Skills
Job Description
At August, we’re building AI designed for one thing: helping law firms practice better. Unlike tools built for the AmLaw 100, our focus is on midsized firms — where efficiency, client service, and competitive advantage matter most.
Our platform helps lawyers draft, review, and analyze documents at scale, turning what used to take hours into minutes. We’re trusted by forward-thinking firms across the U.S., Australia, and Asia, and backed by leading investors (NEA, Pear VC, Stanford Law) to grow globally.
We move quickly, learn directly from clients, and believe that AI is transforming the practice of law.
The Opportunity
August is building AGI for law. Our agents mimic a lawyers' reasoning, research, and drafting, and our workflows already outperform lawyers in third-party evaluations. We're targeting mid-market law firms, automating their legal work and allowing them to provide our tools directly to their clients. Join August at an early stage as we scale our agents to process thousands of documents simultaneously and create outputs exceeding human-level accuracy.
As a Full-Stack Engineering Intern at August, you will contribute to production-grade agents that perform legal tasks with expert-level reasoning. You'll work closely with the founders, legal experts, and product team to support AI systems in high-stakes workflows used by real lawyers across the globe.
What You'll Do
Help build intuitive and optimized UI/UX using React and TypeScript for workflows that integrate reasoning LLMs and agentic architectures.
Support zero-to-one product development: assist in prototyping, evaluating, integrating, and testing new product features in close partnership with our customers and legal team.
Contribute to new AI native workflows: work on implementing streaming, long-running tasks, procedural UX, and other features for new AI tasks, learning to balance state-of-the-art approaches with pragmatism.
About You
Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
Experience with JavaScript/TypeScript, React, and/or Next.js through coursework, personal projects, or previous internships.
Demonstrated interest in creating polished, intuitive user interfaces with attention to detail.
Eager to learn and comfortable working at an early stage company with a mindset of ownership and rapid iteration.
Ability to commit to a full-time in-person internship from June through August 2026.
