2026 Undergraduate Summer Intern – Job Posting

Department Title: Undergrad Intern – AI, Data, and Process Optimization

Please read before applying:

Start Date: All interns must start in office and in person on June 8, 2026.

Anticipated End Date: August 14, 2026 – All interns must be in office and in person on their last day to return equipment. Interns must be located in the same location throughout the duration of their internship and are prohibited from returning laptop/equipment to a different office location or shipping their equipment back.

Position Summary: 

Our new Data, AI & Process Optimization team helps FTI teams adopt AI and streamline processes. We focus on:

• AI enablement and trainings for business and functional teams
• Custom agent development to accelerate workflows (research, operations, sales, marketing, service)
• Trust administration AI to improve document analysis, entity extraction, and decision support
• Automation that reduces manual work and improves consistency across recurring processes

You’ll build real, production-minded AI solutions not just prototypes. You’ll help teams learn AI, design and deliver internal workshops, and ship working custom agents and automations that impact daily workflows. You’ll also contribute to high-value work in trust administration, applying modern AI patterns (retrieval, structured extraction, evaluation, monitoring) to complex real-world documents and processes.

Team Culture:

We’re a new team that is growing in resources and experience. We are a collaborative, builder-oriented team that partners closely with business stakeholders.

We move quickly, prioritize measurable outcomes, and value:

• Clear communication (simple explanations, crisp documentation)
• Pragmatic engineering (secure, maintainable, and testable solutions)
• A “teach and scale” mindset - enabling others through reusable patterns, demos, and training content
• Frequent iteration with stakeholders and strong ownership from idea → MVP → improvement cycles

An intern in this department can expect to learn:

• Designing and delivering AI trainings (hands-on workshops, demos, office hours)
• Building LLM-powered agents: tool use, retrieval (RAG), structured outputs, guardrails
• Translating business needs into technical designs, success metrics, and rollout plans
• Building lightweight automations and workflows (APIs, integrations, data pipelines)
• Evaluating and improving AI quality (test sets, error analysis, prompt/agent iteration)
• Working in an enterprise context: documentation, security-minded development, and stakeholder collaboration

Key Responsibilities Can Include:

• AI Trainings & Enablement: help create training content, run sessions/office hours, write “how-to” guides and playbooks
• Custom Agents: prototype and build agents for specific workflows; create lightweight UI/integrations; add feedback loops/telemetry
• Trust Administration AI: support pipelines for classification/extraction; build evaluation sets; improve reliability with schemas + retrieval
• Automation: identify repetitive processes and implement scripts/workflows/dashboards to streamline operations

Ideal Qualifications:

• Good coding skills in Python and/or JavaScript/TypeScript
• Experience building apps/APIs
• Interest in applied AI/LLMs and willingness to iterate using user feedback
• Clear communicator (able to explain technical concepts to non-technical partners)
