AI Engineering Intern

About Bask Health

Bask Health is a software platform that enables entrepreneurs, doctors, and healthcare businesses to launch, manage, and grow direct-to-consumer telehealth businesses.

Our platform brings together patient experiences, clinical workflows, pharmacy operations, and commerce tools in one place.

We're an entrepreneurial, product-focused engineering team that values ownership, technical excellence, and building software that solves real problems. Engineers work closely with product teams and company leadership, take features from idea to production, and have a direct role in shaping the platform.

Engineering at Bask is AI-first and builder-led. We use tools like Cursor and Claude Code throughout development while maintaining high standards for reliability, testing, and software quality.

About the Role

We're looking for an AI Engineering Intern to join Bask Health's engineering team and gain hands-on experience developing AI-powered software features and tools.

Bask Health provides the technology behind direct-to-consumer telehealth businesses, connecting merchant storefronts, patient experiences, clinical workflows, pharmacy operations, and commerce capabilities. As we continue expanding our AI-powered functionality, we're looking for curious, motivated individuals who want to learn how modern AI technologies are integrated into real software products.

You'll work alongside experienced software engineers, applied AI engineers, and product teams to contribute to AI-related development projects across the platform.

This internship is designed to provide practical engineering experience rather than purely academic research. You'll have opportunities to write code, work with APIs, test AI applications, and learn how software features move from development into production.

Your work may include experimenting with large language models, integrating AI APIs, developing small application features, testing model responses, improving prompts, and building internal engineering tools.

You'll receive guidance from experienced engineers while being encouraged to take initiative, ask questions, and contribute ideas. As you become more comfortable with our systems, you'll have opportunities to take ownership of appropriately scoped technical tasks.

You'll also learn about the engineering practices required to build reliable AI applications, including testing, debugging, version control, code reviews, monitoring, and responsible handling of application data.

Because Bask operates in healthcare-related environments, you'll learn how privacy, permissions, and human oversight influence the design and deployment of AI-powered features. Your work will remain within approved product and technical boundaries, with appropriate engineering supervision.

We welcome candidates who have developed their skills through university coursework, independent projects, hackathons, internships, open-source contributions, or self-directed learning. Previous professional AI engineering experience is not required.

We're looking for someone who enjoys building software, is genuinely interested in applied AI, and wants to learn how modern engineering teams create useful AI-powered products.
