Responsibilities

Our team is building the next generation of AI-native risk intelligence systems to address emerging challenges driven by large-scale AIGC content production.

As content creation becomes automated and adversaries adopt systematic experimentation (e.g., large-scale template variation and rapid iteration), traditional rule-based and single-model approaches are no longer sufficient. We are transitioning from monolithic LLM applications to a structured multi-agent architecture that emphasizes:

• Tool-augmented reasoning (ReAct-style systems)
• Modular skill composition
• Execution traceability and observability
• Feedback-driven system evolution
• Cross-domain risk reasoning

We are looking for talented individuals to join us for an internship. PhD internships at Our Company provide students with the opportunity to actively contribute to our products and research, as well as to the organization's future plans and emerging technologies.

Our dynamic internship experience blends hands-on learning, enriching community-building and professional development events, and collaboration with industry experts.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, so we encourage you to apply early. Please clearly state your availability in your resume (Start date, End date).
