Java Software Engineer Intern

🚀 Most internships have you fixing minor typos or doing mindless data entry. This one is different.

At OrynAI, you'll own real engineering initiatives from day one — shipping production code, building robust backend architectures, and solving complex scalability challenges that directly shape one of the most ambitious AI startups in the space.

We're building AI systems that analyze global government policies and geopolitical data in real time, turning complex regulatory intelligence into actionable decisions for enterprise clients. We need a sharp, driven Java Software Engineer Intern to help us build the foundational systems that make this possible.

💵 Compensation: $45/hour (Scale based on experience) | 100% Remote | Undergrads & Grads welcome
