Fifer University: Summer AI Internship

About Fifer (fifer.io)
Fifer is a reliable, trustworthy enterprise GenAI platform empowering public sector organizations, employees, and customers to obtain information, gain insights, and drive results—all running in your cloud environment with zero data leaving premises.  Fifer is purpose-built for Government with swappable LLMs, patent-pending multi-agent RAG, out-of-box apps (Chat, Expert, Audit, Analyst, Dev), and much more.

The Internship
Join our 8-week summer program (June 1–July 31, 2026) as a paid AI Intern. No lectures—just relentless building. You'll build solutions to real problems in government, science, healthcare and homeland security on the Fifer platform. This will require you to be in our DC office on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9-4.

Who We're Seeking

  • Rising college freshman/sophomores/juniors in ANY DEGREE program – we want energetic, motivated, capable individuals with a vision for creating something amazing
  • AI obsessives: You have used AI beyond a “super Google” search. Maybe you've built personal GenAI projects using tools like Claude Code or Roo, maybe you’ve contributed to open-source projects, or won hackathons. Or maybe you just have a vision for a “killer app” or an idea that would make government work better for the American people and want to learn how you can make it real using AI.
  • First-principles thinkers: Break problems to atoms (e.g., "What are the primitives of consulting automation?", “How could the Veteran’s Health Administration serve patients better”) and then build it into something real boldly
  • You are not afraid to make mistakes, and you learn from them
  • Experience in using GenAI for web or mobile app development 
  • Some of you might be very familiar with Python, JavaScript, Kotlin, prompt engineering, and LLMs, but you may just be a creative with an amazing idea, and you need an AI partner to make it real.
  • Active GitHub account. Not just "familiar with GitHub"—you use it. Your repo is how you show us who you are before you ever say a word to us
  • Experience with either AWS or Microsoft Azure, but if not, be willing to dig in 

 

What You'll Do as an Intern

  • Week 1:
    • Hear from leaders in using AI in government, science, healthcare
    • Learn about the tooling you need to know about – Fifer, GitHub, AI Agents 
    • Deep-dive Fifer bootcamp
    • Ideate/launch app teams
  • Week 2–6:
    • Use Fifer AI to make a concept a reality, working from where you are, or in our downtown DC office
    • Prototype, iterate, deploy (e.g., AI market analysts, client dashboards, your killer app idea) – See what others are doing and exchange lessons learned
  • Week 7–8: 
    • Polish for production + Demo Day pitch to execs, investors, customers.
