AI Engineer Intern - Summer 2027

DV Trading LLC is a proprietary financial trading and market-making firm. The AI Engineer Intern will work on the DevOps team to prototype internal AI tooling for alert response, retrieval-augmented generation, operational Q&A, and carefully governed agentic remediation. The role also involves collaboration with platform teams, documentation, evaluation, safety controls, and Git-based delivery.

What you'll do:

• Design and prototype agent workflows with tool use, policy boundaries, and human-in-the-loop where appropriate
• Collaborate with platform and service teams to make more observability and operational context available in a safe, governed way for agents
• Document experiments, limitations, evaluation approach, and safety assumptions; ship changes via Git (branches, merge requests, meaningful commits)

What they're looking for:

• Pursuing a BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field
• Expected to graduate by **Summer 2028**
• Hands-on experience using AI tools (e.g. LLM APIs, assistants, or coding agents) in real projects
• Experience with RAG (retrieval design, chunking, evaluation, grounding, or production-minded prototyping)—including applying it to real or simulated internal/knowledge-base style data, not only public tutorials
• Python for prototyping and integration; comfortable consuming and creating APIs and working with JSON; able to understand YAML for configs
• Git workflow: branches, merge requests, meaningful commit messages
• Strong judgment on data handling: no secrets in prompts/logs, minimize sensitive data, follow internal policies
• Preferably experience building an agent (tools, orchestration, or similar—not only prompt-only chat)
• Linux fundamentals (shell, processes, logs, permissions, basic troubleshooting)
• Networking basics: DNS, TCP/HTTP/S, ports, load balancing vs Ingress at a conceptual level
• Kubernetes fundamentals: debugging, pods, services, ingress Coursework or projects involving Kubernetes, Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry, CI/CD, Terraform/Ansible, or cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure)
