About The Position
The Product Data Engineering Intern works alongside experienced engineers on American Family Insurance’s service-oriented data and AI platform, which supports teams across the company, including security and AI. The intern will build and deploy an AI agent, integrate it into a real workflow, and contribute to shared platform tools that help make future agent development easier. The intern is paired with a mentor engineer throughout the internship and will deliver working software and a final presentation. The summer internship is a 10- to 14-week program that starts in mid to late May and ends in August. Interns gain exposure to different areas of the business and have opportunities for networking and coaching. The position is based in Madison, Wisconsin, and is hybrid. New Employee Orientation is generally held in person at the Madison headquarters or another core AmFam location, though some sessions may be virtual depending on scheduling and availability.

- Contribute to a shared platform capability, such as evaluation, observability, or internal developer tooling.
- Follow team standards for code quality, testing, code review, and security, and write tests for shipped code.
- Help measure the effectiveness of an existing AI solution, including turning real failures into test cases and sharing findings with the team.
