Job summary

DV Trading in Chicago is offering a project‑focused internship for an AI engineer embedded on the DevOps team. You will work on internal production‑adjacent tooling, not customer‑facing ML models, reporting to the DevOps lead and partnering with internal technology teams.

Responsibilities include designing agent workflows, enabling observability for agents, and documenting experiments with strict governance and logging.

Qualifications

• Pursuing a BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field.
• Expected to graduate by Summer 2028.
• Hands‑on experience using AI tools (e.g. LLM APIs, assistants, or coding agents) in real projects; preferably experience building an agent (tools, orchestration, or similar—not only prompt‑only chat).
• Experience with RAG (retrieval design, chunking, evaluation, grounding, or production‑minded prototyping)—including applying it to real or simulated internal/knowledge‑base style data, not only public tutorials.
• Python for prototyping and integration; comfortable consuming and creating APIs and working with JSON; able to understand YAML for configs.
• Git workflow: branches, merge requests, meaningful commit messages.

Responsibilities

• Design and prototype agent workflows with tool use, policy boundaries, and human‑in‑the‑loop where appropriate.
• Collaborate with platform and service teams to make more observability and operational context available in a safe, governed way for agents.
• Document experiments, limitations, evaluation approach, and safety assumptions; ship changes via Git (branches, merge requests, meaningful commits).
