Forward Deployed Engineering Intern (AI Adoption Pod)

About the Pod

Carousell Group is building a small pod of engineers to help internal, non-engineering teams figure out the right tools, workflows, and agents to multiply their impact. This isn't about basic build support — most teams can already put together a simple AI workflow on their own. The pod exists for the harder calls: what should run on Claude versus another tool, how to weigh cost and latency tradeoffs, how to architect the link between a front-end and the underlying infrastructure so it holds up under real use, and what it takes to keep something secure and maintainable after launch.

What You'll Do

• Sit with internal teams (e.g. Data, Product, Marketing, Sales Ops, People, Finance) to understand what they're actually trying to solve — you'll rarely get a fixed spec, and will need to sharpen fuzzy problems through conversation and rapid prototyping

• Build and iterate on AI-powered skills, workflows, and agents for real, non-technical users

• Make the calls a non-technical builder can't: what to deploy and where, how to weigh cost against speed and latency, how to architect the connection between a front-end tool and the underlying infrastructure

• Debug in production — when something breaks for a real user, you're the one who fixes it

• Stay with a workflow past "it's built" — the job isn't done until the team can see it's working and the outcome is measurable

• Feed patterns back to the pod: what's reusable across teams, what needs a different approach each time
