Artificial Intelligence Intern

About Naicos

Naicos, a fast-paced startup, builds AI-native products for algorithmic commerce: the future of how e-commerce runs. Our first products are already live with paying customers, and we are shipping new ones continuously.

Your Role

You will drive the research behind our imaging products, finding approaches to hard, unsolved problems in product and apparel imagery that work at production scale. You will run the experiments, prove what is viable, and hand a working approach to the engineering team.

Who We Are Looking For

•     Total experience: 3 years or more, with a strong research orientation

•     Deep learning frameworks in Python: PyTorch or TensorFlow

•     Image processing in Python: OpenCV, Pillow, scikit-image

•     Working knowledge of diffusion and other image generation models

We are looking for a strong research or research-student profile: someone who investigates, experiments and proves an approach, working closely with the AI Architect. Someone who is driven to build solutions, not just desk research.

AI Skills and Experience

•     Computer vision: classical CV alongside deep learning.

•     Segmentation, image-to-image translation, geometry and lighting; 

•     Generative imaging: diffusion models, conditioning and control, fine-tuning and LoRA,

•     Reads academic papers, judges what is reproducible, and turns one into a working prototype in days

Good to have

•     3D and rendering; published research or open-source contributions; model optimisation for inference cost

Research and innovative problem solving

•     Comfortable where there is no known answer, and defines the approach yourself

•     Solves problems inventively rather than reaching for the biggest model; many results come from classical image processing, fitment and geometric transformation

Other Relevant Skills and Experience

•     Designs experiments: baselines, measurable success criteria, honest reporting of negative results

•     Explains findings to a non-research audience and guides engineers to production

•     Git and reproducible experiment tracking (Weights & Biases, MLflow or similar)

Educational Qualification

•     BE / B.Tech / ME / M.Tech in Computer Science

•     BE / B.Tech / ME / M.Tech in any discipline with proven Computer Vision coursework or work

•     MSc / MS in Computer Science, Maths, Statistics or Computer Vision

•     PhD in Computer Vision or Machine Learning: an advantage, not a requirement

•     Reputed Tier 1 university preferred

About the Role

We are looking for enthusiastic LLM Interns to join our team remotely for a 3-month internship. This role is ideal for students or graduates interested in AI, Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Large Language Models (LLMs). You will gain hands-on experience working with cutting-edge AI tools, prompt engineering, and model fine-tuning. While this is an unpaid internship, interns who successfully complete the program will receive a Completion Certificate and a Letter of Recommendation.

Responsibilities

• Research and experiment with LLMs, NLP techniques, and AI frameworks.
• Design, test, and optimize prompts and workflows for different use cases.
• Assist in fine-tuning or integrating LLMs for internal projects.
• Evaluate model outputs and improve accuracy, efficiency, and reliability.
• Collaborate with developers, data scientists, and product managers to implement AI-driven features.
• Document experiments, results, and best practices.

Requirements

• Strong interest in Artificial Intelligence, NLP, and Machine Learning.
• Familiarity with Python and ML libraries (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, Hugging Face Transformers).
• Basic understanding of LLM concepts such as embeddings, fine-tuning, and inference.
• Knowledge of APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Hugging Face, etc.) is a plus.
• Good analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work independently in a remote environment.

What You’ll Gain

• Practical exposure to state-of-the-art AI tools and LLMs.
• Mentorship from AI and software professionals.
• Completion Certificate upon successful completion.
• Letter of Recommendation based on performance.
• Experience to showcase in research projects, academic work, or future AI roles.

Internship Details

• Duration: 3 months
• Location: Remote (Work from Home)
• Stipend: Unpaid
• Perks: Completion Certificate + Letter of Recommendation
