Engineer Intern

Full–time

Posted on: a month ago

PickCV is an AI-native talent intelligence platform building a unified system that connects job seekers, early talent, and hiring systems.

We convert fragmented talent capability data into structured, machine-readable signals—enabling more reliable evaluation and decision-making at scale.

At its core, PickCV is building a unified intelligence layer that models:

  • skills

  • experience

  • learning behavior

  • market demand

  • About the Role:

    Backend + AI Systems | ₹10,000/month stipend | 6-month internship

    Location: Mostly remote — preference for Hyderabad, Vizag, Bengaluru, or Mumbai

    Why this role exists

    The Problem: The Talent and Hiring intelligence systems still operate on limited, inconsistent signals.

    The Gap: Most solutions improve how information looks. We focus on how it is interpreted by systems.

    The Current Phase: Building on our B2C resume intelligence product, we are now shipping initial modules as part of a B2B POC. The focus of this phase is to evolve these systems into reliable, production-grade infrastructure that performs consistently under real-world usage.

    What you’ll be working on

    You’ll build the AI systems and product engineering.

    AI systems:

  • Resume parsing and structured information extraction

  • Skill identification from resumes and job descriptions

  • LLM-powered resume improvement systems

  • Talent-to-job matching models

  • AI agents for career gap analysis and recommendations

  • Interview intelligence (simulation and feedback systems)

  • Product & platform:

  • PickCV web platform

  • APIs powering AI workflows

  • User dashboards and resume tools

  • Talent profile and data systems

  • Integrations with learning and hiring platforms

  • AI-native workflows:

  • LLM pipelines and orchestration

  • Embeddings and similarity search

  • AI-based scoring and ranking systems

  • Automation agents

  • What you’ll own

  • Systems that convert unstructured data into reliable signals

  • Production-grade backend services and APIs (Python + TypeScript)

  • AI-driven workflows for analysis, matching, and automation

  • Data pipelines where accuracy, reliability, and failure handling matter

  • The kind of person we want

    This is not a “learn and observe” role. This is a “build and figure it out ” role.

  • You see a problem and try to solve it

  • You learn tools quickly when needed

  • You use AI tools to move faster, not just experiment

  • You enjoy figuring things out independently

  • You care about shipping real systems

  • You don’t need to know everything. But you must be comfortable learning fast and building fast.

    What matters most

    Output > credentials

  • You’ve built real projects (not just coursework)

  • You can take ideas from 0 → working product

  • You don’t wait for perfect specs or constant direction

  • You operate effectively in ambiguity

  • Do NOT apply if

  • Your experience is limited to courses, bootcamps, or certifications

  • You haven’t built anything end-to-end

  • You need constant direction to move forward

  • Tech (indicative, not mandatory)

    Languages: Python, JavaScript / TypeScript

    AI: LLM APIs, prompt pipelines, embeddings, vector search

    Web: React / Next.js, backend APIs (FastAPI / Node.js)

    Data & infra: PostgreSQL, vector databases, cloud platforms

    Note: We move fast. Learnability > specific tools.

    Who this is ideal for

  • Students in CS / AI / Data Science

  • Recent graduates who enjoy building

  • Developers already experimenting with AI tools

  • People who want to build products, not just complete assignments

  • What you gain

  • Experience building real AI-powered systems (not demos)

  • Direct exposure to product and system design decisions

  • End-to-end ownership from idea → production

  • Real-world experience with modern AI workflows

  • This is hands-on startup engineering experience. Not simulated. Not sandboxed.

    The trade-off: Let's be practically honest

    ₹10,000/month | 6 months | Remote

  • Lower short-term pay

  • Higher ownership, faster learning, real system exposure

  • Post 6 months → Exceptional performers → full-time roles & early equity participation
