What you'll bring

You're studying Computer Science, Machine Learning, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field and want to build AI that solves real enterprise problems.

  • Current enrollment or recent graduation in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field
  • Hands-on Python experience, including libraries such as scikit-learn, pandas, NumPy, PyTorch, or TensorFlow
  • Strong understanding of LLM concepts and agent architectures, with hands-on experience in frameworks such as LangChain or LangGraph
  • Ability to document, evaluate, benchmark, and present applied research findings clearly
  • A customer-oriented mindset — thinking about how AI capabilities create real value for enterprise users
  • Experience using AI coding tools for day-to-day development is a plus

We also look for people who communicate clearly, keep the customer in mind, and enjoy finding smart solutions to problems — whatever stage of your career you're at.

In addition to the role-specific skills above, all student and early talent positions at SAP look for candidates who are open to working with AI tools — including agentic AI — to automate everyday tasks, prototype ideas, and build confidence in AI-assisted ways of working from day one.

What you'll build

You'll work on the Business AI team, building and validating AI models that bring intelligence to SAP enterprise applications worldwide.

  • Build and validate machine learning models across agentic AI, LLM fine-tuning, knowledge graphs, and NLP for enterprise use cases
  • Fine-tune LLMs and develop agentic AI systems tailored to enterprise data and workflows
  • Prototype AI concepts with short turnaround times and share findings with engineers and domain experts
  • Articulate machine learning problems for specific enterprise use cases and define evaluation and benchmarking strategies
  • Contribute to deploying models within SAP enterprise applications such as S/4HANA and SuccessFactors

Where you belong

You'll join the Business AI team at SAP — working on AI foundations embedded into enterprise applications used across the global economy. This is a full-time, 6-month internship at SAP Labs, Inc., 3410 Hillview Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304. When you join SAP, you'll be a part of SAP Next Gen — a global community of students and early professionals with access to mentors, development programmes, and peers. You'll work alongside world-class engineers and researchers in the heart of Silicon Valley.
