About The Role

As an Applied AI Engineer Intern, you’ll be embedded directly with our Engineering team, working hands-on on one of our most ambitious initiatives: an AI-first product built from the ground up. This isn’t a “run reports and sit in meetings” internship; you’ll be writing real code, experimenting with cutting-edge AI/ML models, and solving hard problems that directly impact how lenders and borrowers experience our platform.

You’ll collaborate closely with engineering and product members to design and ship AI-driven features, optimize model performance, and help establish the technical foundation for a product that’s redefining what a modern SaaS lending platform can do. If you’re excited about applying large language models, building intelligent pipelines, and seeing your work go to production, this is the internship for you.
