AI Innovations Intern

Job Type: Internship (Year-Round / Rolling)
Work Arrangement: Hybrid Location: Los Angeles, CA Eligible Applicants: Undergraduate & Graduate Students

SCALIS is building the future of hiring. As the world's first end-to-end agentic AI recruiting platform, we're on a mission to make hiring smarter, faster, and more human — all  platform combines a powerful Applicant Tracking System (ATS) with a dynamic job board, powered by AI that learns from every interaction to surface better candidates, reduce time-to-hire, and eliminate the manual grunt work that bogs down recruiting teams.

At the heart of SCALIS is Bella — our AI recruiting agent that orchestrates the entire hiring journey from sourcing to final placement. We're a small, fast-moving team building something that's genuinely transforming how companies find and hire talent. If you want to work on real AI problems that ship to real customers, this is the place.

We're looking for an AI Innovation Intern to help every person at SCALIS work smarter. This is an internal-facing role — your job is to identify where our team loses time and build AI-powered tools, workflows, and automations that get those hours back. Think of yourself as an AI productivity partner embedded in the company.

This is not a "sit in on meetings" internship. You'll talk directly to teammates across engineering, sales, and operations, diagnose their biggest friction points, and ship solutions. Some will be lightweight prompt workflows. Some will be full internal tools. All of it will have immediate, visible impact on the people you work alongside every day.

This is a rolling opportunity — we review applications on an ongoing basis and onboard interns throughout the year.

• Interview teammates across departments to understand where manual, repetitive, or slow work is happening
• Build and deploy internal AI tools, automations, and prompt workflows using LLMs (e.g. Claude, GPT-4) and no-code/low-code platforms
• Create AI-assisted templates and processes for tasks like writing, research, outreach, reporting, and QA
• Prototype and iterate quickly — test with real users on the team, gather feedback, and improve
• Document and train teammates on the tools you build so adoption actually sticks
• Proactively spot new opportunities as the company grows and needs change

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Information Systems, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related field
• Hands‑on experience building with LLMs — prompt engineering, API integrations, or AI‑powered workflows
• Comfort working across tools like Zapier, Make, Notion, or similar platforms to automate workflows
• Strong communication skills — you'll be spending as much time listening to teammates as you will coding
• Self‑starter mindset: you can identify a problem, scope a solution, and ship it without hand‑holding

• Experience with Python scripting or lightweight backend development
• Familiarity with productivity tools (Slack, Linear, Notion, etc.) and how to extend them with AI
• Prior experience building internal tools or ops automation at a startup
• Interest in HR tech, recruiting workflows, or the future of work

• Immediate, visible impact — teammates will use what you build every single day
• Direct access to founders and senior team members who are deeply bought into AI‑first ways of working
• A sandbox to experiment: we'll give you the tools, accounts, and latitude to try things
• Flexible, hybrid schedule that works around your classes
• A front‑row seat to how a fast‑moving AI startup actually operates
