Java Software Engineer

🚀 Most internships have you fixing minor typos or doing mindless data entry. This one is different. At OrynAI, you'll own real engineering initiatives from day one — shipping production code, building robust backend architectures, and solving complex scalability challenges that directly shape one of the most ambitious AI startups in the space. We're building AI systems that analyze global government policies and geopolitical data in real time, turning complex regulatory intelligence into actionable decisions for enterprise clients. We need a sharp, driven Java Software Engineer Intern to help us build the foundational systems that make this possible. 💵 Compensation: $45/hour (Scale based on experience) | 100% Remote | Undergrads & Grads welcome ⸻ About the Role As a Java Software Engineer Intern at OrynAI, you'll work directly with the core engineering team and founders to design, build, and deploy high-performance backend systems. You will play a vital role in processing massive streams of geopolitical data and ensuring our AI infrastructure is fast, reliable, and scalable. This is not a "shadow and observe" internship. You'll write real code, push to production, and own critical features. ⸻ What You'll Do Design & Build: Develop robust, scalable backend services and APIs using Java and Spring Boot. Data Pipeline Engineering: Optimize data ingestion pipelines to process complex, real-time global policy and geopolitical data. Optimize Performance: Write clean, efficient, and well-tested code, identifying and resolving system bottlenecks. Collaborate: Partner closely with our AI/ML engineers to integrate advanced models into our core platform. Ship Code: Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and agile sprints, pushing code to production weekly. ⸻ Who We're Looking For Education: Pursuing a BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field. Core Skills: Strong foundation in Java and a solid understanding of object-oriented programming, data structures, and algorithms. Frameworks & Tools: Exposure to modern Java frameworks (like Spring Boot) and relational or non-relational databases (SQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB). Mindset: A proactive problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced startup environment and loves tackling ambiguous technical challenges. Bonus Points: Experience with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP), Docker, Kubernetes, or an interest in how AI interacts with large-scale data processing. ⸻ Why OrynAI? ✅ Competitive Pay: $45/hour — a highly competitive rate for engineering talent. ✅ 100% Remote: Work from anywhere in a fully asynchronous environment. ✅ Real Ownership: Your code will ship to production and directly impact enterprise users. ✅ Mentorship: Work side-by-side with senior engineers and the founding team. ✅ Resume-Defining Experience: Build a portfolio at the cutting edge of modern AI infrastructure and global policy tech. ⸻ If you've been waiting for an engineering internship where you actually build core infrastructure, tackle deep technical challenges, and get paid well — this is it.
