College Recruiting - Cornell - Internship / Co-op 2027

Build real systems. Ship real code. Fix real problems.

Thanks for checking out Standard Template Labs. We’re a stealth-mode, AI-native startup backed by leading investors, reimagining the future of IT Service and Configuration Management by combining AI, graph-based architecture, and exceptional design. We’re tackling some of the hardest challenges in enterprise software-and we’re looking for Cornell engineers who want to take on meaningful ownership with an Enterprise project.

About the Role
We are seeking Full Stack Engineers with solid academic experience designing and building applications. You’ll be responsible for contributing to the build-out of user-facing features and backend services end-to-end, collaborating closely with designers, product engineers, other software engineers and infrastructure experts.

You'll be exposed to:

• Owning features end-to-end: design, implement, test, and deploy user-facing functionality and backend APIs

• Shaping the stack: work across front-end, backend, and database layers (stack not set yet — you’ll help define it)

• AI-native product development: integrate AI/LLM capabilities into workflows to make ITSM smarter and more efficient

• Performance & scaling: build highly performant, secure, and scalable services for enterprise customers

• Collaborating cross-functionally: partner with platform engineers on infrastructure, and with product/design on UX

• Contributing to Developer productivity: contribute to internal tooling, code quality, and CI/CD best practices

• Security & compliance: bake in enterprise-grade security and compliance (SOC 2, ISO 27001) from day one

• Customer impact: deliver features that enterprise users actually love, in contrast to the legacy tools they tolerate

Qualifications

• Education: Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field

• Frontend: Skilled with modern frameworks (React, Vue, Angular, or similar). Strong understanding of design systems and building clean, performant UIs

• Backend: Proficient in at least one modern programming language (Python, Go, Rust, C++ or similar). Experience designing REST/GraphQL APIs and distributed systems

• Databases: Hands-on with relational (Postgres/MySQL) and ideally non-relational or graph databases

• Cloud: Strong experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure

• DevOps: Familiar with CI/CD pipelines, Docker, Kubernetes, and IaC (Terraform)

• Mindset: Pragmatic, product-driven engineer who thrives in high-velocity startup environments

• Bonus: Experience building applications with AI/LLM integrations, or exposure to ITSM/enterprise workflows. Taking products from 0 to 1

What We Offer

• Build foundational product features for an AI-first enterprise platform

• The opportunity to take ownership of critical systems that scale to millions of users

• A culture that values craftsmanship, autonomy, and technical excellence

• Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits package

• Work from our Midtown, Manhattan office, where you’ll be side-by-side with the founding team in a supportive, collaborative setting. Our team works on-site five days a week, growing and building together, and the location is easy to reach with plenty of public transportation options.
