At Frontline Education, our vision is simple but powerful: every school thriving. Every community stronger. Our mission is to transform how schools work, so every educator and student succeeds.
As an AI Engineering Intern focused on Large Language Model (LLM) applications, you’ll help bring that mission to life by building practical, thoughtful AI experiences that solve real-world challenges for educators and school communities. This is a hands-on opportunity to work alongside engineers, product leaders, and platform teams to prototype, develop, and improve AI-powered features that make work simpler, smarter, and more impactful.
You’ll contribute to meaningful projects, learn from experienced mentors, and gain exposure to modern AI systems in production environments. From experimentation to deployment, your work will help shape how AI can responsibly support people and outcomes at scale.
How You’ll Drive Success
- Contribute to the development of LLM-powered features from concept through deployment, including prototyping, testing, iteration, and implementation.
- Support retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workflows, including document ingestion, vector search, and knowledge retrieval experiences.
- Write, refine, and evaluate prompts while helping improve response quality, reliability, and safety.
- Integrate AI models and APIs into backend services and workflows using modern engineering practices.
- Assist with testing, observability, and evaluation efforts to help teams measure quality and performance.
- Collaborate across engineering, product, and data teams to solve problems thoughtfully and efficiently.
- Document technical decisions, learnings, and workflows in ways that support shared understanding and long-term team success.
