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.
