Interns will build a mini product using AI, launching it with support, while collaborating with peers. Ideal for curious, smart university students.
Dates: 19 January – 27 February 2026
Location: Melbourne CBD (opposite Fed Square), mostly on-site with some flexibility
Who we are
We're a 100-person, Australian owned, global AI company, headquartered in Melbourne and named one of the fastest growing technology companies in Australia. We partner with businesses across the globe to solve their urgent constraints via technology solutions – primarily AI education, products and services. We also have a capital advisory business to help organisations like us grow.
What you'll do
This is an example from our Affinda business unit (it'll be different in other parts of the company):
You'll build a mini product on top of the Affinda platform and launch it. With a lot of support from our team and potentially the other interns, you'll do everything, including the coding (or vibe coding if you’re not a coder), the marketing (we'll provide a budget), and find the first users. For instance, you might work with one of our customers to specialize the platform into a tool just for the trucking industry. We think this is now possible to achieve in 6 weeks with AI and our support. You don't need to come up with the project idea – we'll help with that. But you'll own the launch. We'll train you up and help you along the way.
Who we're looking for
Smart, curious uni students who are proficient in AI and keen to join a nimble scale-up. We will primarily screen on academic results but still apply if you think you’ll stand out in other ways. We're less interested in perfection than we are in your energy and great ideas.
The intern experience
You'll be part of a cohort of 10 interns, working on your own projects but helping each other. It should be a good experience socially. There are permanent roles on offer for those who design the best solutions and evidence collaborative, thoughtful work processes.
Hiring process
Compensation
Casual, $1,360 per week (incl. super)
Interested in our winter internship program?
We will also run a 4-week winter internship program (29 June – 24 July 2026). Sign up here to be alerted when applications open.

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene
Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
