Reflecting on your thoughts and observations
What You'll Get

End-to-end project ownership at intern scope, with real production impact
A written performance evaluation at the end of the placement
Required Skills and Experience

Ability to move fast, make good decisions under ambiguity, and ask questions to learn
Strong backgrounds in technology and leadership
Fluency in written and spoken English
Preferred Skills and Experience
Interest in staying on the bleeding edge of the AI ecosystem — Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI Agent SDK, MCPs, and whatever comes next World Resources Institute
