THE ROLE
Opptra is an AI-first company helping international brands expand into Asia — across India, GCC, and SEA — through franchising, licensing, and inventory-led partnerships. We move fast, build with intent, and run lean.
You'll embed directly with our Forward Deployed Engineers — the team that sits at the intersection of business problems and AI infrastructure. FDEs don't take tickets. They own a business outcome, figure out the system to solve it, and build it. As an intern, you'll work alongside an FDE on a live workstream (catalogue automation, O2C processing, performance marketing, or pricing) and go from discovery to shipped code. If you do well, we want to keep you.
WHAT YOU'LL DO: IN 1 Year
• Work on a real agentic workstream — not a sandbox project. Your code will run in production.
• Help design and build LLM-powered workflows: prompt engineering, tool use, output structuring, eval loops.
• Write Python scripts and pipelines that connect APIs, process marketplace data, and trigger business actions.
• Build lightweight internal tools — dashboards, alert systems,



data quality checkers — that ops teams actually use.
• Debug, iterate, and improve existing automation from first principles, not just patch symptoms.
• Document what you build clearly enough that someone else can extend it without you.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR.
• Solid Python fundamentals. You can write clean, working code without leaning on a framework to think for you
• Genuine curiosity about how LLMs work — not just how to call the API, but when to use them and when not to
• Problem-first instinct: you read a messy business situation and ask "what's the real constraint?" before opening your editor
• Comfort with ambiguity. We won't hand you a detailed spec. You'll need to ask the right questions and scope the work yourself
• Some hands-on experience with AI tooling — Claude API, OpenAI, LangChain, or similar. Personal projects count
• Basic familiarity with SQL or data querying. A plus if
