  • Steel asks candidates to use AI coding tools and agents actively while retaining ownership of the software they produce.
  • Interns must be able to work in person from Steel's Toronto office. Previous internships, open-source contributions, infrastructure projects and experience with Linux, containers or distributed systems are listed as helpful rather than universal requirements.

Our editorial advice · not employer requirements

How to prepare a stronger application

Steel works on browser sessions, APIs and developer infrastructure. A focused project using containers, automation, an SDK or a reliable service is more relevant than a generic list of AI tools.

Be ready to show how you verify AI-generated code. Explain a case where a tool sped up exploration and a case where you found a correctness, security or performance problem yourself.
