Software Engineer Intern (Remote) at AlteraSF

Job Description

AlteraSF is an AI-first startup reimagining how companies evaluate and hire talent. Our mission is simple but radical: to replace résumé guesswork with verified truth and measurable fit. We build intelligent screening and analytics tools that help organizations detect résumé exaggeration, identify true capability, and dramatically reduce recruiter workload, all without adding complexity to existing hiring workflows.

At AlteraSF, we’re not just building another recruiting tool. We’re redefining hiring integrity. Our platform helps employers find who can actually do the work, not just claim it on paper.

Role Overview

This is not a passive or observational internship. You will write production code, participate in technical decisions, and see your work go live.
