DESCRIPTION: 

As an AI Applications Intern, you’ll help design, prototype, and deliver real-world AI features for commercial clients. You’ll collaborate with BTI engineers and fellow interns, meet once per week as a group, and attend and present at customer demos to showcase progress and gather feedback.

• Write clean, well-documented Python/TypeScript code and contribute to shared repos.

• Prepare demo scripts, slides, and live walkthroughs; present your work during customer demos.

• Collaborate in a weekly intern stand-up/working session; proactively communicate status and blockers.

• Capture lessons learned and contribute to lightweight internal docs/playbooks.

Additional Duties:

• LLMs and prompt engineering (function/tool use, RAG basics).

• Comfortable with Python (or TypeScript/JavaScript) and Git/GitHub workflows.

• Basic understanding of machine learning or LLM concepts (fine-tuning vs. prompting, embeddings, evaluation).
