AI Engineer Intern

What You'll Be Doing •

Build and improve agent orchestration and multi-agent workflows.

•

Develop agentic applications for enterprise use cases using Continuum.

•

Work with different commercial and open-source models, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Llama, Qwen, Mistral, and others.

•

Improve intelligent model routing based on task complexity, quality, latency, and cost.

•

Build persistent memory and state-management capabilities for long-running agent workflows.

•

Develop tool-calling functionality and integrations with APIs, databases, and enterprise systems.

•

Work with MCP servers and function tools to connect agents with external services.

•

Design context-engineering and retrieval pipelines using vector and graph databases.

•

Implement AI guardrails for safety, security, access control, data privacy, and policy enforcement.

•

Create evaluation pipelines to measure accuracy, groundedness, hallucination, tool usage, workflow completion, latency, and cost.

•

Improve the observability and traceability of agent decisions, tool calls, and workflow execution.

•

Optimize prompts, model usage, token consumption, response time, and infrastructure costs.

•

Build APIs, backend services, and user-facing prototypes for agentic applications.

•

Write clean, reusable, well-tested, and documented Python code.

•

Contribute to Continuum’s open-source codebase, examples, documentation, and developer experience. What We Are Looking For •

Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.

•

Strong programming skills in Python.

•

Good understanding of machine learning, natural language processing, and LLM fundamentals.

•

Experience building at least one LLM-powered or agentic application.

•

Familiarity with prompt engineering, embeddings, RAG, tool calling, and structured outputs.

•

Experience working with APIs, Git, databases, and standard software engineering practices.

•

Ability to research complex technical problems, experiment with different approaches, and clearly communicate results.

•

Strong interest in building reliable AI systems, not just basic LLM demos Nice to Have •

Experience with agent frameworks such as LangGraph, LangChain, LlamaIndex, AutoGen, CrewAI, or similar technologies.

•

Familiarity with OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, AWS Bedrock, or open-source models.

•

Experience with vector databases such as Milvus, Pinecone, Weaviate, or Chroma.

•

Experience with graph databases such as Neo4j.

•

Knowledge of PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, Kubernetes, or cloud infrastructure.

•

Familiarity with AI observability and evaluation tools such as Langfuse.

•

Understanding of multi-tenancy, identity management, authorization, or enterprise security.

•

Experience with model routing, inference optimization, prompt compression, or cost optimization.

•

Contributions to open-source AI projects, research, hackathons, or technically strong personal projects. Hourly Pay • $20 - $30/Hr (CAD)
