The Big Picture

This is a fully remote internship, though candidates based in North Carolina, especially those local to our operating area, are preferred. You will learn how to build AI harnesses, the tools and guardrails that allow AI models to query, write, modify, and delete data in a database. This is a hands on opportunity to build real AI engineering experience by designing the systems that connect AI models to the data a growing organization runs on.
