About Kintsugi AI
Kintsugi AI is revolutionizing sales tax automation with our AI-powered platform designed specifically for e-commerce and SaaS businesses. Our solution reduces tax preparation time by 75% and cuts compliance costs by 50%, allowing finance teams to focus on strategic initiatives rather than routine calculations. As we continue to grow and disrupt the tax automation space, we're building a world-class team to help us scale with purpose.
The Role
We’re looking for a motivated
Engineering Intern
to join our
Automations team
— the group responsible for transforming complex, manual sales tax workflows into scalable, AI-driven automation systems. From low-code orchestrations in
n8n
to browser-based RPA with
Sola
, this team ensures that critical compliance processes like filings, registrations, and reporting happen automatically and reliably.
In this role, you’ll work at the intersection of engineering and operations: helping build robust automations while also providing
technical support
to unblock our
Customer Success
and
Onboarding
teams. You’ll help diagnose and resolve automation issues, improve internal tools, and ensure that our workflows are running smoothly for customers in production.
This is a hands-on opportunity to learn how automation, AI agents, and systems integration come together to power a real-world SaaS platform.
What You’ll Do
- Contribute to building and maintaining automation workflows using tools like
n8n
,
Sola
, and internal APIs
- Monitor and troubleshoot automation pipelines to ensure reliability and uptime
- Provide
technical support
to unblock Customer Success and Onboarding teams — investigating workflow issues, assisting with configuration, and helping triage bugs
- Collaborate with engineers and operations teams to document and optimize repetitive business processes
What We’re Looking For
- Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
- Familiarity with one or more programming languages (e.g.,
Python
,
TypeScript
,
JavaScript
)
- Interest in automation, backend development, and systems integration
- Strong problem-solving and debugging skills, especially in operational or support contexts
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills — able to explain technical issues clearly to non-engineering teams
- Eagerness to learn in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment
Bonus Points For
- Experience with REST APIs, webhooks, or cloud-based services (AWS, GCP, etc.)
- Exposure to workflow automation or orchestration tools (e.g.,
n8n
,
Airflow
,
Temporal
)
- Prior experience supporting internal or customer-facing teams in a technical capacity
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Hands-on mentorship from experienced engineers and managers
- Exposure to automation, agentic systems, and real-world AI applications
- Opportunity to work closely with both engineering and customer-facing teams
- A mission-driven culture focused on simplifying complex financial processes
- Flexible, supportive work environment at a fast-growing startup
