About PressW
PressW is where some of the world's most ambitious companies come to actually ship AI. We're redefining how businesses harness AI by building real systems for real clients, not just selling slides about what's possible. We're a team of three exited AI founders and a group of Applied AI Engineers based in Austin, and we've been heads-down for the last few years building this firm into something we're proud of: more than 70 production AI solutions shipped, 40+ clients across seven industries, and over $50M in measurable profit gains delivered. We work on the bleeding edge of what AI can do, guide our clients to the right solutions for their business, and ship the infrastructure they run on. We sell across three divisions. Managed AI is our MSP, purpose-built for institutional investors: private equity firms, venture capital funds, asset managers, and capital markets clients. We map how a firm actually works, deploy custom agents into the workflows that consume deal teams' time (reading deal documents, drafting IC memos, scoring targets, triaging inbound, structuring offers, monitoring portfolio companies), and keep evolving those systems as models and firm needs change. AI Engineering embeds our teams directly with clients to build and harden production AI systems. AI Transformation handles roadmap and readiness work, helping leaders figure out what to build, in what order, and how to prepare for it.
PressW interns are not on a side-project track. From week one you ship the same work as our Applied AI Engineers: production AI applications and Claude-powered workflows for real clients, plus the internal platforms the whole firm runs on. You'll work across the entire stack, from backend services and data layers to frontend interfaces and agent runtimes, with your code reviewed, evaluated, and deployed to paying clients.
What You'll Do
Build and ship production AI workflows and Claude plugins for client teams, from briefing agents and inbox triage to interactive financial models.
Develop backend services and integrations in Python, connecting AI systems to the platforms clients already run on (CRMs, project management, document systems) with security and safety guardrails.
Build frontend interfaces and full-stack features using TypeScript, React, and Next.js.
Work with databases and analytics systems: designing schemas, building rollups, and exposing typed APIs.
Build and deploy autonomous agents end-to-end on modern agent runtimes, and improve agent reliability through evals and tool-design iteration.
Contribute to open source and internal enablement: security guardrails, reusable skills, docs, and trainings.
Qualifications
Experience with TypeScript/JavaScript, including asynchronous programming, and modern frameworks like React or Next.js
Experience with Python development; familiarity with backend frameworks like FastAPI is a plus
Proficiency in HTML/CSS and Git version control
A solid understanding of how to build and interact with RESTful APIs, relational databases (PostgreSQL or similar), and other back-end technologies
Familiarity with LLMs, including prompting, tool use, and integrating AI models into applications
Experience using AI assistants to optimize your day-to-day productivity
Excellent debugging skills and the ability to work effectively in large, collaborative codebases
Strong communication and problem-solving skills with a focus on delivering practical, working solutions
Preferred Skills
Experience building LLM applications such as agents, RAG, or tool-using systems
Familiarity with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) or agent frameworks like the Claude Agent SDK, LangChain, or LangGraph
Familiarity with NextJS and its app directory routing structure
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices
Experience deploying to a major cloud provider or serverless platform (AWS, GCP, Azure, Vercel)
Familiarity with TailwindCSS and headless-ui frameworks
