Engineering Intern

Role overview

Sentra is looking for an Engineering Intern to help build real software used by actual customers. This is a hands-on opportunity to work closely with engineers creating AI-native products and to contribute across the product and engineering stack.

What you will work on

• Develop production-ready software that ships to users.
• Support backend services, APIs, product functionality, and internal tooling.
• Take part in technical design conversations and peer code reviews.
• Lead assigned work from concept through deployment.
• Learn how effective engineering teams plan, build, and release software.

What the team values

The company places much more weight on what you have built than on a traditional résumé. Applicants are encouraged to show concrete work such as GitHub projects, personal side projects, weekend builds, or challenging experiments that required persistence to solve.

• A strong sense of curiosity and ownership.
• Comfort with teaching yourself new concepts out of genuine interest.
• Enjoyment of fast-paced work and open-ended problem solving.
• Willingness to ask thoughtful questions and admit when something is unfamiliar.
• A mindset focused more on learning than on trying to appear polished.

Bonus experience

• Exposure to Python or contemporary backend development.
• Experience with AI or large language model work.
• Contributions to open-source projects.
• Participation in hackathons.
• Research-based projects.
• Startup experience.

Application note

Instead of spending a long time refining your résumé, the team prefers that you quickly share something practical you have built. A short, clear demonstration of your work is more important than polished presentation.
