Job summary

Binance Accelerator Program (BAP) interns join Binance AI Pro to build AI-native experiences and the Agent Runtime behind them. As a Backend Engineer Intern, you’ll contribute to intent routing, tool orchestration, evaluation, and production-ready pipelines, collaborating with experienced engineers across backend, data science, and algorithms.

You’ll turn ideas from prototype to production, gain hands-on exposure to the modern LLM app stack, and ship real features used by Binance users.

Qualifications

• Strong Python programming skills and solid software engineering fundamentals.
• Strong understanding of algorithms, data structures, and problem solving; able to reason about system behavior and trade-offs.
• Hands-on experience with LLM applications or Agent systems, through research, coursework, internships, or projects.
• Familiarity with concepts such as RAG, Tool Calling, Function Calling, Prompting, Agent workflows, or LLM evaluation.
• Able to work comfortably with real codebases, APIs, asynchronous services, testing, CI/CD, and code review.
• Strong debugging and analytical ability, with a mindset of "understand why it fails, not just make it work."

Responsibilities

• Build and improve core components of the Agent Runtime, including routing, query rewriting, RAG, tool/skill orchestration, and multi-step workflows.
• Design and optimize Tool Server / Tool Calling capabilities with web search, market data, and internal services integration.
• Develop evaluation datasets and harnesses to measure routing accuracy, answer quality, tool-use performance, and reliability.
• Investigate and improve Agent quality, including failure analysis, regression detection, and guardrail effectiveness.
• Improve system observability and reliability with tracing, metrics, logging, dashboards, and production monitoring.
• Debug issues across asynchronous services and agent pipelines, and build integration tests with mocked LLM responses.
• Work closely with Backend, Data Science, and Algorithm engineers to experiment, benchmark, and deploy AI capabilities.

About The Team

Binance AI Pro is building the next generation of AI-native experiences within Binance.

At the core of AI Pro is an agentic system that can understand user intent, reason through multi-step tasks, retrieve information, call tools, and safely execute actions across Binance's ecosystem.

As a Backend Engineer Intern, you'll work directly on the Agent Runtime and AI infrastructure behind these experiences — from intent routing and tool orchestration to evaluation, observability, and reliability. We're looking for strong technical students who enjoy going deep — people who are excited by LLM Agents, systems, algorithms, and experimentation, and wants to work on real production AI systems alongside experienced Backend, Data Science, and Algorithm engineers.

You will have the opportunity to turn ideas from prototype → benchmark → production, and see your work directly impact how AI Pro behaves at scale.

Responsibilities

• Build and improve core components of the Agent Runtime, including intent routing, query rewriting, RAG, tool/skill orchestration, and multi-step agent workflows.
• Design and optimize Tool Server / Tool Calling capabilities, including tool discovery, execution, result handling, and integration with web search, market data, and internal services.
• Develop evaluation datasets and evaluation harnesses to measure routing accuracy, answer quality, tool-use performance, and agent reliability.
• Investigate and improve Agent quality, including failure analysis, regression detection, prompt / workflow optimization, and guardrail effectiveness.
• Improve system observability and reliability through tracing, metrics, logging, dashboards, and production monitoring.
• Debug issues across asynchronous services and agent pipelines, and build integration tests using mocked LLM responses and replayable evaluation cases.
• Work closely with Backend, Data Science, and Algorithm engineers to experiment, benchmark, and bring AI capabilities into production.

Requirements (Must Have)

• Strong Python programming skills and solid software engineering fundamentals.
• Strong understanding of algorithms, data structures, and problem solving; able to reason about system behavior and trade-offs.
• Hands‑on experience with LLM applications or Agent systems, through research, coursework, internships, or projects.
• Familiarity with concepts such as RAG, Tool Calling, Function Calling, Prompting, Agent workflows, or LLM evaluation.
• Able to work comfortably with real codebases, APIs, asynchronous services, testing, CI/CD, and code review.
• Strong debugging and analytical ability, with a mindset of "understand why it fails, not just make it work."

Nice-to-have

• Experience with Agent frameworks such as LangGraph, LangChain, AgentScope, LlamaIndex, or similar.
• Experience with MCP / Tool ecosystems / Agent Runtime.
• Experience building Benchmark / Evaluation / LLM testing infrastructure.
• Familiarity with vector search, embeddings, RAG evaluation, or LLM observability.
• Experience with Redis, Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes, or cloud-native systems.
• Exposure to LLM security, guardrails, prompt-injection defense, or tool-use safety.
• Experience with model inference, latency optimization, or cost optimization.

What You'll Get

• Ship real features to a production AI Agent used by Binance users.
• Work on the Agent Runtime and AI infrastructure, rather than only application-layer development.
• Learn from senior Backend, Data Science and Algorithm engineers.
• Gain hands-on experience across the modern LLM application stack: Agent Runtime, RAG, Tool Calling, Evaluation, LLMOps and AI Safety.
• Own meaningful engineering projects end-to-end, from problem definition → implementation → evaluation → production.

Why Binance

• Shape the future with the world’s leading blockchain ecosystem
• Collaborate with world-class talent in a user-centric global organization with a flat structure
• Tackle unique, fast-paced projects with autonomy in an innovative environment
• Thrive in a results-driven workplace with opportunities for career growth and continuous learning
• Competitive salary and company benefits
• Work-from-home arrangement (the arrangement may vary depending on the work nature of the business team)
