Requirements

• Currently enrolled in a master's program, or in the third or fourth year of a bachelor's program, in computer science, mathematics, data science or industrial engineering in the United States.
• Available to continue part-time, remotely, for about six months after the summer, alongside your studies.
• Intern must have reliable transportation to and from the worksite during the summer.
• Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without company sponsorship now and in the future.
• Python you've shipped: a project someone else can run, with git and tests. Include a link with your application.
• Hands-on experience building with LLMs: model APIs, tool calling, structured outputs.
• SQL, including joins across multiple tables.
• A working understanding of REST APIs and JSON.

Nice To Haves

Responsibilities

• Building the AI layer's agents, tools and data connectors in Python, reading from our business systems through APIs and SQL.
• Designing agent flows in LangGraph or a comparable framework, with human approval built in. You'll work with read-only access and sandbox environments; nothing writes to a live system without human approval.
• Determining the right retrieval for each question: a database query, an API call or a document search, and knowing which one fits.
• Building evaluation sets, measuring whether answers are right, and improving them.
• Shipping small pieces every week and demoing them to the team and to business users.
• Using AI coding assistants openly, and being able to explain every line you commit.
• Writing up what you build and learn so the next person can pick it up.
