Key Internship Responsibilities

1. AI-assisted engineering & AI-agent development

Use AI tools, LLMs, and AI agents to draft and refine:

• Code
• Configurations
• Tests
• Documentation
• Runbooks

(All subject to review by the Senior Architect and acceptance by the Product Manager/Owner.)

Build and evolve an AI assets library:

• Reusable components, templates, configurations
• Orchestration patterns and governance guidelines
• Standardization across design, development, testing, deployment, and operations

You will learn how to use AI not just for prompts, but as an impactful engineering accelerator.

2. Implementation, configuration & integration (end-to-end)

Under the Senior Architect's direction, you will:

• Translate product requirements and scenarios into working prototypes and components using:
• Application code
• Cloud services and configurations
• Integrations across leading PaaS/IaaS and SaaS platforms (e.g., Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Entra, etc.).
• Contribute (as appropriate for an intern) across the full stack:
• UI
• APIs/services
• Data access and persistence/DB
• Telemetry/observability
• Assist in implementing secure integrations and data exchanges, with basic:
• Instrumentation for performance and reliability
• Supportability hooks (logs, metrics, simple dashboards, etc.)

3. Rapid prototyping & reliable delivery

• Start with prototypes to explore new technologies, solution approach, and feasibility.

With support from the Senior Architect, help take selected prototypes towards more production-ready forms with:

• Tests and input validation
• Logging/metrics
• Basic rollback paths
• Operational notes
• Contribute to clear READMEs and how-to guides, so others in the team can run, monitor, and support what you help build.

4. Agile delivery & collaboration

Participate in Agile sprints:

• Stand-ups, reviews, retrospectives
• AI-assisted minutes and action items
• Work using the Definition of Ready/Done is suitable for internship-level tasks.
• Learn to:
• Estimate your tasks
• Demo work frequently
• Track tasks to closure
• Surface blockers early with possible mitigation option

You will be guided on how to behave as a professional engineer within an Agile product team.

5. Engineering excellence & compliance

With guidance from the Senior Architect, you will be introduced to:

• Unit/integration/E2E testing
• Peer reviews
• Static checks, where applicable
• Maintaining traceable acceptance evidence
• Security & observability basics aligned to SYplat's standards:
• Secrets management and least privilege
• Dependency hygiene
• Structured logs and metrics
• Basic resilience practices

Process discipline:

• Following SYplat's processes, procedures, guidelines, and methodology
• Supporting change/release checklists and documentation standards

Over time in the internship, you are expected to take increasing ownership of your deliverables while still being mentored.

Technology focus during the internship

You would primarily work on:

• AI agents development
• Microsoft Azure and its services
• Microsoft Entra family of products
• End-to-end development of the SY platform: from user interface to persistent store
• Exposure and hands-on work on SAP products and other enterprise security products, wherever relevant

All of this is done with efficient use of AI tools and services to accelerate learning and delivery.

What you bring

• Ability to quickly understand new concepts, tools, and platforms.
• Proactively asking questions and a willingness to experiment and improve.

Problem-solving (mandatory)

• Structured thinking for ambiguous or partially defined problems.
• Evaluating alternatives, using simple prototypes and experiments appropriately

Out-of-the-box thinking (mandatory)

Practical, creative ideas that can complement any part of the platform:

• Architecture
• Design
• Workflows
• Processes
• Not limited to just prompt writing.

People & communication skills

• Clear written and verbal communication.
• Professional collaboration with team members.
• Concise demos and status updates.

Programming fundamentals

• Comfort with at least one programming language (e.g., Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, or similar).
