Our goal is simple: reduce manual work in tax advisory and redefine how tax operations are run — through applied AI.

Your mission As an Applied AI Engineering Intern , you will work on systems that automate real tax workflows using AI. You won’t be working on demos or side projects. You will build and improve systems that are actively used in production — from document processing to decision support.

Your work will directly impact how tax professionals operate on a daily basis.
