Role
Who you are
- Currently pursuing a BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field
- Some hands-on experience with ML systems - course projects, research, hackathons, or a prior internship all count. We are not requiring 1+ years of production experience for this role; that bar belongs on a full-time posting, not an internship
- Solid Python/Rust fundamentals: data structures, functions, basic testing, comfort reading and writing code reviews
- Exposure to at least one AI/ML frameworks (PyTorch or JAX) and basic data tooling (Pandas, SQL)
- Nice to have, not required: familiarity with a cloud platform (AWS/GCP/Azure), Docker, or a model-serving tool (vLLM, Triton, Ray Serve)
- Clear written and verbal communication. You'll be documenting your own work and asking questions across product, design, and engineering
What the job involves
- We're seeking an AI Engineer Intern to work alongside our AI team on large-scale AI and Agentic systems from data pipeline to production deployment
- This role is scoped for someone with foundational experience who wants to deepen it: you'll own discrete pieces of real systems under the mentorship of senior engineers, not shadow work or isolated coursework-style projects
- Model Development
- Partner with product managers, designers, and engineers to translate product requirements into scoped AI problem statements
- Prepare data pipeline and AI store design under senior engineer guidance
- Build and validate AI models using PyTorch or JAX(Optax/Orbax /TensorStore/Grain) and similar tools
- Run large-scale experiments, evaluate models against defined metrics, and support ablation studies and error analysis
- Productionization
- Help build inference APIs and batch scoring workflows; integrate AI outputs with backend services
- Support AIOps practices already in place on the team: model versioning, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring dashboards, and logging
- Assist with model optimization work (quantization, batching, distillation) under supervision -this is a learning objective, not an expected independent deliverable
- Operational Rigor
- Contribute to root-cause analysis on production issues alongside senior engineers
- Document experiments, design decisions, and runbooks so your work is legible to the next person who touches it
- Flag fairness, interpretability, or privacy concerns you observe in data or model behavior….you're not expected to resolve these alone, but surfacing them is part of the job
Our take
Postman is a SaaS collaboration platform designed to streamline API development teams. APIs serve as the backbone for communication and data sharing across numerous applications, playing a pivotal role in today's device-centric landscape. The platform offers tools for testing, version control, and documentation, ensuring the efficient production of APIs.
Initially founded in Bangalore, Postman has since relocated its headquarters to San Francisco. With a prestigious clientele including X, Shopify, and Intuit, the platform boasts over 40M developers and 500,000 organizations worldwide. Postman actively engages with the API developer community through various initiatives, such as hosting hackathons with enticing cash prizes.
The growing reliance on APIs to fuel digital transformation, compounded by the widespread shift to remote work and digitalization, highlights their critical importance. Moreover, the sensitive nature of APIs, given the data they transmit and the potential security risks, accentuates the need for robust development practices. Hence, Postman has thrived as companies seek to develop secure APIs efficiently to meet evolving demands.
