AI Engineer Intern.

Technology · Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Internship

About Vahan

At Vahan, we’re building the infrastructure for India’s 300M+ blue-collar workforce to access jobs, income stability, and financial tools.We use AI to solve high-scale, real-world problems: matching millions of workers to opportunities, automating operations, and rethinking how hiring works from the ground up.

If you’re excited by 0 → 1 problem solving, messy datasets, and shipping things that actually impact lives, this role is for you.

What You’ll Work On

This is not a “learn and observe” internship. You will own problems end-to-end.

  • Build and ship AI-first features using LLMs (matching, ranking, automation, conversational flows)
  • Design systems that automate recruitment, onboarding, and operational workflows
  • Work with real-world datasets and optimize systems for scale
  • Experiment with prompt engineering, fine-tuning, evaluation frameworks, and agent workflows
  • Collaborate with product, operations, and business teams to solve real user problems
  • Take ideas from concept to prototype to production

What We’re Looking For

Technical

  • Strong fundamentals in Python or JavaScript
  • Hands-on experience with LLMs or GenAI (through projects, internships, or experimentation)
  • Ability to build quickly using APIs, scripts, or prototypes
  • Understanding of data structures, APIs, and system design basics

Builder Mindset

  • Evidence of building beyond coursework (projects, experiments, automations, etc.)
  • Interest in using AI to redesign workflows, not just improve them
  • Ability to work with ambiguity and break down unstructured problems
  • Strong bias for action

Bonus Points

  • Experience with AI agents, LangChain, vector databases, or RAG systems
  • Contributions to GitHub, open-source, or hackathons
  • Strong interest in automation, productivity tools, or system design

What You’ll Get

  • Opportunity to work on problems that impact millions of users
  • High ownership from Day 1
  • Direct exposure to founders and senior leadership
  • Fast-paced, high-agency work environment
  • Potential full-time offer based on performance

Why This Role is Different

  • Most internships teach you how to code.
  • This one teaches you how to think, build, and ship like an AI-native engineer.
