What it's all about
While Your Peers Are Still Reading Academic Papers About AI, You Could Be Deploying It.
You've spent the last year watching generative AI evolve from interesting demos to genuinely transformative technology. You're not just reading the Anthropic release notes—you're already using Claude, GPT-5.1, and every new model that drops to see what's actually possible.
You've automated parts of your own workflow. You've seen exactly how this technology could transform entire industries and the way work in the future. But there's a gap between what you're experimenting with in your dorm room and what's happening in real businesses at scale.
That gap is your opportunity.
Most companies are still forming "AI working groups" and debating governance frameworks.
We're different.
We're shipping AI features for millions of users monthly.
We're re-engineering business processes around AI capabilities.
We're building tools that our 100+ person team uses daily.
And we need someone who gets it—someone who understands this is the biggest platform shift since mobile, and wants to prepare themselves for this new world.
YOUR ROLE
You'll work directly with our Chief Innovation Officer to introduce generative AI across four critical areas:
1. Research & Opportunity Discovery
2. Business Process Re-engineering
3. Internal AI Tooling
4. Executive Support & Strategic Enablement
This isn't a "shadow executives and make coffee" internship.
You'll have real autonomy, real problems to solve, and real impact on a platform serving millions of users.
This is the first rung on a new career ladder—one that still exists and leads somewhere meaningful.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED
The Essentials
* Top-tier academic foundation
* Track emerging AI capabilities as they're released (new models, techniques, frameworks)
* Translate “what’s technically possible” into “what’s strategically valuable for JobLeads”
* Create concise opportunity briefs that get from idea to decision fast
* Stay ahead of the curve on what's coming (not just what's here)
* Analyze how teams currently work and identify AI transformation opportunities
* Don't just automate existing processes—reimagine them entirely around AI capabilities
* Work with cross-functional teams to understand pain points and bottlenecks
* Build business cases showing what’s possible with AI-first workflows
* Contribute to internal AI tools (prompt libraries, evaluation frameworks, internal agents)
* Test new capabilities with real use cases across the company
* Help non-technical teams adopt AI in their workflows
* Document what works, what doesn’t, and why
* Prepare decision-ready materials for leadership (decks, memos, analyses)
* Coordinate cross-departmental AI projects and keep initiatives moving
* Act as a force multiplier for executive bandwidth—not an assistant
* Remove friction so leadership can focus on high-impact decisions
* Currently studying or recently graduated from a leading university
* Genuine AI enthusiasm—not hype
* Strategic thinking + execution bias
* Professional maturity
Nice to Have (But Seriously, These Matter)
* Fields: Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, Business + Tech, Economics, or related analytical disciplines
* Demonstrated academic excellence
* Frequent user of AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.)
* Personal projects with LLMs (even small ones—just show you ship)
* Follow model releases and research for fun
* Understand “context window” and “context engineering”
* Ability to see both strategic implications and implementation details
* Bias toward action over meetings
* Comfortable dissecting complex technical concepts (with AI help)
* Comfortable with ambiguity, rapid iteration, and intense workloads
* Full-time commitment (40h/week) for 6–12 months (students) or permanent (graduates)
* Available to start within 1–3 months
* Independent, self-directed researcher
* Strong English communication
* Basic coding (Python, JavaScript, or similar) is a major plus
* Experience with AI dev frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, etc.)
* Understanding of context engineering, prompt engineering
* Prior fast-paced tech company experience
* Portfolio of AI projects (GitHub, blog, demos)
* Contributions to AI communities or open-source
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
Blunt truth: Most "AI internships" are hedges. They'll have you do market research, maybe build a POC that never ships, then send you back to school with a nice resume line.
We're not hedging.
AI is core to our product strategy, and you’ll be working directly with our CIO at the highest strategic level—not buried in hierarchy.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT ON BOARD
If You're Still Studying
* 6–12 month immersive experience at the forefront of applied AI
* Work that forms the foundation of a killer portfolio
* Direct mentorship from leadership with investment banking & top-tier consulting backgrounds
* Real equity in the outcomes—your work ships to millions
* Competitive compensation
If You're a Recent Graduate
* Permanent role as Entrepreneur in Residence
* Help shape AI strategy for a company with millions of users
* Build expertise that will be invaluable when companies finally catch up
* Work directly with C-level leadership
* Remote-first flexibility (or Hamburg office)
* Competitive salary
* Portfolio-building opportunities
* AI-empowered culture: 100+ people executing on AI strategy
* Super international team, zero bureaucracy
* Company perks: annual Mediterranean sailing week, EU team meetup
WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS FOR YOUR CAREER
The working world is changing faster than universities can adapt.
Entry-level roles are disappearing—AI is taking over tasks juniors used to do. The bottom rungs of the career ladder are being removed.
You have two choices:
1. Wait and graduate into a world where "entry-level" means 2+ years of experience.
2. Act now and build the experience that will be impossible to get in 2–3 years.
This role gives you something rare:
The chance to work on state-of-the-art AI in a real business with real users.
Not a lab.
Not a slow enterprise.
A company shipping AI products weekly.
You'll learn:
* How to evaluate emerging AI for business impact
* How to redesign processes for AI, not automate old ones
* How to bridge technical possibility with strategic value
* How to ship AI products at scale
* How to influence tech strategy at the executive level
Real hands-on experience is the hardest currency right now.
