Bring your curiosity, your ideas and a willingness to learn, and we’ll help you develop the skills and confidence to thrive. Start your career somewhere that’s not just preparing for the future of AI – it's helping build it.
We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds. However, we're currently unable to sponsor work visas for our Early Careers opportunities, so applicants must already have the right to work in the country where the role is based.
We have multiple positions across our different teams.
Yes. We welcome applications from students in any year of their undergraduate degree. Our internships are highly technical, so you'll need to demonstrate strong technical skills and a clear interest in your chosen area. Many successful applicants have completed at least two years of study, although this isn't a requirement. Please note that our internships are only open to current students and are not available to graduates.
In many cases, yes. While some roles may require a specific degree discipline, we're happy to consider candidates from a range of academic backgrounds who can demonstrate the skills needed for the position. You'll also need to demonstrate strong programming skills in the language(s) specified in the job advert as part of the technical coding assessment.
Application deadlines vary by role, so please check the individual job advert for the closing date. We recommend applying as early as possible, as some roles may close once we've received enough applications.
The application process varies depending on the role, but typically starts with an online application. You'll need to submit your CV, and you can also include a cover letter if you'd like. Adding your academic transcript can help speed up the review of your application. Depending on the role, you will complete a technical assessment, attend a first-stage interview, and finish with a final interview with the team. We'll provide more information about each stage as you progress through the process.
Yes. If you meet the entry requirements, you're welcome to apply for more than one role. Choose the opportunities that best align with your skills and interests.
You will receive a communication from us to let you know if you’re successful or unsuccessful in your application, due to the high volume of applications we receive, we're unable to provide individual feedback to all applicants. However, candidates who attend a final-stage interview will receive personalised feedback..
We'll review your application as quickly as possible and keep you updated throughout the process. As timelines can vary depending on the role and the number of applications we receive, we appreciate your patience. If you attend an assessment day, we'll let you know the outcome within a week, and your recruiter will contact you directly. For earlier stages, we'll be in touch as soon as possible. Please keep an eye on your junk or spam folder, as our emails and automated interview invitations can occasionally be filtered there.
Our internships typically begin in June and run for 12 weeks, with graduate roles starting in early September. We align start dates so everyone joining the programme can begin together, making it easier to settle in, build connections and get the most from the experience. There might be opportunity to start earlier providing you’ve met the conditions of the offer and received your final grade.
Graduates joining the programme may be eligible for relocation support, depending on where they're relocating from. Unfortunately, we don't provide accommodation or relocation support for internship positions.
Location requirements vary by role. Please check the individual job advert for details of where the role is based and any hybrid working arrangements.
Some roles may offer opportunities to travel to our other global offices as part of project work or collaboration. While international travel isn't guaranteed, it can be a valuable part of the experience for some graduates.
Our graduate programme focuses on technical engineering roles. We recruit graduates into disciplines including software engineering, hardware engineering, silicon engineering, and AI and machine learning. We don't currently offer graduate opportunities in non-technical functions.
