Forward Deployed Engineer Intern
CLAR AI
Converts conversations into executable workflows
Our mission: Putting AI to work. We're not making another "AI app"; we're fundamentally changing how work gets done. We deploy agentic AI systems into real businesses (logistics, ops, healthcare) to solve high-stakes challenges with our proprietary platform. We believe this is the biggest technological shift since the internet, and we're building the company to define it. Following significant early traction, we are expanding our team.
We are a team hungry to build, and our culture is the engine that drives us. We care deeply about outcomes and hold ourselves accountable to both speed and quality of craft. We work on-site in the heart of Munich, believing proximity breeds serendipity - the unscripted breakthroughs and high-trust collaboration that forge our supportive culture and world-class results.
This is no ordinary internship. From week one you own real customer deployments end to end - the same work our Forward Deployed Engineers do, not side projects and not busywork. You sit directly with customers and ship agents that go live.
Deconstruct the Challenge: Immerse yourself in our customers' operations, collaborating with everyone from operators to executives to map messy workflows and high-impact opportunities.
Architect & Build the Solution: Translate unstructured business problems into robust, scalable AI agents. You'll design architectures, define APIs, and implement full-stack solutions that combine frontend interactivity with backend intelligence.
Drive Real-World Impact: Own the go-live process from CI/CD pipelines to runtime monitoring. You ship fast, iterate on user feedback and telemetry, and make sure your agentic system delivers measurable value in live environments.
Shape What We Build: Spot recurring technical patterns across deployments and turn them into reusable building blocks - influencing our internal frameworks and product.
You're early in your career but already build like someone others rely on - exceptional, relentless, and happiest shipping real things. You want to be pushed, not coddled.
Software Engineering: You write clean code fast and can spin up full-stack web applications from scratch (e.g. in React, Typescript and NodeJS or Python). You've already built and shipped things, not just followed tutorials.
Exceptional & Early: You're studying CS, information systems, engineering, or a related field (or just finished) and already build what most graduates can't - or you're self-taught with a portfolio that proves it.
AI Native: You think like an AI engineer, build on top of foundation models and understand combining model capabilities with retrieval, voice AI, multi-agent architectures, external tools etc. You're excited about designing new abstractions for reasoning, memory, and interaction - the emerging blocks of agentic software.
Entrepreneurial Mindset: You take radical ownership, think in systems, and optimize for outcomes. You can move from whiteboard sketch to live deployment in days - and you know when to ship and when to polish.
Customer Obsession: You treat customer problems as your own to design an exceptional user experience and deliver it through code. You're comfortable to travel occasionally to customers. You are an excellent communicator (German & English) with both technical and business counterparts.
Pragmatic Builder: You thrive in ambiguity and messy customer data and can break down complex problems, moving forward without a perfect roadmap. You have a strong sense of product aesthetics and craftsmanship, ensuring what you build is not just functional, but also thoughtful and polished.
You need a detailed roadmap and clearly defined tickets to be productive.
You want a gentle, structured internship with lots of hand-holding.
You see customer interaction as a distraction from engineering work.
You prefer to perfect an algorithm in isolation over shipping great solutions quickly.
You are looking for an established corporate environment and a 9-to-5 mentality.
Real Ownership from Day One: You own live customer deployments, not a sandbox side project. Your work ships and creates measurable value within weeks.
Learn at Founder Speed: You'll work shoulder to shoulder with founders and senior engineers at the frontier of agentic AI - and learn more in a few months here than in years anywhere else.
Fast Track to Full-Time: We hire our best interns. Prove yourself and there's a full-time seat waiting for you.
Competitive Pay, Serious Fun: You're paid well for real work, with a group of solid people you'll actually enjoy building with.
Does this sound like you? Let's put AI to work.
CLAR AI automates enterprise workflows by turning everyday conversations into actions executed inside a company’s existing systems, including tasks like updating records and completing processes, through channels employees and customers already use (voice, email, WhatsApp, Teams). Its product uses agentic AI to understand a business context by modeling products, customers, processes, and rules, so the AI can act like an experienced colleague. A governance layer checks actions against standard operating procedures, enforces user roles, and allows human oversight when needed, ensuring consistent, compliant execution without a new user interface. The goal is to scale repetitive requests, improve data quality from conversations, and boost operational efficiency and customer satisfaction while staying within the current software stack.
