ML Engineering Intern - LLM Research & Development

Join our AI team at Prosus, the largest consumer internet company in Europe and one of the biggest tech investors in the world. You'll be working on the team that drives growth and innovation across the company, with your work directly impacting how millions of people shop online.
Who we’re looking for:
You'll train LLMs that transform how people shop online. You'll design experiments and see them through from execution to analysis and communication. You'll prompt models, evaluate results, and build solutions that win in A/B tests.

Preferred qualifications & traits:

• You know how to write good Python code from experience building real projects (or close to it). Bonus points if you've worked with distributed systems.
• You've actually used PyTorch and Huggingface and you also have an idea of what's going on under the hood.
• You understand ML fundamentals because you've trained models yourself and understand the core concepts.
• You can make sense of research by reading papers, getting the key ideas, and turning them into working code (with the help of your AI assistant).
• You think for yourself and can come up with ideas.
• You're genuinely curious and actually care about understanding how things work and get excited by new ideas
• You love learning new tech and pick up new frameworks for fun.
• You work well with others by communicating clearly, not being shy to ask questions, and helping your teammates.
• You're flexible when priorities shift and okay with switching from research to data processing when needed.
• You're friends with AI assistants and use them regularly for coding and writing.
• You can commit to 3-6 months working with us in Amsterdam (minimum 3 days in the office weekly). We'll work with your academic schedule.

What we offer:

• Work alongside experienced AI engineers who've released top models on Huggingface, published NeurIPS papers, created well-known benchmarks, and built many production AI systems.
• Freedom to test your ideas.
• Access to large datasets and a fleet of H200 GPUs
• Access to proprietary and OS LLMs (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Together.ai) and coding assistants (Copilot, Cursor, Devin)
• Nice office in Amsterdam South with free barista coffee
• MacBook Pro for your work
• Room to grow – people who excel here tend to stick around
• Competitive compensation
• NS travel card

This internship puts you right in the middle of AI innovation at a European tech leader. If you're excited about using AI to change how people shop and want to work on something with real impact, get in touch!
