About Solva

Solva is revolutionizing the insurance sector with advanced AI solutions, targeting a vast $8 trillion market, starting with claims processing. With significant backing of $6 million from renowned investors including First Round, Y Combinator, and SV Angel, our mission is supported by industry veterans, including notable figures like Paul Graham, who have previously invested in groundbreaking companies such as OpenAI, Google, and GitHub.

Our team has extensive experience, having contributed to one of Europe’s fastest-growing InsurTech firms and establishing a licensed EU bank that manages over €1 billion annually. Now, we're poised to reshape a major global industry with innovative AI technologies.

As a proud Y Combinator S25 company, Solva is recognized as one of the most rapidly expanding and well-funded startups in the field.

About the Role

As an AI Engineering Intern, you will collaborate closely with our founding team, playing a vital role in developing the AI systems that drive Solva’s operations. This hands-on position offers a unique opportunity to tackle real-world challenges in reasoning, evaluation, and model behavior, enhancing the claims decision-making process.

In this fast-paced environment, you will engage in model experimentation, build evaluation tools, refine agent workflows, and work with complex insurance data. We seek a curious individual who thrives on solving technical issues and is eager to see their ideas rapidly transformed into products.

This is a full-time internship, with start dates negotiable. Successful interns may transition to full-time positions.

What You’ll Do

  • Contribute to AI systems focused on claims decision support and reasoning.
  • Develop agent workflows, evaluation pipelines, retrieval logic, and prompt strategies.
  • Experiment with LLMs, fine-tuning, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), embeddings, and model selection.
  • Stress-test outputs, address failures, and learn to engineer robust systems.
  • Implement rapid iterations based on customer feedback to resolve complex challenges efficiently.
  • Develop internal tools, dashboards, and analysis frameworks that enhance our core product.

What We’re Looking For

  • A strong enthusiasm for working with LLMs and handling real-world data.
  • A problem-solver who enjoys tackling complex issues and testing innovative solutions.
  • A proactive individual willing to take ownership of projects.
  • A comfort with dealing with messy data, ambiguity, and the iterative nature of developing AI systems.
