About Internships at Gritt
Our internships are scoped projects: you own a defined deliverable end-to-end, work with a dedicated mentor, and demo your work to the whole team. Many interns receive return or full-time offers. This will be an internship for one of two durations: 3 months, or 6 months.

We offer competitive salaries, and the opportunity to work on a mission with tremendous climate impact.


What you'll get to work on

• Build and operate training, data, or evaluation infrastructure used daily by the wider SW team.

• Work with GPU clusters, orchestration, and data pipelines at scale.

• Instrument, monitor, and harden the pipeline you ship.

• Test your work on real robots at the office.

• Opportunity to publish (for PhD interns).

• Attend Tier-1 industry conferences.

An example project could be anything from an auto-curation pipeline that mines fleet logs for rare events (gusts, occlusions, near-misses) to feed training, to a regression harness that replays field scenarios against each new model release.

What we look for

• Pursuing BS/MS/PhD in CS or related field.

• Strong Python; familiarity with cloud services (AWS/GCP), containers, and CI/CD.

• Evidence of building infrastructure or data systems.

• Should be comfortable taking ownership of tasks with light supervision.

• Must have excellent problem-solving skills.

• Legally authorized to do an internship in the United States for either 3 months or 6 months.

Nice to have

• Kubernetes, Ray, Spark, Terraform, observability stacks, or ML experiment tooling.
