Role
We are excited to open applications for our “No AI Summer” internship.
We invite dedicated late-college or early career candidates to apply for this role. You would be perfect for this role if you:

Hmmm… why “not AI”?
Over the last two years we have seen an over-reliance on AI tools as an industry, limiting the growth and development of new junior engineers. Once you move beyond simple tasks, this over-reliance can lead to poor quality work and wasted time for everyone involved.
We want the rockstars on our team to help us build amazing products – (ironic em-dash) To do this we are banning AI in this internship.
So… you guys must really hate AI?
no way. AI is a very useful tool. You can get double-digit productivity improvements by using it. We use it extensively. Part of our product suite is AI. Don’t apply if you hate AI.
