Job Overview
Come join the FILM (Foundational Intuit LLMs) group as an Intern, AI Scientist. We are
building the Intuit Foundational LLM, as part of a proprietary Generative AI operating system
(GenOS) platform.
Responsibilities
How you’ll contribute:
As an AI Scientist Intern, you will have the opportunity to apply and grow your skills in
natural language processing (NLP) and large language models (LLMs). You will work
with diverse, multi-modal data types at a massive scale, leveraging proprietary Intuit
data to help unlock insights. This role will provide you with hands-on experience in
advanced model fine-tuning, transfer learning, prompt engineering, few-shot
learning, and data augmentation methods to build both predictive and generative
models, fueling innovation across Intuit products.
You will collaborate with our cross-functional teams—including data engineers, ML
architects, product managers, and business analysts—to support the development of
high-performance LLM pipelines. You will assist in designing and executing research
strategies for optimizing model architecture, prompt optimization, tokenizer
customization, data curation, noise reduction, and hyper-parameter tuning to meet
Intuit’s complex and large-scale data challenges.
Under the guidance of senior team members, you will help provide stakeholders with
an understanding of how to utilize LLM models, embeddings, and vector databases
to meet critical business needs. You will also have the chance to contribute to projects
that are at the forefront of advancements in generative AI, reinforcement learning,
and self-supervised learning.
This internship will immerse you in the end-to-end development of LLM workflows,
from hypothesis generation and model fine-tuning to data preprocessing and A/B
testing. You will be part of a continuous feedback loop for model retraining and
precision tuning, ensuring alignment with shifting data scales and complex
multi-domain applications.
You will also learn to use interpretability tools to understand LLM outputs and
contribute to a team that is focused on maximizing the impact of cutting-edge AI
capabilities.
