Intern to Founding Engineer

Navi Operations provides end-to-end production planning software for factories by connecting to ERP systems and using AI agents and mathematical optimization. The Intern to Founding Engineer will work part-time during their final college year, building production software across data pipelines, ERP integrations, agent workflows, and planner-facing interfaces, with a path to full-time Software Engineer employment.

What you'll do:

• Work across the stack: data pipelines and ERP integrations, agent workflows, the interfaces planners actually use
• Real production code from week one, not a side project parked in a corner
• Build software that real factories depend on, where wrong output has consequences on a production floor
• Pick up whatever the problem requires. New domains, new tools, unfamiliar codebases

What they're looking for:

• This role is for graduating college seniors only
• In person in NYC, starting early
• • Graduating in May 2027 and available to start full-time immediately after
• • Creative and proactive. You find the problem worth solving instead of waiting to be handed one
• • Low ego. Strong opinions, held loosely, dropped quickly when the evidence says otherwise
• • Self-taught by default. You go read the source, the spec, the paper
• • Judgment about AI. You know when to let a model do the work, when to do it yourself, and how to tell the difference. Neither the engineer who won't touch it nor the one who ships whatever it produces
• • Comfortable with ambiguity and messy real-world data
• We are not able to sponsor or transfer employment visas for this role. Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. without current or future sponsorship
• • Manufacturing, supply chain, ERP, or ops experience
• • Building on LLMs in production, not just demos

Benefits:

• Direct continuation to a full-time offer in May
• Competitive equity
