San Francisco, CA, USInternship$4K - $8K / monthlyYC-F24

What the role involves

About Crustdata

The way information on the internet is consumed is changing - from humans searching pre-crawled pages to AI agents doing real-time targeted crawling from sources of truth. But there’s no “Google” for AI agents… yet.

At Crustdata, we’re building that. We serve 300+ customers and we’re growing fast. Backed by Y Combinator, General Catalyst, SV Angel, A Capital, and Liquid 2 Ventures.

Our mission: be the default way AI agents interface with the internet.

What you’ll do

You’ll be a technical partner to revenue and product teams: build rapid prototypes and demo tooling, ship customer integrations, and turn those into repeatable solutions that help customers (and help us close deals).

Build rapid prototypes and POCs for prospects

Create demo tooling + reusable templates to accelerate sales

Implement turnkey integrations (APIs, pipelines, dashboards) and hand off to Customer Success

Connect Crustdata to customer systems + third-party tools

Turn prototypes into repeatable reference implementations into the product

Build AI agents for internal sales and customer success workflows

Share feedback with Product & Engineering and write docs/playbooks

(Optional) Join occasional on-site workshops

Who you are

We care way more about ability and hustle than years of experience.

Undergrad (or equivalent) CS/EE/Math background

Strong coding skills in Python and/or TypeScript/JavaScript

Comfortable building real things end-to-end (projects, OSS, hackathons, research, prior internships - all count)

Solid fundamentals + you learn fast

Bonus

SQL/data curiosity (warehouses/ETL/analytics), APIs/integrations

Why this internship is different

  • You ship. You’ll work on real customer problems with real stakes.
  • You learn fast. Small team, high trust, direct founder access.
  • You matter. Your work will influence product direction and revenue.
  • Future upside. Strong interns are top-of-list for full-time.

If you want an internship where you ship real stuff that customers use (and you work directly with founders), this is it.
