As an AI Intern within the Enterprise Intelligence team, you'll join a tight‑knit group of data scientists and IT & software developers who partner with our sci/tech teams to use advanced computing to make meat. Your work will advance our AI portfolio and become central to the worldwide scale of cultivated meat, contributing to a sustainable global food system.This AI Internship is a chance to deliver full life-cycle AI deployments, from stakeholder design to shipping new services.

You might mine time-series data for hidden predictors, or engineer robust pipelines in Python and SQL, or prototype neural networks in PyTorch. Expect to juggle API integrations, Lambda‑style micro‑services, and data‑engineering touchpoints as you weave LLM‑powered chat, search, and automation features directly into existing UPSIDE infrastructure. You'll partner with biologists to ensure your features honor metabolic reality, iterate with manufacturing engineers to translate raw sensor streams in algorithms and push models across scales, and ship crisp visualizations that make complex kinetics intuitive for non‑experts. This sixteen week internship will give you a front‑row seat to how AI integrates with mammalian and avian cell biology, and by the end, you'll have deployed three or more applications that drive meaningful value and enable the future of food.Responsibilities include:
Collaborate with stakeholders to envision and design AI-first workflows and AI agents that are teammates for UPSIDErs.
Explore our R&D and MFG data landscape in search of predictive data and insights, and develop custom data pipelines where needed.

Integrate AI solutions within organizational tools (e.g., Slack, Jupyter) and data sources, and leverage dashboards or lower-tech solutions when appropriate.
Work closely with IT and Data teammates to ensure infrastructure support.
About you:
Proficiency in ML and Generative AI models, particularly time-series neural networks, hybrid modeling, and/or LLM agents for scientific research.
Strong coding skills in Python and SQL, with PyTorch experience; dashboard visualization skills are desired but not required.
Demonstrated experience in building AI/ML integrations, including using API's, Lambda (or equivalent) and pipelines / other transport & transform methodologies.
Ability to gather requirements and translate them into technical solutions, and to integrate AI solutions with existing infrastructure.
Familiarity with bioprocessing and cell biology concepts.
Preference for recent graduates or those doing a Master's program in AI, computer science, or data science.
Required to be on-site 3-days a week at our facility near Berkeley, CA
Who you'll work with:
Our Enterprise Intelligence team, who has instrumented our manufacturing and R&D data, steward our data lake, and design models.
Bioprocess and cellular‑biology engineers and manufacturing staff who will translate model outputs and visualizations into real‑world operations and interventions that boost cell growth, flavor, and yield.
Cross‑functional R&D partners in analytics, product, and sensory science who rely on your insights to shape the next generation of cultivated meat.
Leaders across the whole organization who are eager for LLM‑driven data exploration, literature or document review, and workflow acceleration.

Software Engineer
San Francisco, CA job
As a software engineer at General Medicine, you'll help build and scale a healthcare store that makes it delightfully simple to shop for any type of care. We provide upfront cash and insurance prices for virtual and in-person visits, prescriptions, labs, imaging, and more.
What we're looking for
We're looking for strong engineers to help us build a seamless and beautiful consumer healthcare product. We're looking for folks who will obsess over every detail of our patient experience, and also tackle the complex operational challenges of delivering care at scale. We are looking for engineers who care deeply about technical excellence but are also comfortable moving quickly - we are constantly navigating tradeoffs between engineering velocity and quality.
Our ideal candidate is hungry, high-agency, and aspires to be a generalist. Our engineers frequently write product requirements documents, write SQL to understand how features are performing, and own QA - no task is beneath us or outside of the scope of the role if it helps us to deliver a great product. We're looking for someone who can operate in an environment of significant ambiguity, and who is comfortable working closely with design, operations, and clinical stakeholders.
We don't expect you to have a healthcare background (though it's great if you do!). However, you should be excited by the prospect of digging into the messy complexities of the American healthcare system (integrating with EHRs, revenue cycle management, etc).
Qualifications
2+ years of experience building web apps as a full-stack engineer
Experience with modern infra tooling and programming languages. We currently use AWS, Ruby on Rails, and NextJS, and would expect you to have proficiency in a modern tech stack even if it isn't the one we are using.
Please note that this role is based in either our SF office (near Market and Spear St) or our Boston office (Central Square, Cambridge). We expect our team to work from the office least 3 days per week.
Why join us
We're an experienced team that has built a company in this space before, our product has clear product-market fit, and we've raised money from top investors.
We have an ambitious and distinctive vision for what can be built in consumer healthcare. We believe LLMs and price transparency legislation have opened up several massive opportunities.
If you're an ambitious and entrepreneurial software engineer and this resonates, please apply.
