AI Intern

Internship Mumbai / Pune / Remote (India)

Hands-on work with LLM systems in production: prompt and agent design, retrieval pipelines, evaluation, and integration of AI into Vestval products and client workflows.

Apply for this role

What you'll do

  • Build and test LLM-powered workflows and agents
  • Construct retrieval pipelines (chunking, embeddings, ranking)
  • Run structured evaluations — measure quality, not vibes
  • Prototype AI features alongside product engineers
  • Document failure modes and propose mitigations
  • Help integrate AI features into Vestval AI, Learn or Flow

Required skills

  • Python proficiency
  • Working understanding of LLMs, embeddings and prompting
  • Comfort reading API docs and model cards
  • Bonus: LangChain/LlamaIndex-style tooling, vector databases

Preferred / bonus

  • Built a non-trivial RAG system or agent end-to-end
  • Experience with eval harnesses (Ragas, promptfoo, custom)
  • Comfort with at least one vector store (pgvector, Pinecone, Qdrant)
  • Statistical literacy — confidence intervals, sample sizes, bias awareness

Who should apply

People who have built something with an LLM API beyond a chat wrapper — an agent, a RAG system, an evaluation harness — and can explain its failure modes.

Ideal candidate profile

  • You distrust demos that aren't reproducible
  • You think in eval suites, not anecdotes
  • You can explain why your system fails as clearly as why it works
  • You treat hallucinations as a design problem, not a model defect

What you'll learn

  • Production-grade RAG: ingestion, chunking, ranking, freshness
  • Agent design patterns and their real failure modes
  • Evaluation methodology beyond accuracy numbers
  • Safety, privacy and cost trade-offs in deployed AI
