About the Role

The Strategy Team at Attentive leads both internal and external AI initiatives across the company, driving innovation and alignment with our broader business goals. We work cross-functionally to identify high-impact opportunities where AI can deliver better experiences for employees or customers. This is not a traditional internship – you will be prototyping real agent-based systems and shipping real code to help us get real products into market.

This is a hybrid role in our New York City office.

What You’ll Do

Build marketing automation workflows using AI coding tool
Prototype solutions quickly to turn ideas into working demos in days, not weeks
Help design and test agent-driven workflows (prompt chains, feedback loops, automation pipelines)
Iterate on existing systems by improving reliability, outputs, and performance
Translate marketing problems into structured prompts, workflows, or lightweight code
Document what works and contribute to reusable patterns and playbooks

What We’re Looking For

Builder mindset. You like making things. When you see a problem, your instinct is to build a solution and not just talk about it.
AI Curiosity. You wake up every day trying to learn more about how agents work and the limits of what they can do.
AI experience. You use Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and the like to build something that has seen the light of day (projects, scripts, automations, etc.).
Technical foundation. You are comfortable with the following:
- Writing simple scripts (Python, JavaScript, etc.)
- Working with APIs or structured data
- Using no-code / low-code tools to automate workflows
Comfort with ambiguity (with support). You’re okay starting with an unclear problem as long as you have guidance and collaboration along the way.

For US based applicants:

This role will be paid at the rate of $25 per hour and is non-exempt
