What are the responsibilities and job description for the AI Fellow position at Medical Air Services Association, Inc?
Description
AI Fellow: Build, Don't Wait
12-24-month fellowship · Recent CS, MIS, or equivalent STEM grads · No experience required
You spent four years learning to build things. The job market would like you to spend the next two learning to be patient because you have no experience.
We disagree.
What this AI Fellow actually is
We're standing up an enterprise-wide AI Builder Community--a flat, cross-functional group of people who ship AI-native solutions for a real business. Direct access to decision-makers and business leaders. Less process for process's sake. More building, testing, and learning. No "junior dev" purgatory.
The AI Fellows Program is the engine. We're hiring ambitious recent grads who would rather build something real than refresh their inbox.
You'll work alongside:
- Business operators who know the problem cold
- Senior engineers who'll teach you what GitHub won't
- AI practitioners, consultants, and technical experts from leading AI organizations
- Citizen developers from every corner of the company
- Other Fellows who are just as hungry as you
Together, you'll ship agents, copilots, workflow automations, voice AI, decision intelligence--real systems that move real numbers (revenue, member experience, operating cost) for a real business.

Why this fellowship is different
- Sponsored by MASA's executive leadership team, including direct visibility to senior leaders throughout the program.
- Opportunities to regularly present ideas, pilots, and business outcomes to executives.
- Hands-on experience helping shape how a growing enterprise adopts AI in real-world business environments.[RH2]
What you'll actually do
- Build production AI solutions using Claude Code, Claude Cowork, MCP servers, RAG pipelines, and whatever drops next Tuesday.
- Work across operational departments (sales, claims, member experience, ops, cyber, finance) so you learn how a real business runs--not just how code compiles.
- Prototype fast, demo monthly, ship continuously.
- Contribute to an internal AI marketplace where your work gets reused across the enterprise--your name on assets the whole company uses.
- Participate in hackathons, demo days, and a builder culture that treats experimentation as the job, not a side quest.
The mindset we're hiring for
This role is not about how much you already know. It's about how you think. We're looking for people who:
- Learn faster than the docs update
- Treat AI as a teammate, not a threat
- Have built side projects that taught them more than their degree
- Would rather fix the problem than file the ticket
- See process as something to question, not worship
- Take feedback like oxygen
- Get genuinely curious about how a business works
- Default to shipping over debating
If you've ever spent a weekend building something nobody asked for because you wanted to see if it would work--keep reading.
What we don't require
- "Years of experience" (you graduated last semester)
- A CS degree from a specific school
- Specific framework knowledge
- Prior internships
- A polished LinkedIn
- A perfect GPA
What we do require
- A recent degree in CS, computer engineering, math, data science, or a related technical field.
- Receipts. A GitHub, a side project, a Hugging Face space, a hackathon submission, a Discord bot, a Chrome extension you built for fun--anything that shows you actually build, not just study.
- Real fluency with AI tools as daily collaborators (not just "I've used ChatGPT").
- Curiosity about the business, not just the code.
- The ability to disagree, push back, propose, and operate without handholding.
- Authorization to work in the United States.
The program
- A Structured 12-24-month fellowship, providing hands-on experience implementing AI solutions across multiple business functions and operational environments.
- Embedded in real business teams from week one--no "training sandbox" for six months.
- Full salary, full benefits, real role from day one.
- Demo Days, quarterly hackathons, internal AI Innovation Fund for your wildest ideas.

You'll also receive a complimentary MASA Emergent Plus membership for you and your family while enjoying a professional and friendly culture united by a clear mission: Protecting families with compassion when others don't.
