Agent Engineering Intern

Cheiron is building an AI-native operating system for drug programs, helping biopharma teams represent, reason over, and stress-test program information. The Agent Engineering Intern will build agent-driven workflows, including retrieval, tool use, state management, evaluation, and reliable backend services, while collaborating with engineers and domain experts.

Responsibilities:

• Design and implement new agent workflows with explicit state, task decomposition, tool use, and typed outputs
• Build retrieval and citation paths that ground important outputs in source evidence
• Add evaluation, tracing, retries, observability, and recovery behavior for multi-step execution
• Build the backend services, data models, APIs, and focused product surfaces required to make the workflow useful
• Test agent behavior against realistic success cases, failure cases, and incomplete evidence
• Work directly with engineers and domain experts, demonstrate progress frequently, and make pragmatic scope decisions
