This internship is not observational.

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
