About this role
AI Agent Builder Intern
Job Description: JOB SCOPE: The AI Agent Builder Intern takes workflow specifications and turns them into something executable. This role is the person who converts a workflow spec into a working agent building within the Paperclip framework, not experimenting loosely with AI tools. This role supports the company s transition to an AI-agentic operating model, where operational workflows are decomposed, documented, tested, and progressively automated through AI agents, with humans focused on oversight, escalation, and business judgment.
JOB SUMMARY: This role focuses on turning process knowledge into executable agents taking the structured documentation and specifications produced by process mapping work and converting them into working AI-driven solutions. The intern will work closely with transformation and technical teams to build, evaluate, and test AI agents that automate real-world operational workflows, including scheduling, customer support, inventory management, and workflow optimization.
REPORTS TO: Chief Of Staff To The Chairman
Responsibilities/Skills/Experience Requirements: JOB DUTIES/RESPONSIBILITIES: • Designs and prototypes AI agents for operational workflows and business processes • Develops prompt structures, workflows, and tool integrations for AI-enabled solutions • Builds and executes testing frameworks to evaluate AI agent performance and accuracy • Assists with deployment and sandbox testing of AI workflow solutions • Monitors and documents agent performance, latency, and operational effectiveness • Collaborates with business stakeholders to understand workflow requirements • Supports troubleshooting, debugging, and optimization of AI solutions • Participates in solution design discussions and technical planning sessions • Maintains documentation for AI workflows, testing procedures, and configurations • Researches emerging AI tools and technologies relevant to operational transformation initiatives • Converts process maps into agent workflow designs, including tools, memory, guardrails, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints • Builds evaluation datasets from real operational scenarios and edge cases • Documents agent failure modes, confidence thresholds, and escalation criteria • Builds AI agents against future-state workflow designs, not merely current-state process maps, ensuring that agents reinforce simplified, improved, and scalable operating patterns • Flags when a workflow is not ready for automation identifying when a workflow is too ambiguous, too exception-heavy, too dependent on missing data, or too poorly controlled to automate yet, feeding that feedback into the redesign loop • Performs other duties as assigned
