Tower Research Capital AI ML internship 2027, Gurgaon

Tower Research Capital has opened an AI/ML internship in Gurgaon for a six month, in office programme starting in January 2027. Tower is a systematic trading and engineering firm, and this internship sits with its engineering talent working on machine learning and modern AI agent systems. It is a demanding, hands on role, so it suits students who already work with agentic AI tools rather than someone new to the field.

About the internship

Tower builds electronic trading infrastructure, and its engineers solve problems in low latency programming, FPGA technology, hardware acceleration and machine learning. This internship is an on site role in Gurgaon that runs for six months from January 2027. The stipend is not disclosed in the public posting.

Day to day work

According to the official description, an intern here would spend time on:

• Building and evaluating multi agent systems, including agent orchestration, tool calling, and integration with protocols such as the Model Context Protocol and agent skills.
• Using agentic coding tools, for example Claude Code, to speed up development, automate workflows and build internal tooling.
• Developing statistical and machine learning algorithms and models for business and technical needs.
• Contributing to MLOps work: deploying, monitoring and maintaining machine learning models in production.
• Studying model performance through experiments and testing, and helping optimise and fine tune existing models.

What you need to have

Required:

• Real expertise with modern agentic AI tooling. The listing specifically names agentic coding assistants such as Claude Code, building multi agent systems, and integrating with frameworks like the Model Context Protocol or agent skills.
• A grounding in machine learning and in writing and evaluating models.

Helpful:

• Exposure to MLOps and to deploying models in production.
• Experience fine tuning or optimising models.

This is an honest point: the internship expects genuine agentic AI skill up front, so it is competitive. If you have built multi agent systems or worked hands on with tools like Claude Code, you are the kind of applicant this listing is written for.

What the AI agent work means

Some of the terms in this listing are new, so here is what they point to for an applicant. A multi agent system is one where several AI agents each handle a part of a task and pass work between them, which is what agent orchestration and tool calling describe. The Model Context Protocol is a standard way for these agents to connect to tools and data. Agentic coding assistants, such as Claude Code, are tools that can plan and make code changes with guidance. If you have used or built any of these, that is exactly the background the role wants, and it is worth being able to talk through one example in detail.

Eligibility

• Education: a bachelor's, master's or PhD degree, ongoing or completed, or an equivalent qualification, from a top university.
• Availability: able to join a six month in office internship starting January 2027.
• Location: Gurgaon, on site.
• Type: internship.

Because the degree can be ongoing, current students in their final years can apply, as long as they can commit to the six month in office period.

How to prepare

Preparation here is practical, not theory heavy:

• Build a small multi agent project you can walk through, even a simple one that splits a task across two or three agents.
• Spend time with an agentic coding assistant so you can speak from real use, not just reading.
• Understand what the Model Context Protocol does and why it is useful when agents need tools and data.
• Be ready to explain one machine learning model you trained or evaluated, and anything you have done to deploy or monitor a model.

Applying

Apply only through Tower Research Capital's official openings page linked below. The posting does not state a closing date, so if you fit the brief it is worth applying while it is live. Tower does not ask for any payment to apply, so ignore anyone who does.

Common questions

Can students apply? Yes. The degree may be ongoing or completed, so final year students who can commit to the January 2027 start are eligible.

Is prior AI experience needed? Yes. The listing requires expertise in agentic AI tooling such as Claude Code and multi agent systems, so it is not an entry point for beginners.

How long is it and where? Six months, in office, in Gurgaon, from January 2027.

What kind of team is this? Tower is a systematic trading and engineering firm, and this internship sits with the engineering group that works on machine learning and AI agent systems alongside the firm's trading infrastructure.

Is there a stipend? The public posting does not disclose the stipend, so confirm that detail on the official listing when you apply.
