Job Description ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES**:
AI Algorithm Development Intern (Reinforcement Learning Focus)

We are looking for an AI Algorithm Development Intern to design and develop a self-learning AI agent capable of improving its performance through repeated interactions.

This role provides hands-on experience in Artificial Intelligence, Reinforcement Learning, and adaptive decision-making systems. You will focus on designing learning algorithms, optimizing strategy performance, and analyzing model behavior through iterative experimentation.

This position emphasizes AI algorithm development and learning system design, not hardware or robotics development.

Responsibilities:

  • Design and implement a Reinforcement Learning-based AI agent capable of learning and improving over time

  • Define and structure:

  • State space

  • Action space
  • Reward functions
  • Learning policies
  • Develop training pipelines and learning loops to enable performance improvement across repeated simulations
  • Analyze model performance, convergence behavior, and win-rate optimization

  • Experiment with different algorithms such as:

  • Q-Learning
    SARSA

  • Deep Q-Network (DQN)
  • Policy-based methods
  • Optimize model parameters and improve learning efficiency
  • Conduct benchmarking and comparative evaluation of different AI strategies
  • Document algorithm design, experimental results, and learning insights
  • Present findings and performance improvements clearly to stakeholders

What You Will Gain:

  • Hands-on experience in Reinforcement Learning and Game AI:

  • Practical exposure to AI experimentation and performance optimization

  • Experience implementing AI models from scratch
  • Opportunity to work on real-world adaptive decision systems

This position is part of our Early Career program at WD. Our Early Career program is designed to support individuals beginning their professional career by providing the foundational training through a structured onboarding, mentorship, and development curriculum.
Qualifications REQUIRED**:

  • Machine Learning concepts

  • Model training and evaluation
  • Optimization techniques
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Good command of English (verbal and written)
  • Internship period: Minimum 3 months starting July 2026

PREFERRED:

  • Knowledge or project experience in:

  • Reinforcement Learning (Q-Learning, SARSA, Policy Gradient, Deep Q-Network)

  • Game AI development
  • Self-learning or adaptive systems
  • Strategy optimization algorithms (Minimax, Monte Carlo Tree Search)

  • Experience with:

  • TensorFlow or PyTorch

  • Simulation environments
  • Reward function design
  • Performance benchmarking and model tuning
  • Experience implementing AI models from scratch (not only using high-level libraries)

SKILLS:

  • Ability to design and implement an AI algorithm that learns from repeated interactions and improves decision-making over time

  • Ability to:

  • Define state space and action space

  • Design reward mechanisms
  • Implement training loops and convergence logic
  • Evaluate model performance and learning efficiency
  • Strong debugging and experimentation mindset
  • Ability to analyze learning behavior and optimize strategy performance
