SAP iXp Intern - Full-Stack AI Developer

SAP • Stanford, CA

14d • $15 - $62 • Hybrid

About The Position

The SAP Internship Experience Program (iXp) is SAP’s global, strategic, paid internship program that provides university students with opportunities to find purpose in their careers. This is more than an internship; it’s the foundation for a career built on connection, creativity, and impact. The intern will assist in designing, developing, and implementing Generative AI applications within the SAP ecosystem, including front-end, back-end, AI model, and enterprise data integration. They will develop Generative AI use cases such as intelligent agents, enterprise search, summarization, content generation, and workflow automation. The role involves building retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) solutions using embeddings, semantic search, and SAP HANA Cloud vector capabilities. Interns will use SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), SAP AI Core, and the generative AI hub to integrate and manage foundation models. They will design and optimize prompts, structured outputs, and model orchestration workflows for enterprise business scenarios. The position requires implementing back-end services using Python, Node.js, or Java and integrating large language models with SAP and third-party APIs. Additionally, interns will develop responsive, user-friendly interfaces for AI-powered applications using SAP Fiori, SAPUI5, or modern front-end frameworks. A key responsibility is evaluating Generative AI solutions for accuracy, relevance, reliability, latency, and cost, and helping implement guardrails to reduce hallucinations and unsafe outputs. The intern will participate in code reviews, debugging, testing, and AI evaluation to ensure high-quality performance and functionality, and collaborate with cross-functional teams, including product, design, data science, and development teams, to align on project requirements and deliverables.
