What You’ll Do

• Design, prototype, and develop agentic AI workflows that automate or augment business or engineering tasks (for example, analysis, triage, documentation, and knowledge synthesis)
• Build internal tools or proof-of-concept systems that combine LLMs, APIs, and automation frameworks into end-to-end agentic solutions
• Experiment with different agent architectures (single-agent vs. multi-agent, planner/executor patterns, human-in-the-loop workflows) and document tradeoffs
• Apply best practices when building AI-driven automation
• Evaluate agent behavior for reliability, correctness, and failure modes, and propose improvements
• Clearly document designs, experiments, and lessons learned so work can be reused or extended by the team
• Demo your work directly to customers and the leadership team

What You’ll Need

• Currently pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Mathematics, Engineering, or a related technical field
• Experience programming in Python (for automation, prototyping, and scripting) and SQL
• Familiarity with APIs, JSON, and basic service integration
• Foundational understanding of large language models and how they are used in applications (prompting, tool use, retrieval, etc.)
• Strong curiosity and willingness to explore new, rapidly evolving technologies
• A growth mindset: you ask questions and enjoy experimenting and iterating
• Systems thinking: able to reason about workflows, edge cases, and unintended consequences
• Clear written and verbal communication, especially when explaining technical ideas to non-engineers
• Ownership mindset: you take responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks
• Ability to accept feedback and iterate quickly

Nice to Have

• Experience with or exposure to agentic frameworks (AWS Strands SDK, LangChain, etc.)
• Exposure to cloud platforms or containerized environments
• Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS preferred)
• Experience building internal tools, CLIs, or low-code web apps
