Apply as an AI Specialist Intern at UBS in Singapore and help build real AI solutions for a global bank.
Join our 2027 Off-Cycle Internship Program and work alongside experts on AI agents, generative models, and production deployments.
Your role
Want to build AI that reaches a global bank’s real users not a sandbox demo? UBS is putting artificial intelligence at the core of how we work. Our Chief AI Office (CAIO) and Group Technology Office (GTO) are where that transformation is engineered. We’re looking for ambitious students to join our 2027 Off-Cycle Internship Program as an AI Specialist Intern.
As an AI Specialist Intern, you’ll help build, test, and ship AI-enabled applications that improve how thousands of colleagues across UBS work every day. Working alongside experienced engineers and product managers, you will:
- • Design and build AI agents that automate, augment, or reinvent how work gets done across UBS
- • Apply core generative AI techniques, including prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), embeddings, MCP, LangGraph, and emerging agentic patterns, to deliver real production use cases
- • Map and redesign business workflows around AI agents, pinpointing where automation and reasoning can remove friction and improve outcomes
- • Build across the agent spectrum, using no-code and low-code platforms for fast iteration, and pro-code frameworks where deeper customization, integrations, or extensions are needed
- • Iterate on agent quality, improving accuracy, reliability, and usefulness through systematic testing, evaluation, and refinement
- • Collaborate with product, business, and platform teams to turn high-impact use cases into deployed agents that real users rely on

Disclaimer / Policy Statements
UBS is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We respect and seek to empower each individual and support the diverse cultures, perspectives, skills and experiences within our workforce.
Your team
You’ll join the Chief AI Office (CAIO) or Group Technology Office (GTO), the teams driving UBS’s firm-wide AI transformation. We design and build standardized AI tools, platforms, and reusable capabilities that teams across the bank depend on, from generative AI assistants to agentic workflows. We operate as one global organization, with streams aligned to each of UBS’s key business and functional areas so that what we build solves real business problems. You’ll be based in Singapore and connected to colleagues around the world.
Your expertise
We’re looking for a candidate who:
- • is ready to defer their studies to join the program, and will then graduate between December 2027 and June 2028 with less than two years of work experience
- • is pursuing a degree in computer science, software or computer engineering, data science, artificial intelligence, or a related technical field. Exposure to financial services is a plus, not a requirement.
- • thinks agent-first, naturally framing problems as "what should an agent do, decide, and act on?" rather than "what feature should I build?"
- • understands the building blocks of generative AI, including LLMs, prompt engineering, RAG, embeddings, MCP, LangGraph, and emerging agentic AI patterns, and is eager to apply them to real production use cases
- • thinks in terms of process redesign, able to map how a business workflow runs today and reimagine it around AI agents, pinpointing where automation and reasoning remove friction and improve outcomes
- • has strong programming fundamentals (Python preferred) and is comfortable working with APIs, modern AI frameworks, and developer tooling, used as a capability to extend pro-code agents
- • pairs technical curiosity with a responsible AI mindset, building in security, data quality, grounding, and human oversight from the start
- • is a creative, strategic thinker who communicates clearly, collaborates naturally, and thrives in a fast-moving environment with high standards and real deadlines
- • can evidence how experimental and responsible use of AI can improve outcomes and efficiency
