Founding Engineer/Intern

Sweep is revolutionizing software development with their AI coding assistant specifically designed for JetBrains IDEs. As a Founding Engineer/Intern, you'll be at the forefront of AI-driven development tools, working on cutting-edge problems in artificial intelligence that directly impact users.

The role offers a unique opportunity to work with exceptional builders in developing an AI assistant that automates software maintenance tasks, particularly focusing on converting natural language descriptions into actionable code changes and pull requests. The company has already secured major customers and maintains a fast-paced shipping environment.

With a small but focused team of 4, they're positioned to make significant impacts in how developers interact with AI assistance tools. Their commitment to shipping fast and maintaining production-grade solutions for large customers demonstrates their serious approach to product development.

This role is perfect for those passionate about AI, developer tools, and the future of software development, offering both technical challenges and the opportunity to shape a promising product in its early stages.
