Responsibilities

• Assist in the design, development, and deployment of AI models and applications.

• Conduct research to stay updated with the latest advancements in AI and machine learning.

• Collaborate with senior engineers to integrate AI solutions into existing products and services.

• Participate in code reviews and contribute to maintaining high code quality.

• Help in data collection, preprocessing, and analysis for various AI projects.

• Document technical specifications and project progress.

Requirements

• Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Computer Engineering, AI-ML, or AI-DS from a top-tier institution (IIT, IISc, BITS, IIIT-Hyderabad/Delhi/Bangalore, ISI, top NITs, other NITs and IIITs, DTU, NSUT, Jadavpur, COEP, VJTI, PSG, Anna CEG, Thapar, Manipal, VIT).

• Exceptional candidates from non-computing backgrounds from top-tier institutes will also be considered.

• Demonstrable proof of work through contributions to open-source projects (GSoC, Outreachy, merged PRs), published packages, or projects with actual users.

• Strong academic performance, indicated by JEE/GATE rank, olympiad achievements, ICPC/Codeforces ratings, Kaggle standing, or a CGPA of 9+ (department topper preferred).

• Prior internships at research labs, product companies, or funded startups, with longer durations preferred.

• Hands-on experience with LLM work (agents, RAG, evals, fine-tuning) is a significant advantage, though strong fundamentals are prioritized for intern-level candidates.

• A public GitHub profile with readable repositories is mandatory for shortlisting.

• Proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., Python).

• Familiarity with AI/ML frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) is a plus.

• Excellent problem-solving skills and a keen interest in AI development.

• Ability to work effectively in a team environment.

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.

This internship supports the development and integration of AI models and applications, alongside research and project data work. You’ll work with senior engineers on product integration, code quality, and technical documentation while building practical AI experience.
