At Hayden AI, we are on a mission to harness the power of computer vision to transform the way transit systems and other government agencies address real-world challenges.
From bus lane and bus stop enforcement to transportation optimization technologies and beyond, our innovative mobile perception system empowers our clients to accelerate transit, enhance street safety, and drive toward a sustainable future.
The Platform team serves as the foundational layer that keeps Hayden's operations running reliably and at scale. This team is responsible for ensuring that Perception algorithms run smoothly across both purpose-built edge hardware and public cloud infrastructure. The team manages event processing, starting from device and ending at delivery to partners. It is also responsible for the fleet's health. Security, compliance, data governance, and data privacy is also within the responsibility of the Platform team.
As a Platform Engineering Intern at Hayden AI, youâll work on the foundational systems that power our entire product. This is not a sandbox role, you will contribute directly to the infrastructure, services, and data pipelines that ensure our Perception algorithms run reliably across edge devices and cloud environments.
You will partner closely with senior engineers to build and improve the systems that move data from devices in the field all the way through event processing and delivery to our partners. Your work may touch cloud services, backend systems, fleet health monitoring, data tooling, or internal platforms that support security, compliance, and governance.
This role is ideal for someone who wants to understand how large-scale AI systems operate in productionâfrom edge hardware to cloud infrastructureâand is excited by reliability, performance, and scalability challenges.
You will gain hands-on experience designing, building, testing, and deploying production-grade systems while learning how high-performing infrastructure teams operate.
This position is based in San Francisco and follows a hybrid schedule with at least 3 days in-office per week.
