You will work with experienced ML/NLP engineers, researchers and software developers, and architects, getting to know the insides of a cutting-edge ML production environment.

What You'll Do as an AI Intern

• Assist in building, testing, and evaluating components of RAG pipelines (e.g., document processing, embedding, retrieval, answer generation).
• Experiment with LLMs and help integrate them into agentic workflows.
• Support the team in evaluating relevant recently released research.
• Learn best practices in software engineering and NLP deployment.
• Contribute to internal documentation and tooling.

Your Profile

• Excellent communication and team collaboration skills.
• Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• Some experience with Python and passionate about NLP or ML.
• Eager to learn about LLMs, RAG, and agentic systems.
