What you'll do
Build and improve pieces of the agent runtime: intent routing, query rewrite, RAG/FAQ answering, tool/skill orchestration (L0–L6 loop). Extend the Tool Server — add and optimize tools (web search, market data, report APIs), improve tool-call efficiency and output quality. Strengthen evaluation: write eval datasets and harnesses, measure intent-routing accuracy and answer quality, catch regressions before release Improve observability: traces, metrics, logging (Opik/Pinpoint), production dashboards and alerts. Fix bugs across the pipeline (routing, skill loading, guardrail false-triggers) and write integration tests with mock-LLM cassette replay.

Must-have
Solid Python and clean coding habits; comfortable in a real service codebase with CI, code review, and typing. Understanding of LLM application basics — prompting, RAG, tool/function calling, or agent frameworks (from coursework, projects, or internships). Able to reason about correctness and write tests; debug across async/services. Available for a sustained internship and eager to iterate quickly on feedback.

Nice-to-have
Experience with an agent framework (AgentScope / LangChain / LlamaIndex or similar). Familiarity with vector search / embeddings, evaluation frameworks (Opik, ragas), or LLM observability. Exposure to Kafka, Redis/Lindorm, S3, config systems (Apollo), or Docker/K8s. Interest in evaluation, guardrails/safety (prompt-attack defense), or latency/cost optimization. What you'll get Ship real features into a production AI agent used across the app. Mentorship from senior BE/DS/algo engineers; end-to-end ownership of scoped tasks. Hands-on exposure to the full modern LLM-app stack: RAG, tool servers, evals, LLMOps.
