About The Company
Bot Auto runs autonomous trucks out of Houston, Texas. We sell the capacity, not the technology. We own the trucks, the safety case, and the operation end to end. Our team pairs trucking operators who've run real fleets with the engineers building the technology because commercializing this industry takes both. We're not chasing a demo. We're building the freight network the industry actually needs.

United by a shared vision, we create miracles and propel the future of transportation. Join us and transform your dreams into reality.

About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated Software Engineer Intern to join our AI Agents team. This team explores, prototypes, and productionizes cutting-edge AI agent technologies to accelerate productivity, automate workflows, and enhance knowledge sharing across the organization. You will work on building and improving AI-powered agents that support a wide range of functions, including software development, fleet operations, and business processes. This is a unique opportunity to experiment with the latest advancements in large language models (LLMs), agent frameworks, and autonomous workflows, while delivering practical impact in a real-world environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and iterate on AI agents that automate engineering, operational, and business workflows
  • Develop integrations between LLMs and internal systems, tools, and data sources
  • Implement agent workflows involving planning, tool usage, memory, and multi-step reasoning
  • Experiment with prompt engineering, evaluation techniques, and model optimization strategies
  • Build backend services and APIs to support scalable deployment of AI agents
  • Collaborate with engineers and cross-functional teams to identify high-impact automation opportunities
  • Evaluate and benchmark emerging AI agent frameworks, models, and tools
  • Contribute to internal platforms that enable rapid development and deployment of AI-powered solutions

Qualifications

Required:

  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field
  • Strong programming skills in Python (preferred) or other languages such as Go, Java, or JavaScript/TypeScript
  • Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and software engineering fundamentals
  • Familiarity with machine learning or large language models (through coursework, projects, or internships)
  • Strong curiosity about AI systems and eagerness to explore new technologies

Preferred:

  • Hands-on experience with LLM APIs (e.g., OpenAI, open-source models) or agent frameworks (LangChain, AutoGen, etc.)
  • Experience building backend systems, APIs, or distributed systems
  • Familiarity with prompt engineering, RAG (retrieval-augmented generation), or vector databases
  • Exposure to evaluation methods for AI systems (benchmarks, metrics, human-in-the-loop feedback)
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) or containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Interest in applying AI to real-world problems such as automation, productivity, and decision-making
