An AI Engineer Intern will support the research, development, and evaluation of artificial intelligence solutions designed to improve mortgage operations, including loan origination, servicing, workflow efficiency, and customer experiences.
In this role, you will apply foundational knowledge of machine learning, neural networks, Transformer architectures, large language models (LLMs), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and agentic AI systems to real-world business challenges. Working alongside experienced engineers and business stakeholders, you will research technical approaches, develop prototypes, test and evaluate AI systems, and help determine where AI can meaningfully improve processes and reduce manual effort.

DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES 

• Research & Develop AI Solutions – Explore and prototype AI/ML solutions that improve business processes and customer experiences 

• Automate Repetitive Tasks – Identify opportunities to apply AI and automation to reduce manual effort 

• Build & Improve AI Workflows – Assist in developing LLM, RAG, agentic, and traditional machine learning workflows 

• Test & Evaluate Solutions – Evaluate AI outputs for accuracy, reliability, performance, and appropriate business use 

• Support Responsible AI – Assist with safeguards, testing, documentation, and human-in-the-loop processes 

• Collaborate Across Teams – Work with technical and business stakeholders to understand problems and develop appropriate solutions 

• Research Emerging Technology – Stay current with developments in AI, machine learning, LLMs, and related technologies and evaluate their potential application 

• Basic to intermediate programming proficiency in Python and familiarity with software development concepts  

• Foundational understanding of machine learning, including supervised/unsupervised learning, training and validation, loss functions, optimization, overfitting, generalization, and model evaluation  

• Foundational understanding of neural networks and deep learning, including layers, weights, activation functions, forward propagation, backpropagation, and gradient-based learning  

• Ability to explain the fundamentals of Transformer architectures, including attention/self-attention, tokens, embeddings, context windows, and autoregressive generation  

• Understanding of tokenization and embeddings, including how text is represented for LLMs and how embeddings support semantic search and retrieval  

• Familiarity with large language models (LLMs), including pretraining, inference, prompting/context engineering, tool calling, model limitations, hallucinations, and evaluation  

• Familiarity with RAG, fine-tuning, and model adaptation, including the high-level differences between prompting, retrieval, and fine-tuning approaches  

• Interest in AI agents and agentic workflows, including tool use, state, memory, routing, and orchestration; exposure to LangGraph, LangChain, or similar frameworks is a plus  

• Exposure to AI/ML libraries or frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face, scikit-learn, NumPy, or pandas is preferred  

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and technical research skills with the ability to explain how and why an AI system works, not simply how to use it 

EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE 

• Currently pursuing a bachelor's or graduate degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related technical discipline  

• Relevant coursework in artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, algorithms, statistics, probability, linear algebra, or calculus is preferred  

• Foundational understanding of the mathematical and computational principles underlying modern AI and machine learning  

• Experience through coursework, research, independent study, personal projects, hackathons, open-source contributions, or previous internships is welcomed  

• Demonstrated ability to research technical concepts, experiment with different approaches, evaluate results, and clearly communicate findings  

• A GitHub profile, AI/ML project, research project, technical portfolio, or similar demonstration of technical work is preferred  

• Prior professional AI engineering or machine learning experience is not required 

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and positions are open until filled (this may be prior to the job posting expiration date).
