JOB SUMMARY

We are seeking an AI/ML Engineering Intern to support the design, development, and operational excellence of our Core Platform AI/ML services. You will work with engineering and product stakeholders to improve platform capabilities such as model/agent integration, evaluation, automation, and developer experience. This is a malleable role that can – to some extent – be shaped by mutual goals and expertise. 

Responsibilities:

The intern will contribute to AVID's AI platform across two workstreams: 

  • MCP Platform: production-hardening AVID's MCP server ecosystem and expanding the API surface AI assistants can act through 

  • AVID Apprentice, the new agentic AI runtime that sits across AVID products 

  • Day-to-day work will involve writing production Python, contributing to architectural discussions, and pairing with senior engineers. The work touches OAuth and service-mesh security, multi-provider LLM integration, temporal workflow authoring, evaluation tooling, observability, and the skill / role / action data layer that drives agent behavior.  

Minimum Qualifications 

  • Currently pursuing a BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or a related field. 

  • Proficiency in at least one general-purpose programming language. 

  • Comfort working with APIs, data structures, and basic software engineering practices (version control, code reviews, testing). 

  • Ability to learn quickly, communicate clearly, and collaborate in a team environment. 

  • Availability to work full-time (40 hours/week) for the duration of the internship (May 25–Aug 21). 

Preferred Qualifications 

  • Familiarity with LLM/GenAI concepts (prompting, RAG, embeddings, vector databases, evaluation methodologies). 

  • Understanding of data pipelines and storage systems (SQL, Spark, object storage). 

What to look forward to? 

  • Join a global team and experience a dynamic, collaborative work environment that fosters innovation and growth.
  • Remote work model offering flexibility to balance work and life.
  • Access to development programs with strong support and mentoring to help you grow and advance within the company.
  • Equal opportunity employer committed to diversity, inclusivity, and creating a welcoming environment for all employees.
  • Attractive benefits package including health & life insurance, referral rewards, and generous leave policies to ensure a healthy work-life balance.

Avid is an equal opportunity employer.

We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
