Flagship Pioneering: AI Automation Engineering Co-Op

What you'd do

• Build and deploy automations using low-code platforms (e.g., Zapier, Workato) and, where needed, custom code (e.g., Python, JavaScript) to automate business workflows
• Integrate AI models via APIs into automation pipelines
• Help deploy and maintain applications on cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS)
• Learn to evaluate different tools and approaches for new projects, considering tradeoffs like speed, complexity, and long-term maintainability
• Test your own work thoroughly, with a focus on accuracy and edge cases, especially for data-sensitive workflows
• Iterate on proof-of-concept solutions based on real-world performance and feedback from business stakeholders
• Keep clear notes on how your solutions are built so others can understand, maintain, and extend them
• Support AI tool pilots and help create training materials that make it easier for non-technical users to adopt AI-enabled workflows

What they want

• Current graduate student in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field
• Proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., Python, JavaScript)
• Basic understanding of APIs, webhooks, and how web services communicate
• Comfort working with AI tools in a development or productivity context
• Strong problem-solving skills and a willingness to learn new tools quickly

What you get

• Build alongside founders. You’ll work inside the same hypothesis-driven process Flagship uses to conceive and launch first-in-category companies.
• This can be the start of a longer story. Strong co-ops are considered for future opportunities across Flagship and its portfolio companies, not just for this one role.
• Work alongside people who left the safe path. Your colleagues are scientists, engineers, and operators who chose to build something new rather than join something already established.
• Take on real ownership. You're contributing to ventures that are still being defined. Your work can shape real decisions, not just support them.
• Be paid like the contributor you are. Compensation reflects the real work you take on.
