AI Apprentice (Intern)

About the Role

Join the team behind SynaptyX AI's agentic orchestration platform, which integrates accelerators across AI Strategy, Data Intelligence, and Analytics. You will work on client-facing accelerators, starting with well-scoped tasks and expanding your responsibilities as you demonstrate capability. Work is reviewed, explained, and shipped.

What You’ll Work On

• Building and improving AI agent workflows in Python, using LangChain and LangGraph.
• Building agent tools and skills, and connecting agents to data and external systems.
• Building and integrating MCP servers and clients.
• Writing tests and evals to ensure AI answer accuracy and reliability.
• Writing backend APIs built with FastAPI.
• Using AI-assisted coding tools daily, with proper discipline.
• Learning how AI products are deployed and monitored.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Solid Python and FastAPI fundamentals: ability to read, debug, and structure unfamiliar code.
• Hands-on project work with LangChain or LangGraph (coursework, personal projects, or internships are acceptable).
• Clear understanding of how an LLM application differs from a single prompt, including concepts like tools, state, memory, and retries.
• Working knowledge of SQL and REST APIs.
• Comfort with Git and the command line.
• Regular use of AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot or similar), with strict adherence to best practices:
• Reading and understanding all changes before committing.
• Providing small, well-scoped tasks with sufficient context to the tool.
• Writing or running tests to verify tool output.
• Never pasting secrets or client data into a tool.
• Ability to explain any submitted code line.
• Willingness to read documentation and source code.

Qualifications (Bonus Points)

• Prior experience building an agent, a RAG pipeline, or an MCP server.
• Experience with Docker and any cloud platform (AWS, Azure, etc.).
• Experience with evals, LLM-as-judge, or measuring answer quality.
• Familiarity with deep agent skills, including OpenSearch, Redis, Postgres.

Don't Apply If

• You have only run notebooks and never built usable software for others.
• You prefer copying errors to reading them.
• You accept AI-generated code without review.
• You are seeking a research role without engineering components.

What You’ll Get

• Real production work, not a side project.
• A small, supportive team that provides context.
• Clear mentorship and regular feedback.
• A potential path to a full-time role based on performance.
