We're seeking an AI Intern to support the design, development, and operationalization of Generative AI and machine learning solutions. This internship will focus on building AI-powered applications and product features, contributing to MLOps workflows, and helping deploy and monitor models in an AWS environment. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with Python and foundational ML/GenAI concepts, and is eager to learn how production AI systems are built and maintained.

Why you'll love this role:

As an SWBC intern, you will be learning on the job in real-time from talented professionals within the financial services industry. We will develop, teach, mentor, and support your efforts throughout the internship. Our interns are given projects that are impactful and meaningful to SWBC, so interns will feel they are a valued team member of our SWBC family.

Essential duties include the following:

• Build AI-enabled applications and prototypes leveraging generative AI and ML capabilities (e.g., retrieval-augmented generation, summarization, classification).
• Assist with MLOps pipelines: data/model versioning, training workflows, evaluation, packaging, and deployment processes.
• Support deployment and operations of models/services on AWS, including environment setup, basic CI/CD integration, and operational readiness tasks.
• Develop and maintain Python components such as APIs, inference services, evaluation scripts, and tooling.
• Participate in model testing and evaluation, including prompt experiments, performance benchmarking, and quality monitoring.
• Help document designs, experiments, and results; contribute to team standards and best practices.
• Collaborate with engineers and product stakeholders to translate requirements into deliverable AI features.

Serious candidates will possess the minimum qualifications:

• Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or a related field (undergraduate or graduate welcome).

• Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively in a corporate, cross-functional environment.
• Exposure to MLOps tools and practices (CI/CD, model registries, experiment tracking, monitoring).
• Experience with LLM application patterns, such as: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), Prompt engineering, prompt evaluation, guardrails
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker) and orchestration concepts.
• Understanding of software engineering fundamentals (unit tests, code reviews, documentation).
• Deliver working prototypes or production-ready components that demonstrate measurable improvements (e.g., faster iteration, higher quality responses, improved reliability).
