About this role
Summary: Build AI agents, MCP capabilities, and orchestration integrations connecting AI to enterprise software. Translate business problems into technical architectures and engineer reliable, secure solutions using Aptean's technology stack.
Overview
1500 €/ month – 6 months internship – full time
As a Junior AI Engineer, you'll build the agents, MCP capabilities, orchestration and integrations that connect AI to Aptean's industry-specific enterprise software — starting from real business problems identified by the Go-to-Market team.
This is a role for someone who wants to build things that actually run.
What will you do:
- From Business Problem to Technical Challenge: start from real business requirements and technical challenges; work with the AI Go-to-Market team, customers, product and domain experts; translate an industry problem into an architecture, not just an idea; understand the systems, data and constraints the solution must live in.
- Agentic Architecture & MCP Design: design agents that understand context, reason and plan actions; build MCP servers and tools exposing enterprise systems safely to AI; architect orchestration workflows where agents, applications and humans collaborate; explore emerging agent architectures against real industry problems.
- Engineering & Integration: engineer the solution with AppCentral and Aptean technologies; connect AI to industry-specific ERP and enterprise applications; build for reliability, security and enterprise-grade quality; use and improve Aptean's AI powered development frameworks along the way.
- Validation, Hardening & Scale: evaluate whether the AI actually solves the problem; harden the solution: reliability, security, performance and engineering quality; document the architecture and the decisions behind it; prepare successful capabilities for broader adoption across Aptean.
You might belong here if:
- You're completing the final year of an engineering or Master's degree
- You're excited by Agentic AI, LLMs and modern software engineering.
- You enjoy turning ambiguous problems into working systems.
- You write code and you like shipping things that work.
- You think in systems, not just in features.
- You're comfortable learning technologies you haven't used before.
- You want to understand why a business works the way it does - not just the API.
- You take ownership of what you build.
- You enjoy working with engineers, business experts and customers.
- You're fluent in English and French.
- You are a final-year student / apprentice or graduate with up to two years of experience.
- Previous experience through internships, apprenticeships or an initial role in software engineering, AI, data or enterprise software development is valuable but not mandatory.
What do we offer:
- The opportunity to grow your career within a leading global software company.
- Exposure to international teams, projects, and stakeholders across multiple product lines.
- A hybrid work model, including regular collaboration from our Paris office.
- A supportive environment that encourages learning, development, and career progression.
- The chance to take ownership of your work and make a visible impact on the business.
