side projects) to connect different apps using APIs or other techniques.
Data Fluency: Comfort working with JSON, CSVs, and unstructured text data.
Pragmatic Problem Solving: A focus on building "good enough" solutions quickly rather than over-engineering; must be comfortable with independent execution.
