Frontend Engineer Intern
Role summary
This internship focuses on Frontend Engineering within a robotics platform company. The intern will build and refine UI components using modern frameworks like Vue 3 or React, collaborating with designers and engineers to deliver features end-to-end. Key responsibilities include implementing real-time data visualization for robot status and telemetry, utilizing AI-assisted development tools, and participating in a fast-paced code review process. The role requires a strong foundation in HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, familiarity with REST APIs, and a demonstrated ability to self-teach. Interest in AI agents and AI-integrated interfaces is highly valued.
About This Role
You'll push code to production in your first week. Our robot platform serves customers managing physical robots. You'll work alongside our designer and engineering team building the web interfaces that connect humans with our robots.
What You'll Do
- Build and refine interactive UI components using modern frontend frameworks (Vue 3 / React)
- Collaborate with designers, backend engineers, and robotics teams to deliver features end-to-end
- Implement real-time data visualization for robot status, sensor data, and telemetry
- Use AI-assisted development tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) to accelerate your workflow
- Review and get reviewed — we run lightweight PRs with fast turnaround, not bureaucratic gates
- Learn rapidly on the job — you'll encounter new frameworks, protocols, software and hardware concepts weekly
Required
What We're Looking For
- Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field
- Solid understanding of HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript fundamentals
- Experience with at least one modern frontend framework (React or Vue)
- Familiarity with REST APIs and basic understanding of client-server architecture
- Active user of modern collaboration and community platforms (GitHub, Discord, Slack, Notion, etc.)
- Proficient with AI-powered development tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) and eager to push their limits
- Interest in AI agents, multi-agent systems, and building AI-integrated interfaces
- Basic understanding of CI/CD concepts and automated testing workflows
- Demonstrated ability to self-teach — e.g., picked up a new framework, language, or tool for a personal project without formal instruction
- Comfortable working async (PRs, docs, written specs) and sync (pairing sessions, design reviews)
Bonus Points
- Experience with Node.js or Python for backend/scripting tasks
- Familiarity with SQL databases and basic query writing
- Exposure to Docker or cloud platforms (AWS)
- Understanding of WebSocket / Socket.IO for real-time communication
- Experience with authentication flows (JWT, OAuth)
- Experience contributing to or managing open-source / technical communities
- Experience building community-oriented products (forums, social platforms, user systems)
- Familiarity with 3D rendering (Three.js, WebGL) or data visualization (ECharts, D3)
- Portfolio or personal projects that showcase your skills
