Ai Intern

pstrongLocation: /strong Milan, Italy (Hybrid) /ppstrongStart Date: /strongNovember or December 2026 /ppstrongEmployment Type: /strong Internship /ppbr / /ppbr / /ppstrongAbout Circeus /strong /ppbr / /ppCirceus is an AI-native holding company that acquires and evolves mission-critical software for the AI era. Through a centralised AI platform deployed across our portfolio, we expand software from systems of record into systems of action. /ppbr / /ppWe have raised $220m+ from leading global institutional investors and serve 250,000+ businesses worldwide, focusing on high-retention, deeply embedded software that powers the everyday economy. /ppbr / /ppWe operate as long-term owners, bringing the benefits of innovation and AI to the real economy. /ppbr / /ppbr / /ppstrongThe Role /strong /ppbr / /ppThis is a hands-on internship in our Milan office, starting in November or December 2026, building AI that people across Circeus and its portfolio companies use every day. You sit inside a live team, take a real problem, and ship a working solution rather than a slide about one. /ppbr / /ppDay to day, you will prototype with large language models, build agents and automations that replace manual process, and help move portfolio products from systems of record into systems of action through our central AI platform. The work is measured by adoption: a workflow someone relies on, a step that no longer needs a person, a decision made faster and better. /ppbr / /ppYou will work directly with our AI team, engineers and operators across London, Milan and Sarajevo, and present what you build to the people who decide whether it scales. Strong interns are the first people we look to when the team grows. /ppbr / /ppIt suits someone who already builds with AI because they want to, who would rather ship something small that works than plan something large, and who wants to see how AI changes real businesses rather than demos. /ppbr / /ppbr / /ppstrongWhat You'll Do /strong /ppbr / /pulliPrototype and ship AI tools and agents with large language models, taking them from first version to something a team depends on /liliBuild automations that replace manual process inside Circeus and its portfolio companies, and measure the time and errors they remove /liliHelp extend portfolio products from systems of record into systems of action using our central AI platform /liliDesign and test prompts, retrieval pipelines and evaluation sets so outputs are reliable enough to trust in production /liliTurn messy data and documents into structured inputs that models and people can act on /liliWork with engineers and operators to embed what you build into real workflows rather than standalone demos /liliDocument what you build so it outlasts your internship and can be reused across teams /liliPresent results and recommendations to senior operators and the AI team /li /ulpbr / /ppbr / /ppstrongWhat We're Looking For /strong /ppbr / /pulliFinal-year student, recent graduate or early-career professional in computer science, engineering, mathematics or a related quantitative discipline /liliWorking proficiency in Python and comfort with APIs, data handling and version control /liliEvidence you have built something with large language models or machine learning, whether a project, a repository, a hackathon entry or prior work /liliClear written and spoken English, and the confidence to explain a technical choice to a non-technical audience /liliBias to action and comfort operating with incomplete information /liliAvailable to start in November or December 2026, based in Milan, with the right to work in Italy /li /ulpbr / /ppbr / /ppstrongNice to Have /strong /ppbr / /pulliExperience with agent frameworks, retrieval-augmented generation or LLM evaluation tooling /liliFamiliarity with cloud services and shipping code to production /liliItalian language skills /liliInterest in B2B software and how businesses actually buy and use it /liliSide projects, open-source contributions or independent research in AI /li /ulpbr / /ppbr / /ppstrongWhy Circeus /strong /ppbr / /pulliReal problems across a portfolio of software businesses rather than a single product /liliAI applied to commercial problems, with impact you can measure in adoption and hours saved /liliOwnership and pace from your first week, with direct access to senior operators and the AI team /liliOne team across London, Milan and Sarajevo, operating as a single system rather than separate offices /liliCompetitive compensation and a clear route to a permanent role for strong performers /li /ulpbr / /ppbr / /ppstrongIf you're excited about building AI with real-world impact, we'd love to hear from you. /strong /p
