Role Overview

United Airlines is seeking skilled AI Engineering Intern proficient in Python programming and experienced in developing, deploying, and optimizing large language models (LLMs). The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with FastAPI or Flask frameworks, Lang Chain implementation, Agents and building Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines. You will play a key role in integrating cutting-edge AI technologies to solve complex business problems, focusing on vector stores and retrievers while deploying scalable solutions on AWS.

Key Responsibilities

Python Development:
Design, develop, and maintain scalable web services using FastAPI or Flask frameworks.
Write efficient, reusable, and modular Python code to support API-driven LLM applications.
Lang Chain & Supporting Frameworks:
Implement Lang Chain to build custom pipelines for document indexing, retrieval, and summarization.
Integrate Lang Chain's RAG capabilities with other components like vector stores and retrievers to support real-time querying and document processing.
MCP & Agent Systems:
Hands-on experience with building AI agents capable of autonomous reasoning, decision-making, and self-directed task execution
RAG Pipelines:
Architect and deploy Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems for chatbots, knowledge systems, and other generative AI applications.
Optimize RAG systems for speed, accuracy, and scalability across multiple use cases.
Vector Stores & Retrievers:
Work with vector databases like Pinecone, Chroma, FAISS, or Milvus to store and manage embeddings.
Implement retrievers and re-rankers to improve query efficiency, ensuring high-quality and relevant outputs for users.
AWS Cloud Deployment:
Knowledge of AWS, leveraging services such as Lambda, EC2, S3, EKS, and RDS.
Focusing on the scalability, availability, and reliability of deployed applications.
Dashboards and Monitoring (Optional):
Create monitoring dashboards using tools like Grafana or Tableau for real-time system monitoring, analytics, and performance insights.
Experimentation with Generative AI:
Research and integrate the latest advancements in generative AI technologies.
Experiment with fine-tuning and adapting large language models (like GPT, BERT) for new, innovative use cases.
