UX Research Intern

This is a unique internship for a builder who sits at the intersection of User Experience and Software Engineering. We are looking for an intern to help us build and maintain the "Research Agent"-the internal platform our UXRs use to discover and synthesize knowledge. If you love low-code automation, Python, and making teams more efficient, this is for you.

What You'll Do

* Build & Automate:
Work directly under the guidance of the UXR Manager to execute on technical requirements, building workflows using low-code tools to automate manual research tasks.

* Data Wrangling:
Script solutions to pull data from diverse sources (Jira, Google Drive, Salesforce) and structure it for our internal RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) system.

* Prototype New Capabilities:
Act as the primary technical builder, quickly creating "proof of concept" features for the research team to test (e.g., a Slack bot that answers questions about past research).

* Monitor Performance:
Help track the quality of our AI agent's answers and fine-tune the prompts used to query our data.

* Collaborate with UX Researchers to understand their pain points and translate them into technical implementation.

What You'll Need

* Core AI Proficiency:
Critical familiarity with LLMs, RAG concepts, vector databases, and agent frameworks.

* Technical Aptitude:

Experience with Python or JavaScript/Type Script.

* Automation Mindset:
Demonstrated experience (or side projects) to connect different apps using APIs or other techniques.

* Data Fluency:
Comfort working with JSON, CSVs, and unstructured text data.

* Pragmatic Problem Solving: A focus on building "good enough" solutions quickly rather than over-engineering; must be comfortable with independent execution.
