AI Engineer - Intern

Position is based in our Paris office.

About The Role

As an AI Engineer Intern, you will contribute to building the data pipelines fuelling the leading Agentic AI product for biomedical researchers by optimizing workflows, integrating new biological datasets, and developing new features within the team. You'll be working on a real-time system that integrates LLMs, tool‑calling, and interactive UI elements, ensuring that users can seamlessly engage with complex domain‑specific data.

This role requires collaborating with a multi‑disciplinary team (Software Engineers, Data Engineers, MLEngineers, Data Scientists) working on Owkin’s agentic product: K: Multimodal Context team. The team provides the right information to the orchestration through tool calling.

The internship will be supervised by a dedicated team member, and the team will set it up for success.

In Particular, You Will

• Onboard on Owkin’s agentic data pipelines, K ecosystem, and learn to manipulate Owkin’s proprietary biological datasets
• Grasp a firm understanding of the data production pipeline, identify bottlenecks and potential improvements
• Address user feedback from multiple parties – internal biomedical team, pharma clients, students, researchers – to continuously increase the capacities of K
• Improve developer experience: build manual workflows (documentation & make commands), continuous integration / delivery (CI/CD) workflows (GitHub Actions), orchestrated workflows (Airflow), and dashboards (Grafana) to elevate engineering standards
• Experiment with innovative improvements and proofs of concept on a sub‑component of the product

At the end of the internship, we expect you to:

• Make meaningful contributions to the codebase that directly impact the data production / integration into K
• Define and implement cross‑modality complex agentic workflows involving biological data
• Write and review high‑quality code respecting industry standards (CI/CD, linting, typing)

About You

• Master student or equivalent level (ideally end‑of‑study internship)
• You’re driven by impact – excited to empower biomedical researchers with intuitive, AI‑driven tools that unlock scientific discovery
• Strong collaborative skills with an open, pragmatic mindset; you thrive in multidisciplinary environments with diverse backgrounds
• Clear and effective communicator who can translate technical complexity into actionable decisions for the team
• Proven track record of agentic AI or data engineering projects
• Fluent English, both written and spoken
• Stack: Python, Airflow, Grafana, GitHub

What we offer

• Flexible work organization
• Friendly and informal working environment
• Opportunity to work with an international team with high technical and scientific backgrounds
