AI Engineering Internship – Build, Scale & Innovate!

Why this internship?

At Atlan, we're looking for passionate problem-solvers eager to take on big challenges. If you love building, learning, and pushing boundaries, this is your chance to work on real-world problems alongside a talented and driven engineering team. We’re especially excited about AI-native builders — those who already use AI tools in their daily development for coding, debugging, testing, or learning new technologies.

We’re seeking candidates who have demonstrated their skills—whether through courses, open-source contributions, prior internships, or personal projects. At Atlan, interns don’t just learn—they build, innovate, and own impactful projects that shape the future of data and AI.

What makes this special

As an AI Engineering Intern, you will work on projects ranging from building advanced RAG pipelines for Conversational Search, to prototyping novel LLM applications, to creating AI agents that transform the developer experience. You could experiment with multi-agent orchestration, optimize AI infrastructure, or translate cutting-edge research into production-ready features — all with the goal of pushing what’s possible in AI-powered data governance.

What you’ll do as an intern at Atlan?

• Learn from experts with decades of experience.
• Understand customer needs, market dynamics, and what drives success.
• Get a chance to build AI-native systems and experiences — leveraging AI not just as a feature, but as a core part of how our product works and how users interact with it.

As an AI Engineering Intern, you’ll get the opportunity to work on one (or more) of these focus areas:

• AI Experimentation – Drive innovation through continuous experimentation with cutting-edge AI technologies. Build POCs, prototype novel AI applications, evaluate emerging tools and techniques, and translate research papers into working implementations that push the boundaries of what's possible with LLMs.
• Conversational Search & Advanced RAG – Build and optimize production RAG pipelines that power Conversational Search and beyond. Experiment with hybrid retrieval strategies, graph RAG, multi-modal search, and advanced techniques like HyDE, query decomposition, and self-reflective RAG to continuously improve how users discover and understand data.
• AI-Native Developer Experience – Pioneer Atlan's journey toward an AI-native SDLC by building specialized AI agents and MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that transform how our engineering team works—from intelligent code generation and automated testing to context-aware debugging and documentation.
• Agentic Systems & Orchestration – Design and implement experimental multi-agent workflows that can autonomously handle complex tasks. Build proof-of-concepts with frameworks like CrewAI, AutoGen, and LangGraph, exploring how AI agents can collaborate to solve data governance challenges.
• AI Platform & Infrastructure Innovation – Develop the foundational AI platform powering both product features and internal tools. Experiment with prompt optimization techniques.
