What you will do

• Own a scoped engineering project from problem definition through delivery.
• Build and test AI agents, copilots, and automated workflows that perform meaningful multi-step work.
• Connect agents to trusted data, services, and internal tools using retrieval, tool calling, and orchestration.
• Define agent autonomy and human handoff criteria, then evaluate reliability, failure modes, and real-world performance.
• Use AI coding tools while validating their output through testing, review, and engineering judgment.
• Write clean, tested, documented code and collaborate with engineers, mentors, and cross-functional partners.

Requirements

• Penultimate-year student, or final-year student planning to continue into a one-year master’s course.
• Permanent right to work in the UK; candidates on a student visa cannot be considered.
• Available for full-time work throughout the 12-week program from June to early September in Cambridge.
• Previous experience building AI agents and automated workflows, with interest in AI technologies.
• Currently enrolled in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related degree program.
• Proficiency in Python, ideally demonstrated through projects, open-source work, or hackathons beyond coursework.
• Hands-on experience building an LLM-powered or agentic system capable of multi-step work; experience used by others is preferred.
• Familiarity with grounding, retrieval, tool use, orchestration, memory, or conversational interfaces.
• Computer science fundamentals including data structures, algorithms, and operating systems or networking concepts, plus strong problem-solving and technical communication skills.
• Ability to break down ambiguous problems, deliver incrementally, check AI-generated work, and recognise when automation or human review is more appropriate.

Nice to have

• Experience with agentic engineering tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, MCP servers, custom skills, or agent frameworks.
• Experience building an LLM-powered or agentic system that has been used by someone other than the applicant.
• Proactive mindset, passion for continuous learning, and comfort with fast iteration.

Culture & Benefits

• Fast-paced, collaborative environment focused on problem-solving, pragmatic innovation, ownership, and delivering solutions to customers.
• AI-assisted development is used for drafts, analysis, repetitive workflows, coding, and productivity, with people retaining direction, judgment, and accountability.
• Paid 12-week internship with mentorship and meaningful project ownership.
• Benefits may include healthcare, life, accident, disability, commuter, retirement or pension options, statutory and voluntary benefits, mental health and financial wellness support, and time off under local policies.
