AI Engineer Intern

A learning role working directly with Aperio's lead on the part of the product that matters most: turning a student's wrong answer into an explanation that actually helps. You would be given real work, with someone experienced reviewing it.

• Work with the lead on features that turn a student's attempt into useful feedback.
• Build and test prompts and evaluations — measuring whether an explanation is correct and useful, not just whether it reads well.
• Write the Python that connects model output to the product.
• Check output carefully. A confident, wrong explanation given to a student is worse than no explanation at all.
• Write down what you tried and what happened, so the next person does not repeat it.

• Working toward, or recently finished, a degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics, or something similar.
• Comfortable writing Python.
• Some hands-on experience with language models — coursework, personal projects, or research all count.
• Careful about correctness. A lot of this job is checking whether something that sounds right actually is.
• Happy to learn from review and to ask questions early rather than guess.
• Legally entitled to work in Canada.
