We’re Waypoint. We’re on a mission to help cities automate transportation planning and eventually urban planning broadly. Cities face staffing shortages and budget crunches, but good planning is essential for tackling challenges like affordability, mobility, and design of human-centric cities. \
\
We’re already working with 10+ municipalities across the US to bring AI into their daily workflows, freeing up planners to focus on the big problems.\
\
As an intern, you’ll work on real customer-facing projects that shape how cities operate. We believe an internship here is the best training for becoming a founder: you’ll get autonomy, ownership, and mentorship while solving hard, meaningful problems. We’re full through the summer but are open to interns any time of the year.\

**What You’ll Do**
* Build features and workflows used by city governments. Your code will directly impact built infrastructure and prioritization in cities.
* Design and launch your own product ideas, guided by customer needs.
* Talk directly with city planners to learn their challenges.
* Work on tough engineering problems at the edge of what’s possible with AI.
**What You’ll Gain**
* Experience working in a fast-paced environment where you can have an idea in the morning and ship to customers by the end of the day.
* Direct mentorship from our founding team and access to our network of founders.
* Hands-on experience in GovTech.
* A deep understanding of what it means to be customer-obsessed.
* The opportunity to work on challenges with real-world impact.
**What We’re Looking For**
* Autonomy: you can take a task and bring it to completion.
* Persistence: you can work through a hard problem even if the solution is non-obvious.
* Passion: you take pride in your work and you pay attention to the details.
* Engineering mentality: you find joy in building, and you have built things in the past.
