Applied AI Engineer Intern

Brainwave Nextgen Technologies is an early-stage agri-tech startup building AI products for India's food supply chain. We are looking for someone with 0 to 1 years of experience who wants to build real products from scratch and grow into a full-time role.

What You Will Do

• Build, train, and tune ML models end to end: feature pipelines, training loops, evaluation, and deployment.
• Own model performance on live products, from raw data to production.
• Build enterprise grade solutions end to end: backend services, APIs, databases, and the systems that put models in front of customers.
• Research deeply: read papers, benchmark approaches, dig into the domain, and turn findings into product decisions.
• Work directly with the founders. Small team, real ownership, no middle layer, no bureaucracy. You shape what gets built.
• Learn from our advisors, CXOs at some of India's biggest FMCG companies.

What We Are Looking For

Basic Qualifications

• 0 to 1 years of experience. Freshers are welcome.
• Have built and trained ML models in Python with scikit-learn, pandas, and NumPy, through projects, internships, or coursework.
• Have worked with regression, tree based models, ensembles, and clustering, and evaluated them properly with the right metric and validation scheme, without leakage.
• Have built at least one working application end to end: backend, APIs, database, and deployed code.
• Have used Git and SQL in real projects.
• Use AI coding tools daily. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or similar, and you can explain and debug every line you ship.
• Self-starter. You build from scratch, research deeply, and figure things out without waiting for a spec.

Preferred Qualifications

• Have worked with PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Keras.
• Have built with CNNs, NLP, and time-series forecasting.
• Have deployed models with FastAPI or Flask, Docker, and AWS, GCP, or Azure.
• Have built with LLMs, RAG, or agentic workflows.
• Kaggle, open-source, published research, or a prior ML or software internship.
