As a **Backend Engineer Intern**, you'll work directly on the **Agent Runtime and AI infrastructure** behind these experiences — from intent routing and tool orchestration to evaluation, observability, and reliability. We're looking for **strong technical students who enjoy going deep** — people who are excited by **LLM Agents, systems, algorithms, and experimentation**, and wants to work on real production AI systems alongside experienced Backend, Data Science, and Algorithm engineers. You will have the opportunity to turn ideas from **prototype → benchmark → production**, and see your work directly impact how AI Pro behaves at scale. ### Responsibilities - Build and improve core components of the **Agent Runtime**, including intent routing, query rewriting, RAG, tool/skill orchestration, and multi-step agent workflows. - Design and optimize **Tool Server / Tool Calling** capabilities, including tool discovery, execution, result handling, and integration with web search, market data, and internal services. - Develop **evaluation datasets and evaluation harnesses** to measure routing accuracy, answer quality, tool-use performance, and agent reliability. - Investigate and improve **Agent quality**, including failure analysis, regression detection, prompt / workflow optimization, and guardrail effectiveness. - Improve system **observability and reliability** through tracing, metrics, logging, dashboards, and production monitoring. - Debug issues across asynchronous services and agent pipelines, and build integration tests using mocked LLM responses and replayable evaluation cases. - Work closely with **Backend, Data Science, and Algorithm engineers** to experiment, benchmark, and bring AI capabilities into production. ### Requirements (Must Have) - Strong **Python** programming skills and solid software engineering fundamentals. - Strong understanding of **algorithms, data structures, and problem solving**; able to reason about system behavior and trade-offs. - Hands-on experience with **LLM applications or Agent systems**, through research, coursework, internships, or projects. - Familiarity with concepts such as **RAG, Tool Calling, Function Calling, Prompting, Agent workflows, or LLM evaluation**. - Able to work comfortably with real codebases, APIs, asynchronous services, testing, CI/CD, and code review. - Strong debugging and analytical ability, with a mindset of **"understand why it fails, not just make it work."** ### Nice-to-have - Experience with **Agent frameworks** such as LangGraph, LangChain, AgentScope, LlamaIndex, or similar. - Experience with **MCP / Tool ecosystems / Agent Runtime**. - Experience building **Benchmark / Evaluation / LLM testing infrastructure**. - Familiarity with **vector search, embeddings, RAG evaluation, or LLM observability**. - Experience with **Redis, Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes**, or cloud-native systems. - Exposure to **LLM security, guardrails, prompt-injection defense, or tool-use safety**. - Experience with **model inference, latency optimization, or cost optimization**. ### What You'll Get - **Ship real features to a production AI Agent** used by Binance users. - Work on the **Agent Runtime and AI infrastructure**, rather than only application-layer development. - Learn from senior **Backend, Data Science and Algorithm engineers**. - Gain hands-on experience across the modern **LLM application stack: Agent Runtime, RAG, Tool Calling, Evaluation, LLMOps and AI Safety**. - Own meaningful engineering projects end-to-end, from **problem definition → implementation → evaluation → production**.
