AI Agent Research and Development Intern

RCN Capital is a national, direct private lender supporting real estate investors across the country.

We're looking for a curious, technically inclined intern to help us explore and build AI agent solutions tailored to our private lending business. This role splits its time between research — mapping the AI agent landscape to our workflows — and hands-on development using Microsoft Copilot Studio with OpenAI GPT or Anthropic Claude models.

Scope and Areas of Focus:

Part I — Research & Documentation

• Identify and evaluate AI agents suited for financial services and lending (origination, underwriting, compliance, servicing)
• Build and maintain an internal Agent Registry scoring tools on accuracy, compliance readiness, integration feasibility, and cost
• Interview internal stakeholders to surface high-value automation opportunities
• Produce a prioritized opportunity map with supporting business cases

Part II — Agent Development

• Design and build AI agents in Microsoft Copilot Studio using GPT-4 and/or Claude APIs
• Target use cases such as: document extraction, underwriting pre-screening, compliance checks, and borrower-facing communication
• Integrate agents with existing LOS, CRM, and document management systems
• Test, document, and hand off production-ready agents with supporting playbooks

Requirements:

• Familiarity with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic) and prompt engineering fundamentals
• Exposure to Microsoft Copilot Studio, Azure AI, or similar platforms is a strong plus
• Interest in financial services or fintech; lending knowledge is a bonus, not a requirement
• Strong written communication — you'll produce documentation and briefings alongside technical work

Educational Paths of Interest:

• Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Information Systems, or a related field

Work Schedule:

• Full time during internship - 40 hours/week
• Onsite in either:
• • South Windsor, CT
  • Charlotte, NC
  • Los Angeles, CA
• Standard schedule is Monday-Friday, 9AM to 6PM
