Role Description

As an AI Applications Intern, you’ll help design, prototype, and deliver real-world AI features for commercial clients. You’ll collaborate with BTI engineers and fellow interns, meet once per week as a group, and attend and present at customer demos to showcase progress and gather feedback.

Responsibilities:

• Build and iterate on AI features (e.g., intelligent assistants, classifiers, retrieval pipelines, automations) for commercial use cases.
• Write clean, well-documented Python/TypeScript code and contribute to shared repos.
• Prepare demo scripts, slides, and live walkthroughs; present your work during customer demos.
• Evaluate models and prompts; run small experiments and track metrics (accuracy, latency, cost).
• Implement basic data handling best practices (PII awareness, logging, config/secrets hygiene).
• Collaborate in a weekly intern stand-up/working session; proactively communicate status and blockers.
• Capture lessons learned and contribute to lightweight internal docs/playbooks.

Additional Duties:

• LLMs and prompt engineering (function/tool use, RAG basics).
• Data wrangling (CSV/JSON/Parquet), simple ETL, vector stores.
• Cloud or app glue code (APIs, webhooks, small web UIs).
• Evaluation harnesses and simple dashboards.

Qualifications

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s in CS, CE, EE, Data/AI, or related field—or equivalent experience.
• Comfortable with Python (or TypeScript/JavaScript) and Git/GitHub workflows.
• Basic understanding of machine learning or LLM concepts (fine-tuning vs. prompting, embeddings, evaluation).
• Strong written and verbal communication; willing to present to customers.
• Able to commit ~10 hours/week and attend a weekly group meeting (time set with the cohort).

Benefits

• Competitive, comprehensive benefits package that includes healthcare coverage.
• Flexible spending accounts.
