Job description

Dates: 18 Jan – 26 Feb 2027 (6 weeks)
Location: Dover House, Cremorne, Melbourne, 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 accelerated education, AI products and AI deployed engineering solutions.

What you’ll do

You’ll build a mini product in one of our product areas, or apply AI to automate and improve a key internal business process which delivers value to stakeholders. There also might be an opportunity to work on a live customer engineering solution.

With a lot of support from our team and potentially the other interns, you’ll do everything, including product design, the coding (or vibe coding if you’re not a coder), and working with the people who’ll use it. 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 give you one. But you’ll own it end to end. We’ll train you up and help you along the way.

Who we’re looking for

Smart, curious students who are proficient in AI and keen to join a nimble scale‑up. Academic results matter to us, but so does everything else, so still apply if you think you’ll stand out in other ways. We’re less interested in perfection than we are in your energy, curiosity and great ideas.

Final year students preferred (any degree); recent grads considered

Great at working with AI and already apply it in your everyday life

A passion for creative problem solving

The intern experience

You’ll be part of a cohort of up to 8 interns, working on your own project whilst helping each other via peer coaching. It will also be a good experience socially.

Casual and permanent roles on offer to those who design high‑quality solutions and show collaborative, thoughtful ways of working.

Hiring process

One interview with Affinda team members

We’ll aim to make an offer within a fortnight of interviews

Applications close on Friday 20 November 2026

Although we use AI throughout the business, we don’t use AI to conduct interviews.

Compensation

Paid internship: $1,222.84 per week (38 hours, at the applicable award rate).

We’re committed to fostering an inclusive workplace and welcome applications from all qualified individuals. We do not respond to unsolicited contact from recruitment agencies.
