The Position

Job Description:
Join our Innovation Hub to pioneer the next generation of AI-driven pharmaceutical solutions. Unlike a traditional data role, this internship focuses on bridging the gap between cutting-edge LLM (Large Language Model) research and practical healthcare applications.

Key Responsibilities:
* Full-Stack AI Development: Architect and build AI-driven applications from the ground up.
* Cloud Architecture & Publishing: Take ownership of the deployment process. You will containerize applications and publish them to Cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP), ensuring they are accessible and scalable.
* Database Management: Design and implement basic data storage architectures to handle application state, session memory, and knowledge retrieval.
* End-to-End Ownership: Monitor the live application, troubleshoot cloud environment issues, and iterate on model performance independently.
* Technical Translation: Work with stakeholders to refine project requirements and ensure the final product meets pharmaceutical industry standards.

Required Skills and Qualifications:
* You are a self-starter, independent & highly motivated.
* Internship Duration: Capability to commit to a 6-month full-time internship (highly preferred).
* AI Solution Engineering: Proven ability to build an AI application from scratch (Portfolio/GitHub evidence of independent projects is highly preferred).
* Technical Proficiencies: Strong hands-on experience with Python
* Database Basics: Understanding of how to store and retrieve data from a database (e.g., NoSQL, Vector DBs, or simple Cloud Storage)
* AI Fundamentals: Familiarity with LLM architectures, API integrations, and the basics of Natural Language Processing (NLP).
* Software Engineering Basics: Familiarity with Git for version control and the SDLC.
* Education: Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, AI, Data Science, or Software Engineering, or a related field.

What We Offer:
* End-to-End Project Ownership: You won't just be assisting; you will be the lead developer of your assigned project, responsible for its architecture and success.
* Production Experience: A rare opportunity to see your "from-scratch" builds published and running in an enterprise-grade cloud environment.
* Corporate Working Environment @ a leading MNC: You will be part of a qualified and engaged professional team and organization where you will experience corporate culture at the intersection of healthcare industry and digital innovation in a globally leading pharma company
