What It Means to Be a Reingold AI Solutions Intern

Are you excited by the challenge of turning cutting-edge AI technology into real, working solutions? Do you love experimenting with models, building prototypes, and finding creative ways to use AI to solve real-world problems? If so, Reingold may be the place for you!

As an AI Solutions Intern, you’ll help identify, build, and implement AI-driven tools and automations that enhance how Reingold operates and delivers for clients. You’ll explore use cases across data analysis, natural language processing, automation, and content generation — and you’ll bring them to life through rapid prototyping and hands-on development.

Intern responsibilities may include:

• Researching and identifying internal and client-facing opportunities for AI integration.
• Designing and prototyping AI-powered tools using Python and libraries such as Hugging Face Transformers, LangChain, or OpenAI APIs.
• Fine-tuning or customizing existing models for specific business or content needs.
• Developing and documenting scripts, workflows, and proof-of-concept applications.
• Evaluating model performance and recommending improvements based on experimentation.
• Collaborating with internal teams to demonstrate and implement your AI solutions.
• Staying up to date with emerging frameworks, APIs, and techniques in the AI ecosystem.
• Performing ad hoc technical tasks based on your skills and our evolving needs.

We’re looking for candidates with the following qualifications and skills:

• Formal training in computer science, data science, machine learning, or a related field through a college program or immersive training.
• Strong Python programming skills, including experience with libraries like pandas, numpy, and transformers.
• Familiarity with building or integrating AI/ML models (e.g., using OpenAI API, Hugging Face, LangChain, TensorFlow, or PyTorch).
• Understanding of basic NLP concepts such as tokenization, embeddings, retrieval augmented generation (RAG), and fine-tuning.
• Familiarity with version control (Git) and collaborative development practices.
• Ability to quickly learn new tools and independently implement prototypes.
• Ability to work independently with some oversight.
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills — comfortable explaining technical work to nontechnical stakeholders.
• Curiosity, initiative, and a hands-on, experimental mindset.

Bonus points for experience with:

• Experience deploying small applications or tools.
• Knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) or serverless AI services.
• Experience with prompt engineering and evaluating generative model performance.
• Exposure to automation frameworks (e.g., Zapier, Make, or API-based integrations).
