A day in the life of our Junior AI Engineer

We’re looking for a curious and ambitious AI Engineering Intern to join our team working at the frontier of applied AI in Requirements Management. This is a hands-on role where you’ll help build and evaluate real-world AI applications with immediate commercial impact. You’ll help design, develop, and deploy LLM-driven systems used by hardware product teams around the world, while learning how AI projects move from ideas to production inside a product-led development team.

• Building evaluation datasets and designing metrics to measure and improve the performance of AI-driven systems.
• Using tools like LangSmith and techniques such as LLM-as-a-judge or meta-prompting to build robust evaluation pipelines.
• Extending the test-suite, refining and running benchmarks on our AI systems.
• Participating in the full AI product lifecycle: from early-stage experimentation to deployment and continuous improvement.
• Collaborating with software engineers, product managers, and designers in an agile, sprint-based environment.

Who We’re Looking For

• Basic knowledge of prompt engineering and how LLM-based features are evaluated.
• Programming skills in Python to write tests and read code.
• Ability to execute tasks autonomously with an eye for detail and to ask for help when stuck.
• Quick learner to understand unfamiliar concepts and iterate towards working solutions
• Curiosity about how large language models can be applied to solve real-world problems.
• Education: Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field for bachelor’s degree Students or currently enrolled in Master’s Degree Program 
• Soft Skills: Strong problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
• Other: Eagerness to learn, attention to detail, organizational skills, and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment. 
• Please note that this is a 6-month paid internship, with the option to extend for another 6 months

Nice to have:

• Experience with LangChain, LangSmith, or similar LLM orchestrator/evaluation frameworks.
• Knowledge of major LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.).
• Exposure to data science concepts relevant to LLMs such as neural networks, loss functions, evaluation metrics.
• Understanding object-oriented programming and experience with data manipulation libraries.
• Understanding of version control (Git) and agile development processes.
