Role
Who you are
- Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field
- A strong interest in pursuing a full-time software engineering role in 2027 — high-performing interns are eligible to receive a return offer
- AI tooling is already part of how you work — you use it to write, debug, and learn faster, and you know when to trust it vs. verify
- Passion for and understanding of Abridge's mission
- A curious, adaptable, and proactive mindset, with a desire to learn and grow in a fast-paced startup environment
- A collaborative, low-ego mindset — we move fast, and we need team players who are eager to contribute wherever needed
What the job involves
- We're looking for Software Engineering Interns to join Abridge's Engineering team for a 3-month internship program in Fall 2026, with the possibility of extension
- Ou'll collaborate with our engineering team to build and ship real-world features that translate cutting-edge language model capabilities into dependable clinical systems
- With mentorship and guidance, you'll gain hands-on experience designing, coding, and releasing AI-powered software that makes a meaningful impact on clinicians' workflows
- Design and build end-to-end features, enhancing our existing systems and contributing to agentic LLM workflows (retrieval pipelines, structured tool use, chained LLM calls)
- Fix user-facing bugs and issues, and make quality-of-life improvements across our backend and frontend systems
- Get hands-on with evaluation frameworks that measure accuracy, robustness, and clinical reliability
- Help prototype with new models, prompting techniques, and open-source orchestration tools (LangChain, LlamaIndex, etc.)
- Develop a strong user-centric mindset, building empathy for Abridge's clinicians and the challenges they face
- Collaborate across cross-functional product teams — design, product, machine learning, and infrastructure — to ship features to our customers
- Receive guidance from an experienced software engineering mentor, and collaborate one-on-one with teammates within your pod
Application process
- Once you submit your application, we'll follow up with details on how to request an accommodation for interviewing, completing any assessments, or otherwise participating in the selection process
Our take
Summarising key elements of healthcare conversations is crucial for both physicians and patients. Medical scribes, though effective, are costly, and the healthcare system faces funding and staffing crises. This has created a demand for more efficient notetaking solutions.
This is where Abridge comes in; it has developed a HIPAA-compliant AI platform that transcribes, structures, summarises, and provides insights from audio or transcripts of medical conversations. It claims to work across all specialities and offers patient-friendly summaries in easy-to-understand language.
Abridge aims to alleviate pressure on the healthcare system from the patient's perspective, a unique approach among healthtech startups. While companies like Inovia, DOUB, and DeepScribe focus on assisting physicians with medical transcription AI, they lack Abridge's patient-centric features, which are valuable in enhancing the patient experience. Its unique focus, then, is part of the reason why it enjoyed two impressive rounds of funding in 2025 alone.
