About Presto Phoenix, Inc.
Presto is the leading Voice AI company for restaurant drive-thrus, operating at scale in complex, noisy, customer-facing environments. As the AI partner to more than a dozen of the most iconic American restaurant brands, Presto is building one of the most impactful real-world applications of AI directly impacting revenue, labor efficiency, and guest experience for millions of people.
AI is not a feature at Presto it is the foundation of how we build, evaluate, and evolve our products. We are backed by Remus Capital, were a Y Combinator company, and are headquartered in Silicon Valley.
This may not be the right fit if you're looking for a passive, low-ownership internship. We move at the pace of AI. Presto is for builders, experimenters, and problem-solvers who thrive in ambiguity and are excited to work on real-world AI systems alongside a high-performance team.
The Role
We are looking for AI Engineering Interns to contribute to the core intelligence behind Presto's Voice AI platform.
This is a hands-on technical internship at the intersection of large language models, real-time systems, and production AI. You will work on systems that power live customer interactions across thousands of restaurant locations, where performance, latency, and reliability matter. You'll gain direct exposure to the full AI development lifecycle — from prototyping new capabilities to supporting production deployments.
