Software Engineer - Internship for AI SaaS Startup

Full Stack Engineering Internship
GovGPT | AI Platform for Government Contracting
Remote or Hybrid | High Growth Startup | Paid Internship

About GovGPT:

GovGPT is building the AI platform for government contracting.

Government contracting is a trillion dollar market that still runs on outdated portals, spreadsheets, PDFs, emails, and disconnected tools. Companies lose billions every year because they lack real automation, real intelligence, and real execution systems.

We are fixing that.

GovGPT is building the AI infrastructure layer for public sector procurement. We connect directly to government data sources and turn them into real-time decision intelligence. Our platform helps teams find contracts, run capture, generate proposals, price deals, and manage contracts inside one system.

What Salesforce did for sales and what Palantir did for data, GovGPT is doing for government contracting.

We are building enterprise-grade software for one of the largest markets in the world.
