AI Engineer - Intern

AI Engineer Intern

As an AI Engineer Intern, you will contribute to build the data pipelines fueling the leading agentic AI product for biomedical researchers by optimizing workflows, integrating new biological datasets, and developing new features within the team. You'll be working on a real-time system that integrates LLMs, tool-calling, and interactive UI elements, making sure our users can seamlessly engage with complex domain specific data.

This role requires integrating in a multi-disciplinary team (Software Engineers, Data Engineers, ML Engineers, Data Scientists) working on Owkin's agentic product: K:
Multimodal Context team. The team is responsible for providing the right information to the orchestration through tool calling. The internship is expected to involve contributions across these different expertises in various parts of the product.

The internship will be supervised by a dedicated member of the team and the whole team will ensure to set it up for success.

• Onboard on Owkin's agentic data pipelines, K ecosystem, and learn to manipulate Owkin's proprietary biological datasets
• Grasp a firm understanding of the data production pipeline, identify bottlenecks and potential improvements.
• Address user feedback from multiple parties: internal biomedical team, pharma clients, students, researchers… to continuously increase the capacities of K,
• Improve developer experience:
  Build manual workflows (documentation & make commands), continuous integration / delivery (CI / CD) workflows (github actions), orchestrated workflows (Airflow), dashboards (Grafana) in order to continuously elevate the engineering standards of the development of the product
• Experiment innovative improvements and Proofs of Concept on a sub-component of the product.

At the end of the internship, we expect you to:

• Make meaningful contributions to the codebase that directly impact the data production/integration into K,
• Define and implement cross-modality complex agentic workflows involving biological data,
• Write and review high-quality code respecting the industry standards (CI/CD workflows, linting, typing)

• Master student or equivalent level (ideally end of study internship)
• You're driven by impact — excited to empower biomedical researchers with intuitive, AI-driven tools that unlock scientific discovery.
• Strong collaborative skills with an open, pragmatic mindset; you thrive in multidisciplinary environments that involve people with diverse backgrounds.
• Clear and effective communicator who can translate technical complexity into actionable decisions for the team.
• Proven track record of agentic AI or data engineering projects
• Fluent English, both written and spoken.
• Stack:
  Python, Airflow, Grafana, Github

• Flexible work organization
• Friendly and informal working environment
• Opportunity to work with an international team with high technical and scientific backgrounds

• Owkin is a great place to work. As a coveted workplace we are, unfortunately, vulnerable to recruitment phishing scams. We urge all job seekers and candidates to be wary of potential scams. Most of these have individuals posing as representatives of prominent companies, including Owkin, with the aim of obtaining personal, sensitive, or financial information from applicants. These scams prey upon an individual's desire to obtain a job and can sometimes "feel" like a genuine recruitment process.
  
  Some red flags are identified below. Should you encounter a recruitment process that claims to be for Owkin but is not consistent with the below, please do not provide any personal or financial information:
• Legitimate Owkin recruitment processes include communication with candidates through recognized professional networks, such as Linked In.
• Communication is always through an official Owkin email address (from the…
