As an AI & Algorithms Engineering Intern, you’ll have the opportunity to get involved with a range of diverse projects working and supported by a talented team of experts and mentors. You’ll engage in hands-on tasks such as modelling, training, testing, and data-wrangling. With cutting-edge labs and computing resources at your disposal, you’ll use technology to solve problems in the real world.

Successful candidates can join us between May- September 2027.

What you’ll be doing

  • Working alongside our engineers building intelligent systems, developing your skills through hands-on coding and training/testing models.
  • Supporting projects for our clients to solve real-world problems.
  • Learning software development skills in mixed-discipline teams, attending stand-ups and contributing to planning sessions.
  • Contributing to our internal research and development programs, building on state-of-the-art AI literature to produce our own, market-leading solutions and compelling demonstrations that showcase our expertise to clients.
  • Communicating the results of your work to your colleagues and clients.

What you can bring

We are looking for someone currently studying towards a degree in a relevant subject, such as AI/machine learning, computer science, mathematics, physics or theoretical physics.

You will also have:

  • Interest in applying AI and algorithmic techniques to real-world problems.
  • Strong Python programming skills and understanding of modern version control (e.g. Git).

While not essential requirements, we would also be very interested if you have experience with any of the following:

  • Foundation models (LLM, VLMs)
  • Prompt engineering and agentic workflows
  • Bioinformatics
  • Reinforcement learning
  • Transformers and diffusion models
  • Robotics (including VLA models)
  • Edge compute

Please ensure your CV includes your A Level (or equivalent) subjects and grades, as well as any relevant university modules.
