Your Role
As AI Engineering Intern for our Competitive Intelligence team, you will help the Competitive Intelligence team members design, develop, test, fine-tune, and manage AI chatbots, agents, and apps that help make the team’s processes more automated, scalable, and intelligent.

This internship is not observational. As our AI Engineering Intern, you will design, build, and ship working AI-powered tools that will benefit 3,500+ Sales Representatives, support global Marketing campaigns, help refine key product roadmap decisions, keep our leadership informed of strategic market motions, and more. We will keep using your deliverables after the internship completion. You will also help us fine-tune existing AI tools.
By the end of your internship, you will have:
- Delivered at least 1 functioning resource creation agent

Qualifications
- Practical experience with Anthropic Claude Chat bots, Cowork projects, Code projects, and Design projects — not just coursework but actual hands-on Claude experience
- Working knowledge of agentic/tool use patterns (function calling, RAG, basic orchestration) — doesn't need to be an expert, but shouldn't be learning what an agent is on day one
- Exposure to evaluating LLM output quality — building a test set, scoring responses, and determining whether a prompt change helped
- Exposure to version control basics, so work is recoverable and reviewable
- Python proficiency; comfortable with API integration, data parsing, and basic pipeline construction
- SQL exposure; able to read and modify a trivial transformation query
- Ability to work with ambiguous, evolving requirements and iterate quickly on a 10-week clock — this is not a spec-handed-to-you internship
- Comfortable interviewing subject-matter experts (analysts) to reverse-engineer a workflow before automating it
- Rising Junior or Senior pursuing a Bachelor’s degree or a graduate student in an accredited college or university in AI engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, Information Systems, or related field
- Excellent written, verbal and communication skills
- Willingness to learn about technology
- Proficiency in Windows and Microsoft Office.
- Ability to work independently with limited direction in a fast-paced environment; must be a high-energy, motivated self-starter
