Intern, Software Engineer, Platform Team
About The Position
As a Platform Engineering Intern at Hayden AI, you’ll work on the foundational systems that power our entire product. This is not a sandbox role, you will contribute directly to the infrastructure, services, and data pipelines that ensure our Perception algorithms run reliably across edge devices and cloud environments. You will partner closely with senior engineers to build and improve the systems that move data from devices in the field all the way through event processing and delivery to our partners. Your work may touch cloud services, backend systems, fleet health monitoring, data tooling, or internal platforms that support security, compliance, and governance. This role is ideal for someone who wants to understand how large-scale AI systems operate in production—from edge hardware to cloud infrastructure—and is excited by reliability, performance, and scalability challenges. You will gain hands-on experience designing, building, testing, and deploying production-grade systems while learning how high-performing infrastructure teams operate. This position is based in San Francisco and follows a hybrid schedule with at least 3 days in-office per week.
