We are looking for an undergraduate Agentic AI Engineering Intern for a fixed-scope, fixed-fee 1099 internship contract. This internship is 100% remote in the United States.
Qualification for this opportunity requires completion of a demo project and at least 10 hours of synchronous meeting availability between 1:00 PM and 5:00 Central Time on weekdays, for the next 6 months.
This role is not open to
- Individuals on CPT/OPT/EAD
- Recruiters
- Agencies
- Consulting companies
- C2C arrangements
This role may be a good fit if
- You are comfortable working 100% remotely as part of a distributed team
- You excel at designing autonomous systems that don't just follow "if-this-then-that" rules, but can reason through complex tasks using LLMs
- Your work products demonstrate a high level of attention to detail and the ability to see the big picture
- Your aptitude, mindset, and ability to learn quickly make up for shortcomings in your current skill set
- You resonate with MDP's core values:
- ....... 1. High performance, engagement, and reliability
- ....... 2. Proper prioritization, timeliness, and risk mitigation
- ....... 3. Outcome ownership, accountability, and meritocracy
- ....... 4. Systems thinking, modularity, and automation
- ....... 5. Excellence in execution and hyper-detail orientation
- ....... 6. Documentation and asynchronous work
- ....... 7. Resourceful initiative
This role may require you to
- Design and implement custom autonomous agent architectures using Python and Google Cloud infrastructure
- Leverage Gemini CLI and Claude Code to accelerate development cycles and orchestrate complex agentic task execution
- Build bespoke reasoning loops and decision-making logic to solve open-ended problems without relying on pre-built low-code platforms
- Integrate diverse data sources and external services into a cohesive system via robust, Python-based middleware
- Debug and refine non-deterministic agent behaviors to ensure reliability, safety, and alignment with user goals
- Architect modular systems where agents can autonomously select and use the correct tools for a given task
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, implement, deploy, and scale AI solutions within a cloud-native environment
- Document system designs, source code, workflow designs, research, development plans, and engineering standards to enable solution modularity, reproducibility, portability, collaboration, and knowledge sharing
- Collaborate with teammates using Slack, Notion, Google Meet, and/or other software
An ideal candidate has
- Strong proficiency in Python with a focus on writing clean, scalable, and highly modular code
- Practical experience deploying and managing applications within the Google Cloud ecosystem
- Familiarity using advanced developer tools like Gemini CLI or Claude Code to solve technical challenges
- Demonstrated systems thinking skills with the ability to map out intricate logic flows and manage state across complex processes
- The ability to decompose high-level, ambiguous objectives into a series of small, autonomous, and verifiable tasks
- Experience using Git-based version control to manage codebases within a collaborative team setting
- Excellent communication skills for explaining technical trade-offs and architectural decisions to both technical and non-technical peers
- A high degree of adaptability and the "engineer’s intuition" required to troubleshoot probabilistic systems
- Effective modular thinking skills evidenced by the ability to break down large, intricate undertakings into a series of smaller self-contained tasks
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Emotional intelligence and coachability
