Summer 2027 Intern - AI Foundry Incubation

The Role

As an AI Foundry Incubation Intern, you will serve as the crucial link between cutting-edge research and practical application. Working within Salesforce AI Research, your primary mission is to validate experimental technologies through deep user discovery and experimental design. You won't just be watching from the sidelines; you'll be designing protocols and conducting interviews to ensure that the next generation of AI agents truly meets customer needs.

Vibe Coding & Technical Focus

This position is tailor-made for the modern developer who leverages AI to move faster. You will be expected to utilize Python, SQL, and R to manage data, but more importantly, you'll 'vibe-code' custom tools to help collect and synthesize feedback at scale. This is a high-autonomy environment where natural language prompting and AI-assisted development are recognized as legitimate ways to build internal research infrastructure.

Career Impact

Located in the heart of Palo Alto, this 12-week summer program puts you at the center of the 'Agentforce' movement. You’ll collaborate with world-class engineers and researchers to translate abstract models into enterprise-grade solutions. It’s a unique opportunity to shape the functional standards of how humans and AI agents work together in the modern workforce.
