• Familiarity with: Large Language Models (LLMs) and their capabilities, prompt engineering concepts, langgraph or similar LLM frameworks, embedding models and vector databases.
• Basic knowledge of SQL is a plus.
• A keen interest in optimization techniques, prompt engineering, and improving AI-driven workflows.

What do we offer?

Join a small, agile team (15 members) in a fast-growing, dynamic environment where every week brings new challenges.

Get hands-on experience working on projects that directly influence our AI platform and the future of automated communication.

This internship provides a broad view into AI automation and, if we’re a mutual fit, we’ll seriously consider bringing you onboard full time after your internship.

Your internship start date is flexible. You’ll work from our office at Marconiplein 16 in Rotterdam at least 2 days a week, and we offer a monthly stipend.
