We operate like a startup factory with experienced teams, frameworks, and infrastructure and look for real-world problems that have meaningful AI solutions and focus on building within the consumer and healthcare verticals. Our model involves incubating ideas, launching startups, and scaling growth globally.

Job Description

We are seeking an Applied AI Engineer Intern to prototype, build, and improve practical AI-driven features and workflows. You will help turn model capabilities into usable products and internal tools that create real operational or user value.

Preferred Qualifications

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a relevant degree, ideally from leading universities such as NUS, NTU, or SMU, while still considering strong candidates from other institutions.
• Strong academic performance, ideally distinction or above, alongside evidence of initiative, ownership, and high-quality execution.
• Comfortable using AI tools beyond simple chat workflows to accelerate analysis, drafting, research, and execution.
• High attention to detail and discipline in checking facts, requirements, and deliverables before sharing work.
• Able to thrive in a fast-moving startup environment with ambiguity, rapid iteration, and cross-functional collaboration.
• Strong technical fundamentals plus curiosity about using AI to solve practical workflow or product problems.
• Ability to balance experimentation speed with careful evaluation, testing, and implementation discipline.

Key Responsibilities

• Prototype and implement AI-enabled workflows, features, or tools that solve concrete user or business problems.
• Experiment with prompts, model behavior, evaluation methods, and product-facing integrations.
• Collaborate with product, operations, and engineering teammates to scope and ship applied AI solutions.
• Use structured testing and documentation to improve reliability, quality, and repeatability of AI outputs.
• Research emerging tools, methods, and APIs that can improve applied AI execution.

Why Apply

This role gives you direct experience applying AI in the real world: practical use cases, fast iteration, real constraints, and the satisfaction of shipping tools that people actually use.
