Work model

Onsite/hybrid in Cary, NC.

Responsibilities

  • Building the AI layer's agents, tools, and data connectors in Python, reading from business systems through APIs and SQL.
  • Designing multi-step agent workflows in LangGraph or a comparable framework, with human approval built in; working with read-only access and sandbox environments—nothing writes to a live system without human approval.
  • Selecting the right retrieval for each question: a database query, an API call, or a document search, and knowing which one fits.
  • Building evaluation sets, measuring whether answers are correct, and improving them.
  • Delivering weekly: shipping small pieces every week and demoing them to the team and to business users.
  • Using AI coding assistants openly and being able to explain every line committed.
  • Documenting what you build and learn so the next person can pick it up.

Qualifications

  • Currently enrolled in a master's program, or in the third or fourth year of a bachelor's program, in computer science, mathematics, data science, or industrial engineering in the United States (master's students preferred).
  • Available to continue part-time, remotely, for about six months after the summer, alongside your studies.
  • Must have reliable transportation to and from the worksite during the summer.
  • Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without company sponsorship now and in the future.
  • Python you've shipped: a project someone else can run, with git and tests (include a link with your application).
  • Hands-on experience building with LLMs: model APIs, tool calling, structured outputs.
  • SQL, including joins across multiple tables.
  • A working understanding of REST APIs and JSON.

Preferred qualifications

  • LangGraph or another agent framework.
  • Embeddings, vector search, and RAG.
  • MCP.
  • Knowledge graphs (for example Neo4j).
  • A cloud platform.
  • Any exposure to supply chain, manufacturing, or ERP concepts.
