About the Internship
We are seeking a graduate-level intern specializing in front-end engineering or full-stack product development to help turn front-end product screens into real working software functionality inside an existing codebase.
This role is centered around using Claude Code, Codex and MCP tools in the terminal to analyze codebases, review designs and backend documentation, create missing front-end documentation, implement features, debug issues, and refine production-ready software. Claude may also be used for backend-related tasks and code reviews where appropriate.This role is about building real product functionality.
The interns job is to take front-end screens, flows, and product requirements and help translate them into complete working features by thinking through:
how the feature should behave
what user stories need to be defined
what the acceptance criteria should be
what happens in edge cases
what the data limitations are
what empty states, loading states, and error states need to exist
what the front end needs from the backend in order to work correctly
Strong front-end experience is required.Prior hands-on experience with Claude Code and Codex is required. Prior hands-on experience with MCP server integrations is required. Candidates should already be comfortable with vibe coding workflows.A strong QA mindset is essential for success in this role.
The ideal candidate is someone who can look at a design, review the available backend and product documentation, identify what is missing, create the missing front-end documentation, and then help implement the feature properly inside a real software system.
What This Role Involves
This internship is centered around front-end product implementation.That includes work such as:
translating front-end Figma screens into detailed implementation requirements
creating missing front-end documentation based on designs and backend docs
writing user stories for front-end behavior
defining front-end acceptance criteria before development starts
identifying edge cases, broken flows, and missing product logic
documenting empty states, loading states, error states, and validation behavior
identifying backend dependencies and data limitations that affect the front end
implementing front-end and supporting full-stack functionality in the codebase
reviewing whether a feature is actually complete, usable, and build-ready
The goal is to make sure the screen translates into real functionality that works correctly.
Development Workflow:
This role uses a terminal-based development workflow built around Codex and MCP server integrations, with Claude used for backend work and code reviews when needed.The intern will be expected to already know how to:
use Claude Code and Codex to work inside an existing repository
use MCP tools to retrieve codebase, architecture, design, and documentation context
analyze front-end requirements and identify missing implementation details
create missing front-end documentation based on designs and backend documentation
write or refine user stories, acceptance criteria, edge cases, data limitations, and error states
implement feature behavior across front-end and supporting full-stack logic
review code outputs critically instead of accepting them blindly
debug issues and validate that features work properly in real use cases
use Google Chrome Developer Tools within the MCP-supported workflow to inspect UI behavior, debug front-end issues, validate states, and verify that implemented functionality matches the intended screen behavior
What Youll Work On
Interns will primarily work from existing product screens, design files, backlog items, and backend documentation to help move features from UI concept to complete (link removed) may include:
analyzing Figma front-end screens and product flows
translating screens into implementation-ready front-end requirements
creating missing front-end documentation from designs and backend docs
writing front-end documentation for:
user stories
acceptance criteria
edge cases
empty states
loading states
error states
validation rules
data limitations
backend dependencies
identifying missing behavior or unclear requirements before development starts
building front-end components and feature flows
implementing supporting full-stack logic where needed
connecting the front end to APIs and backend services
debugging broken behavior and refining incomplete implementations
validating that features behave correctly across expected use cases
Key Responsibilities:
work 100% inside a Codex + MCP terminal-based workflow for front-end and full-stack implementation
use Claude as needed for backend-related work and code review workflows
translate front-end screens and product requirements into implementation-ready functionality
create any missing front-end documentation based on designs and backend documentation
write and refine user stories for front-end features
define and document acceptance criteria for front-end features
identify and document edge cases, data limitations, backend dependencies, and functional gaps
define empty states, loading states, validation states, and error states
build front-end features and supporting full-stack functionality
review AI-assisted code critically and refine weak implementations
debug product behavior and identify incomplete or broken experiences
think through QA, usability, and functional completeness before marking work done
collaborate with product and engineering leadership on feature execution
use Google Chrome Developer Tools in the MCP server environment to inspect, debug, and validate front-end functionality during implementation and QA review
Required Qualifications
Masters degree required in one of the following or a closely related field:
Software Engineering
Computer Science
Front-End Development
Full-Stack Development
Artificial Intelligence
Data Science
Analytics
Must-Have Qualifications
This role requires candidates who already have hands-on experience with the tools and workflow used in this position.
Prior hands-on experience with Figma, Claude Code, and Codex
Prior hands-on experience with MCP server integrations
Comfortable working in a vibe coding workflow and not new to this type of environment
Strong front-end development experience
Strong QA mindset
Ability to translate front-end screens into real functionality
Ability to create missing front-end documentation from designs and backend documentation
Ability to write user stories, acceptance criteria, edge cases, data limitations, and error states
Comfortable working 100% in the terminal
Able to work inside an existing codebase
Required technical familiarity:
JavaScript / TypeScript
React, Next.js, or similar front-end frameworks
front-end architecture and component-based development
APIs and backend integration patterns
debugging and validating application behavior
product-minded front-end implementation
terminal-based development workflows
Strong analytical and problem-solving ability.Strong attention to detail and ability to spot incomplete requirements, broken states, weak implementations, and UX or logic gaps before a feature is considered complete.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with any of the following is a plus:
full-stack product development
working inside existing production codebases
front-end QA or product QA thinking
writing implementation documentation before development begins
identifying API and data constraints that affect front-end behavior
refining UI flows based on real product logic
repository-aware AI tooling and documentation-driven development workflows
This role is best suited for candidates who are already comfortable in a real Codex + MCP vibe coding workflow for front-end and full-stack implementation, and who can also work effectively with Claude for backend-related tasks and code reviews.
What You Will Gain
This internship provides hands-on experience building real software product features in a modern terminal-based development workflow.You will gain exposure to:
front-end product implementation
translating screens into real working software behavior
acceptance criteria and implementation documentation
edge-case thinking and QA-minded product development
full-stack feature support and backend dependency awareness
Figma, Codex, Claude, and MCP-based engineering workflows
production codebases and structured engineering documentation
Interns will work directly with leadership and engineering teams to help move product features from screens and requirements into real working software.
Internship Details
Duration: 4 6 months; Commitment: hours per week; Location: 100% remote; Compensation: Unpaid internship.
