Lightmatter Data & AI Platform Intern at Lightmatter builds AI features into the company's central data platform. Responsibilities include building Cortex Agents, designing semantic views, and integrating AI into Snowflake applications.

Responsibilities

Build and evaluate Cortex Agents that combine Cortex Analyst (structured data) and Cortex Search (documents) to answer engineering and analytics questions in natural language.
Design semantic views over core data products, defining metrics, dimensions, and relationships so agents and BI tools return consistent answers.
Integrate AI into applications already deployed in Snowflake, such as Streamlit apps, using Cortex AI SQL functions and agents exposed through Snowflake's managed MCP server.
Set up the AI gateway, observability, and orchestration layer: governed model access, evaluations and tracing, cost and usage monitoring, and scheduled workflows.
Package the work as reusable, documented platform components (templates, Cortex Code skills, runbooks) and demo them to engineering teams at the end of the internship.
