AI Engineering Intern - 6 months
Singapore, SG
What it's about
As an AI Engineering Intern in our AI Pods, you'll get hands-on experience working alongside experienced engineers at the heart of the business, helping to explore, prototype, and deliver real AI solutions. You'll contribute to building LLM-powered products—learning how ideas move from discovery to first value, and how successful solutions are scaled through reusable components and strong governance over trusted, AI-ready data. What makes this internship exciting is the mix of real business exposure and advanced applied AI (RAG, agents, extraction, evaluation), all within a highly collaborative, agile environment where responsible AI, data governance, and risk controls are part of everyday practice from day one.
Key responsibilities
- Support the team in identifying and exploring potential AI use cases, including basic research to inform buy-vs-build discussions.
- Assist in designing and delivering AI prototypes, contributing across problem definition, experimentation, and pilot stages.
- Help build AI-powered features and components under the guidance of senior engineers.
- Contribute to the development of datasets, retrieval pipelines, and reasoning workflows across different business functionalities.
- Explore integrations with vendor AI platforms and internal AI solutions, learning to reuse existing capabilities where possible.
- Help instrument solutions to track adoption, quality, and performance metrics.
- Collaborate with the technology team to learn how secure, compliant, and supportable solutions are built.
- Currently pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor's in Computer Science, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning, Software Engineering, or a related discipline.
- Interest in the financial industry and a curiosity to learn about financial markets (prior exposure is a plus, not a requirement).
- Some practical experience with ML/AI concepts through coursework, personal projects, hackathons, internships, or open-source contributions.
- Awareness of cloud platforms (AWS preferred); any AWS learning paths or certifications are a plus.
- Working proficiency in a modern programming language, ideally Python.
- Familiarity with databases such as PostgreSQL, MS SQL, Snowflake, or similar—through coursework or projects.
- Foundational understanding of how to build software applications (e.g., Python, APIs, basic system integration, testing).
- Exposure to teamwork on software projects, with an appreciation for code quality, good design, and collaboration.
- Familiarity with the software development lifecycle, version control (e.g., Git), and an interest in modern DevOps practices.
- Ability to break down ambiguous problems into smaller tasks and communicate progress clearly.
- Awareness of the importance of working responsibly with sensitive/confidential data, and a willingness to learn about governance, risk, and security practices.
- Strong collaboration and communication skills—comfortable asking questions and working with people across business and technology teams.
- Driven, curious, self-starter with an inclusive, team-oriented mindset and eagerness to learn.
