Assistant Audio Software Developer Jobs in Brooklyn, NY

What to Expect:

Please consider the following before submitting an application:

We are hiring on a rolling basis, so you can start as soon as you are ready. This is a flexible internship lasting anywhere from 2 to 12 months, either part-time or full-time, depending on your availability. The position is primarily remote, with potential opportunities to collaborate with the founding team in person. Compensation is $50 USD per hour.

Our team is focused on recognizing and developing emerging technical talent. As a Bonzi intern, you will not simply assist the engineering team. You will build and ship real product features, work directly with the founders, see your work reach users, and help make technical decisions that shape the product.

The experience will be fast-paced, hands-on, and unlike a traditional internship. You will be given meaningful ownership from the beginning.

About the Team:

Bonzi is an AI video studio reimagining how content gets made. Instead of generating one-off clips with a single model, Bonzi provides a complete creative studio: access to leading models such as Sora 2, Veo 3.1, Kling, and Flux 2 Pro; reusable characters; saveable formats; and an AI agent capable of building an entire video from a single sentence.

Creators, brands, and agencies use Bonzi to produce weeks of content in an afternoon. We recently launched, and the film featured on our page was created entirely using Bonzi.

We are a small and ambitious team where every person has a meaningful impact. You will work closely with the founders and other early builders to shape the product, engineering culture, and future of AI-powered content creation.

What You Will Do:

Depending on your experience and interests, you may contribute across one or more of the following areas:
Product and Full-Stack Engineering

• Build and ship user-facing features across the Bonzi platform
• Develop responsive, intuitive interfaces for complex AI workflows
• Design and integrate APIs, databases, and backend services
• Improve application performance, reliability, and scalability
• Identify bugs and usability problems, then take ownership of fixing them

AI and Video Infrastructure

• Integrate leading AI image, video, audio, and language models
• Build systems that select and coordinate different models automatically
• Develop reliable workflows for long-running AI generation tasks
• Improve generation quality, speed, cost efficiency, and consistency
• Experiment with new models and determine how they can improve the product

Engineering and Product Development

• Work directly with the founders to turn product ideas into working features
• Speak with users and translate their feedback into technical improvements
• Participate in technical planning, architecture decisions, and code reviews
• Test new ideas quickly, measure their impact, and improve them based on real usage
• Help establish engineering practices as the team and product grow

What You Will Bring:

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field; equivalent practical experience is also welcome
• Experience building software through internships, coursework, hackathons, freelance work, or personal projects
• Proficiency in at least one modern programming language
• Familiarity with web development, APIs, databases, and version control
• Strong problem-solving skills and an ability to learn unfamiliar technologies quickly
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced and occasionally unstructured startup environment
• A self-starter mindset with the drive to take ownership and ship working products
• Genuine interest in artificial intelligence, creative software, and the future of video production

Bonus Qualifications

• Experience building full-stack web applications
• Experience with JavaScript, TypeScript, React, or similar technologies
• Experience integrating AI models or third-party APIs
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure, background jobs, media processing, or distributed systems
• Previous experience working at a startup or building your own product
• A portfolio, GitHub profile, or personal project demonstrating what you can build
