Artificial intelligence (AI) Engineer Intern

Pindrop

5h • Remote

About The Position

As an AI Engineering Intern, you will be at the forefront of applying generative AI to enhance Pindrop’s internal operations and engineering productivity. You will work closely with senior engineers to turn manual processes into intelligent, automated workflows. This role involves exploring and building proof-of-concept AI agents to automate complex internal engineering workflows, developing and optimizing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, collaborating with cross-functional teams to implement AI-driven fixes, and testing and documenting emerging AI-assisted coding and monitoring tools. You will also participate in security-minded engineering, ensuring automated workflows follow strict data hygiene and secrets management protocols.

Requirements

• Current Student: Pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, or a related technical field.
• Python Proficiency: Strong working knowledge of Python for automation and data processing.
• AI Fundamentals: Demonstrated interest or project experience in AI/ML, specifically involving Large Language Models (LLMs) and prompt engineering.
• Version Control: Familiarity with Git workflows.

Nice To Haves

• RAG Experience: Hands-on experience building small ML pipelines or experimenting with vector databases (e.g., FAISS) and RAG frameworks.
• Cloud Exposure: Foundational experience with AWS or GCP services (e.g., Lambda, S3, or SageMaker).
• Automation Tools: Exposure to CI/CD concepts or infrastructure-as-code (e.g., GitHub Actions, Docker).

Responsibilities

• Explore and build proof-of-concept AI agents to automate complex internal engineering workflows, such as incident analysis or code review summaries.
• Develop and optimize Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines to enable "chat with your data" capabilities for internal technical documentation and runbooks.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify operational bottlenecks and implement AI-driven fixes that improve efficiency and performance.
• Test and document the use of emerging AI-assisted coding and monitoring tools to determine their viability for the broader engineering organization.
• Participate in security-minded engineering, ensuring that automated workflows follow strict data hygiene and secrets management protocols.

Benefits

• Gain hands-on experience in a modern environment, working alongside some of the best technical minds in security, AI, and voice intelligence.
• Career-defining opportunity for someone ready to drive meaningful, enterprise-level AI impact.
