About PPRG Holdings

PPRG Holdings, LLC is building technology and AI systems to support the next generation of real estate operations, agent productivity, lead management, business automation, and customer experience.

We are looking for a highly motivated AI Engineering Intern to help us build practical AI tools, agents, local LLM workflows, and internal applications that can be used across our companies and teams.

This is a hands-on technical internship. You will not be doing busywork. You will help research, prototype, test, and build real AI systems that solve real business problems.

About the Role

We are hiring an intern to work directly on projects involving AI agents, agentic operating systems, local large language models, automation workflows, and application development.

The ideal candidate is curious, self-directed, and already experimenting with AI tools, LLMs, coding agents, automation, or app development. You do not need years of professional experience, but you should be able to show that you have built, tested, or explored technical projects on your own.

You will work on fast-moving projects where the goal is to prototype quickly, learn what works, and turn useful ideas into functioning systems.

What You’ll Work On

Responsibilities may include:

  • Designing and building AI agents for internal business workflows
  • Experimenting with agent frameworks such as LangGraph, LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, OpenAI SDKs, Anthropic SDKs, or similar tools
  • Helping develop an internal “agentic OS” concept for managing tasks, workflows, knowledge, and automation
  • Running and testing local LLMs using tools such as Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp, or similar platforms
  • Building lightweight internal apps, dashboards, tools, or interfaces
  • Creating automations for business processes, data handling, lead workflows, reporting, and operations
  • Working with APIs, databases, and third-party software integrations
  • Helping build retrieval-augmented generation, or RAG, workflows using documents, databases, and vector search
  • Evaluating new AI tools, models, frameworks, and coding assistants
  • Benchmarking models and workflows to determine what is actually useful in a business environment
  • Documenting experiments, results, and recommendations clearly
  • Turning rough ideas into working prototypes

What We’re Looking For

Required Qualifications

  • Strong interest in AI agents, LLMs, automation, and software development
  • Solid Python skills and comfort writing meaningful code
  • Experience using LLMs, either through APIs, local models, AI apps, chatbots, agents, or personal projects
  • Ability to learn quickly and work independently
  • Willingness to experiment, troubleshoot, and figure things out
  • Clear communication skills
  • A portfolio, GitHub, demo, app, project, blog post, Hugging Face profile, chatbot, automation, or other example of something you have built

Nice-to-Have Skills

You do not need all of these, but experience with any of the following is a plus:

  • TypeScript, JavaScript, React, Next.js, or other web app frameworks
  • Local LLM tools such as Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp, vLLM, or similar
  • AI agent frameworks such as LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, LangChain, or OpenAI Agents SDK
  • Vector databases such as Chroma, Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector, Supabase, or similar
  • RAG pipelines, embeddings, semantic search, or document processing
  • Fine-tuning, LoRA, QLoRA, quantization, or model optimization
  • API integrations
  • Docker or basic cloud deployment
  • GitHub, open-source contributions, freelance projects, hackathons, or previous internships
  • Building internal tools, dashboards, automations, or workflow apps

Who Should Apply

We are open to a wide range of academic backgrounds. Strong candidates may come from:

  • Computer Science
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Machine Learning
  • Data Science
  • Computer Engineering
  • Software Engineering
  • Mathematics
  • Physics
  • Cognitive Science
  • Business/Technology programs
  • Bootcamps or self-taught backgrounds

Undergraduate students, graduate students, bootcamp graduates, and self-taught builders are all encouraged to apply.

We care more about what you can build, how you think, and how quickly you learn than your GPA or formal credentials.

Ideal Candidate Profile

You may be a great fit if:

  • You are already experimenting with AI tools in your free time
  • You have used ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Replit, Lovable, Bolt, OpenAI APIs, Anthropic APIs, or similar tools to build something
  • You are curious about where AI agents and automation are heading
  • You like testing new tools and figuring out what is useful versus hype
  • You can take an idea, research options, build a prototype, and explain what you learned
  • You are comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where requirements may evolve as we learn

Why This Internship Is Different

This internship gives you the opportunity to work on practical AI systems inside a real operating business. You will get exposure to real-world use cases involving sales, marketing, operations, recruiting, lead management, customer experience, and business automation.

You will have the chance to:

  • Build tools that may actually be used by teams
  • Work on emerging AI workflows before they become standard practice
  • Gain hands-on experience with agents, local LLMs, and business automation
  • Help shape internal AI infrastructure from an early stage
  • Create portfolio-worthy projects with real-world applications

How to Apply

Please submit the following through Handshake:

  1. Your resume or LinkedIn profile
  2. A link to something you have built, such as a GitHub repo, demo, app, chatbot, automation, blog post, Hugging Face profile, or project write-up
  3. A short note answering this question:
    What are you most excited to build, test, or explore in AI right now?

Applications that include a project link will receive the strongest consideration.

Work Location & Schedule

This role may be remote, hybrid, or based near Cape Coral, Florida. Candidates should be based in the United States and available for some overlap with Eastern Time business hours.

Hours are flexible and can be structured around class schedules. The internship may be part-time during the academic year or full-time during summer or school breaks.

Equal Opportunity Statement

PPRG Holdings, LLC is an equal opportunity employer. We evaluate candidates based on their skills, curiosity, work quality, communication, and ability to learn. We welcome applicants from diverse academic, professional, and personal backgrounds.
