What is an internship kill switch engineer?

An Internship Kill Switch Engineer is a specialized role focused on developing, implementing, and maintaining emergency shutdown systems ('kill switches') for hardware or software used in sensitive environments. This position often involves designing fail-safe mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, or equipment malfunction. The role is particularly important in industries such as cybersecurity, robotics, or autonomous vehicles, where rapid deactivation can prevent accidents or security threats. As an intern, individuals in this position typically assist senior engineers, conduct testing, and document procedures while gaining hands-on experience in safety-critical technology.

What types of projects or tasks can an internship kill switch engineer expect to be involved in during their internship?

As an Internship Kill Switch Engineer, you can expect to work closely with experienced engineers on tasks such as designing, testing, and implementing safety mechanisms that allow for the controlled shutdown of hardware or software systems. Typical responsibilities may include participating in code reviews, assisting with the integration of kill switch features into existing products, and helping to troubleshoot security vulnerabilities related to system shutdown protocols. You'll likely collaborate with cross-functional teams including cybersecurity, hardware, and software engineering, gaining exposure to real-world challenges in safety and security. This role provides hands-on experience that can serve as a foundation for future positions in embedded systems or cybersecurity engineering.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an internship kill switch engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Kill Switch Engineer, you need a solid understanding of computer science fundamentals, cybersecurity principles, and experience with embedded systems or software development, typically supported by a relevant engineering degree. Familiarity with programming languages such as C/C++, Python, and tools like version control systems, as well as certifications like CompTIA Security+ or CISSP, are commonly required. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help engineers identify vulnerabilities and collaborate with cross-functional teams. These skills are crucial to ensure the safe and effective implementation of kill switch mechanisms that protect systems from unauthorized access or compromise.

Job description

Company Description

It all started when engineer Fred Luddy wrote code that automated a tedious task for his coworker, Phyllis. She cried tears of joy. That moment inspired Fred to build a company that could do that for everyone—freeing people from busywork so they could focus on meaningful work. Today, ServiceNow is the AI control tower for business reinvention. Our ServiceNow AI platform brings together any AI, any data, and any workflow— helping 85% of the Fortune 500® work smarter, faster, and better. We're building an AI-native culture where technology and talent are unstoppable together. And we're just getting started.

Join us to put AI to work for people.

Job Description

About the Team

AIEngineeringand Deliveryis the customer-obsessedengineering group building the agentic AI and enterprise-scale search systems that power Now Assist, AI Agents, and the AI-driven experiences our customers rely on every day. We build AI as foundational platform infrastructure — prioritizing robustness, performance, safety, and real-world customer impact at scale.

Types of problemsyou’llget to work on

You will design, build, andoperateproduction-grade agentic AI systems embedded across ServiceNow's platform — autonomous agents that reason over real enterprise data,take actionacross workflows, and run safely at Fortune 500 scale.

Your core focus areas:

  • Agentic architecture.Design and ship multi-agent systems — orchestration, tool use, planning loops, memory, and failure recovery — thatoperatereliably in production, not in notebooks.
  • Enterprise-grounded reasoning.Build agents that leverage ServiceNow's data layer — CMDB, Workflow Data Fabric, and Knowledge Graph — to make decisions with context no frontier model has on its own.
  • Trust, safety, and governance.Own the guardrails: observability, human-in-the-loop controls, and compliance infrastructure that make autonomous systems safe to deploy at scale.
  • Retrieval and grounding.Work closely with our search team to ensure agents are grounded inaccurate, low-latency retrieval — RAG pipelines, hybrid search, re-ranking, and evaluation — as a critical dependencyofagentic quality.
  • Model integration and evaluation.Integrate frontier models (Anthropic, Google, OpenAI) into the Sense → Decide → Act → Govern architecture; evaluate trade-offs across cost, latency, and capability for production use cases.
  • Engineering leadership.Raise the technical bar through architecture decisions, code reviews, and coaching — particularly on agentic design patterns andproductionAI discipline.
Qualifications

To be successful in this role you have:

  • 8+ years of software engineering with strong fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and distributed systems.
  • Formal grounding in machine learning fundamentals — modeling, training, evaluation, and the principles behind modern deep learning, LLMs, and agent architectures.
  • Hands-on depth designing, shipping, and operating agentic systems in production — multi-agent orchestration, tool calling, planning loops, memory, and failure recovery. Not prototypes.
  • Proven experience building and operating production-grade, full-stack AI systems and services end to end — model integration, APIs, serving infrastructure, and the application layer.
  • Production-grade Python. Systems language (Go, Java, or C++) is a plus.
  • Working experience with frontier AI SDKs (Anthropic, Google, or OpenAI) — prompt engineering, structured outputs, and model evaluation in production settings.
  • Track record of technical leadership: architecture ownership, code quality bar-raising, and mentoring engineers on production AI practices.

Nice to Have

  • Specialization in search and retrieval at scale — RAG pipelines, hybrid search, vector stores, re-ranking, and retrieval evaluation — or MLOps/model observability.
  • Published work or open-source contributions in agentic systems or retrieval.
  • Exposure to LLM fine-tuning or inference optimization in production.

Why join us

Intelligence is commoditizing. Context and execution are not. With 100B+ workflows, 6.5T transactions a year, and 85% of the Fortune 500 on our platform, we are building the system that makes AI actually work inside the enterprise — Sense, Decide, Act, Govern.

What's shipping as we speak: AI Specialists autonomously resolving cases across IT, CRM, HR, and Security. Action Fabric opening our full system of action to any external agent via MCP — Anthropic's Claude Cowork is the first design partner. Project Arc with NVIDIA bringing governed autonomous desktop agents into production. Build Agent live inside Cursor, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot. AI Control Tower with kill-switch capabilities and cross-vendor agent governance. These are production systems at Fortune 500 scale, not roadmap slides.

You'd work across three problem spaces at the frontier of what we do:

Autonomous Enterprise: Self-driving business processes grounded in CMDB, Workflow Data Fabric, and Knowledge Graph — context no frontier lab can replicate,

Omni-channel AI Resolution: Production voice, chat, and computer-use agents with generative UI, live with customers today,

AI Control Tower: Identity, entitlements, and audit-grade compliance for every agentic system in the enterprise — nobody else has this layer.

You will build the substrate that connects all four: SENSE (any data) → DECIDE (any AI model) → ACT (any workflow) → GOVERN (identity + governance). The architectural inflection point is now.

For positions in this location, we offer a base pay of $201,300 - $352,300, plus equity (when applicable), variable/incentive compensation and benefits. Sales positions generally offer a competitive On Target Earnings (OTE) incentive compensation structure. Please note that the base pay shown is a guideline, and individual total compensation will vary based on factors such as qualifications, skill level, competencies, and work location. We also offer health plans, including flexible spending accounts, a 401(k) Plan with company match, ESPP, matching donations, a flexible time away plan and family leave programs. Compensation is based on the geographic location in which the role is located and is subject to change based on work location.
