About the role
At American Express, we empower future technologists to learn, experiment, and make an impact from day one. As an AI Engineer Intern focused on AI Security Research in Enterprise Technology Services, you’ll join a 16-week Summer Internship Program and contribute to hands-on projects at the intersection of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and software engineering. You’ll research emerging technologies, build working prototypes and proof-of-concepts, evaluate technical approaches, and learn how solutions are designed, tested, documented, and delivered in a global enterprise environment.
In this role, you may explore AI security, agentic AI, application security, generative AI and advanced AI models for cybersecurity, security automation, cloud security, secure software development, and other emerging technologies. You’ll work with AI engineers, cybersecurity engineers, researchers, architects, product partners, and business stakeholders to turn research ideas into code, experiments, measurable results, and reusable capabilities while applying responsible AI, security, privacy, and governance practices.
