About the Team
We are upgrading the traditional procurement system into an AI-native procurement platform, with a strong focus on building Procurement Agents. As part of ByteDance's Corporate Information department, we design and operate corporate service systems that support the company's global business growth and improve the day-to-day work efficiency and experience of employees worldwide.
Procurement is a complex, high-value domain full of long workflows, rich business rules, and real decision-making. It is one of the most promising places to apply cutting-edge AI Agent technologies to real, large-scale problems. We are reimagining how employees and business partners interact with procurement through intelligent agents, and building the underlying System AI Harness that lets agents plan, act, and deliver reliably.
As an intern, you will work alongside experienced engineers at the frontier of AI Agent engineering, get hands-on with real problems from day one, and receive mentorship to grow quickly. It is a great opportunity to explore emerging AI technologies, learn how a complex business domain works end to end, and make a real contribution during your internship.
As a Project Intern, you will contribute to impactful short-term projects and gain hands-on experience in a fast-paced, professional environment. This internship offers the opportunity to develop practical skills, apply your knowledge to real-world challenges, and explore your career interests.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so we encourage you to apply early.

- Develop and maintain services, business logic, and data flows that power AI-native procurement, with attention to code quality and reliability.
- Explore AI Agent capabilities — such as planning, tool use, memory, and multi-step reasoning — and help turn them into working features that solve real procurement problems.
- Build quick prototypes, experiment with emerging AI techniques, and help translate promising ideas into practical product capabilities.
- Collaborate with product managers, designers, and engineers to break down problems and deliver complete solutions.

- Coursework, research, or personal projects related to AI / machine learning / large language models.
- Prior internship, lab, open-source, or personal project experience demonstrating hands-on ownership of a non-trivial system (a strong plus, but not required).
- Exposure to LLM-based systems, prompt engineering, RAG, tool/function calling, or agent orchestration frameworks.
- Experience building small AI-powered applications, Agent-based demos, or developer productivity tools.
