About the role:

 As a AI Engineer Intern, you will contribute to build the data pipelines fuelling the leading Agentic AI product for biomedical researchers by optimising workflows, integrate new biological datasets, and develop new features within the team. You'll be working on a real-time system that integrates LLMs, tool-calling, and interactive UI elements, making sure our users can seamlessly engage with complex domain specific data.

This role requires integrating in a multi-disciplinary team (Software Engineers, Data Engineers, MLEngineers, Data Scientists) working on Owkin’s agentic product: K: Multimodal Context team. The team is responsible for providing the right information to the orchestration through tool calling.

The internship is expected to involve contributions across these different expertises in various parts of the product.

The internship will be supervised by a dedicated member of the team and the whole team will ensure to set it up for success.

• Experiment innovative improvements and Proofs of Concept on a sub-component of the product.

At the end of the internship, we expect you to:

• Make meaningful contributions to the codebase that directly impact the data production/integration into K,

• Define and implement cross-modality complex agentic workflows involving biological data,

• Write and review high-quality code respecting the industry standards (CI/CD workflows, linting, typing)
