Job Description
About the Software Engineering Intern - Maps SDK & AI Role at TomTom
We are looking for a Software Engineering Intern to join our Maps SDK JS team. In this role, you will help shape the AI‑assisted developer experience of the TomTom Maps SDK for JavaScript, focusing on how developers build real-world applications using our tools.
You will work at the intersection of SDK development, documentation, and AI-assisted coding, helping ensure that customer developers can successfully achieve their key use cases—both through traditional documentation and modern AI coding agents.
This is a hands-on, impact-driven role where curiosity, collaboration, and empathy for developers are essential.
What You'll Do as a Software Engineering Intern - Maps SDK & AI
- Improve the AI-assisted developer experience for the TomTom Maps SDK for JavaScript, with a focus on key application use cases.
- Review, refine, and enhance SDK documentation content and structure to ensure developers can easily achieve their goals.
- Identify gaps and opportunities in documentation when used in combination with AI coding assistants (prompt-based development).
- Help define and document the relationship between documentation and AI prompting, enabling better results when developers rely on AI tools.
- Collaborate closely with engineers and product managers to continuously improve the SDK and developer journey.
What You'll Need for this Internship
- Strong interest in JavaScript, web development, and developer tooling.
- Curiosity and a proactive mindset—you enjoy asking “What is the developer trying to achieve?” and working backwards from there.
- Interest in AI-assisted development, including how developers use AI agents to write, understand, and integrate code.
- Ability to think critically about documentation, examples, and developer workflows.
- A collaborative, team-oriented attitude, with good communication skills.
- Motivation to learn, experiment, and contribute in a fast-moving technical environment.
What You'll Gain from this Internship
- Hands-on experience working with a production-grade Maps SDK used by developers worldwide.
- Exposure to AI-driven developer experience design, a rapidly growing area of software engineering.
- Opportunities to collaborate with experienced engineers and product managers.
- A chance to directly influence how developers experience and adopt modern mapping and AI-enabled SDKs.
