We’re seeking a Software Engineering Intern to join our Core AI sub-team within the AI Engineering Group at G-Research.

The Core AI team builds and evolves the foundational platforms behind every Generative AI initiative within the firm, from RAG services to tooling that improves developer experience across quant and engineering teams.

As part of this team, you’ll contribute to the design and delivery of scalable, reliable and secure infrastructure that enables researchers, data scientists and engineers to experiment and deploy AI solutions safely and at speed.

Your work will span critical projects and workstreams, including distributed systems development, LLM orchestration and inference, RAG service integration and leading the drive for internal adoption of third-party AI technologies

Key responsibilities of the roll include:

• Designing, building and operating platform services in C# and Python, covering feature stores, vector search, prompt management and model hosting and inference

• Implementing type-safe orchestration workflows using LangGraph and Pydantic
• Scaling embedding and RAG pipelines to support large, high-throughput workloads
• Collaborating with research and product teams to productionise AI prototypes
• Applying best practices in testing, version control, CI/CD and observability
• Benchmarking and optimising latency, throughput and cost across on-prem GPU clusters and cloud platforms

Who are we looking for?

We value engineers who are energised by complex, systems-level challenges, work fluently across languages and tooling and care deeply about developer experience and platform ergonomics.

You should be comfortable owning services end-to-end, from design docs to production dashboards, and motivated by the opportunity to help shape the foundations of AI development at G-Research.

The ideal candidate will have the following skills and experience:

• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field
• Strong production-grade programming skills in C# and Python, or equivalent
• Solid understanding of distributed systems, such as networking, storage, concurrency and fault tolerance
• Familiarity with AI engineering tooling, such as:
  • LangGraph / LangChain
  • Pydantic
  • FastAPI
  • MCP
  • RAG pipelines
  • Agentic workflows

The following experience is beneficial:

• Exposure to GPU scheduling or model-parallel inference (e.g. vLLM, TensorRT-LLM)
• Contributions to open-source AI infrastructure projects

Why should you apply?

• Highly competitive compensation plus annual discretionary bonus
• 30 days’ annual leave
• Lunch provided (via Just Eat for Business) and dedicated barista bar
• 9% company pension contributions
• Comprehensive healthcare and life assurance
• Informal dress code and excellent work/life balance
