Student AI Developer

Transform Campus Tech with AI

Step into a role that redefines the student developer experience. At Ohio State's Office of Technology and Digital Innovation (OTDI), you won't just be maintaining legacy systems; you'll be at the forefront of the AI-assisted development movement. You will serve as a technical bridge, working directly with university departments to turn complex academic ideas into working software.

The Vibe Coding Tech Stack

You will receive specialized training on how to build and document software using the latest AI models. This position emphasizes the "vibe coding" philosophy—using natural language and strategic oversight to drive the development process rather than manual line-by-line typing.

• Advanced AI Tools: Gain hands-on proficiency in Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and Amazon's AI development ecosystem.
• Internal Consulting: Move beyond the screen to triage needs and manage relationships with faculty and staff across the entire campus.
• Modern Design: Learn professional standards for software architecture, triage, and documentation through an AI-first lens.

Who Should Apply

We are looking for current OSU students who are effective communicators and eager to master AI-driven workflows. If you prefer solving problems and designing systems over getting bogged down in manual syntax, this is the perfect opportunity to build a modern technical portfolio while supporting the university's mission.
