Crustdata
Real-time B2B data via simple APIs
Software Engineering Intern (Forward Deployed) | Summer 2026
About the role
About Crustdata
The way information on the internet is consumed is changing - from humans searching pre-crawled pages to AI agents doing real-time targeted crawling from sources of truth. But there’s no “Google” for AI agents… yet.
At Crustdata, we’re building that. We serve 300+ customers and we’re growing fast. Backed by Y Combinator, General Catalyst, SV Angel, A Capital, and Liquid 2 Ventures.
Our mission: be the default way AI agents interface with the internet.
What you’ll do
You’ll be a technical partner to revenue and product teams: build rapid prototypes and demo tooling, ship customer integrations, and turn those into repeatable solutions that help customers (and help us close deals).
- Build rapid prototypes and POCs for prospects
- Create demo tooling + reusable templates to accelerate sales
- Implement turnkey integrations (APIs, pipelines, dashboards) and hand off to Customer Success
- Connect Crustdata to customer systems + third-party tools
- Turn prototypes into repeatable reference implementations into the product
- Build AI agents for internal sales and customer success workflows
- Share feedback with Product & Engineering and write docs/playbooks
- (Optional) Join occasional on-site workshops
Who you are
We care way more about ability and hustle than years of experience.
- Undergrad (or equivalent) CS/EE/Math background
- Strong coding skills in Python and/or TypeScript/JavaScript
- Comfortable building real things end-to-end (projects, OSS, hackathons, research, prior internships - all count)
- Solid fundamentals + you learn fast
- Bonus: SQL/data curiosity (warehouses/ETL/analytics), APIs/integrations
Why this internship is different
- You ship. You’ll work on real customer problems with real stakes.
- You learn fast. Small team, high trust, direct founder access.
- You matter. Your work will influence product direction and revenue.
- Future upside. Strong interns are top-of-list for full-time.
If you want an internship where you ship real stuff that customers use (and you work directly with founders), this is it.

About Crustdata
The way information on the internet is consumed is changing. It's shifting from humans searching pre-crawled information on Google via point and click to AI agents doing real-time targeted crawling from sources of truth. The interface, the workflow, and the density of retrieved data and its fidelity, which worked for humans, doesn't work for AI agents.
At Crustdata, we are building the gateway to the internet for AI agents. In simple terms, we're building the APIs for AI Agents to access real-time data from sources of truth. We already serve dozens of enterprise customers, are profitable and growing very fast. We're backed by some of the best investors in Silicon Valley including Y Combinator, General Catalyst, SV Angel, A Capital and Liquid 2 Ventures among others.
