AI & Full Stack Engineer – Paid Internship

Build at the frontier of AI 🧠Even the best-run companies struggle for answers they can trust. Unloq fixes that. Period. Answers in seconds, in plain language, with the evidence behind every number. Live with enterprise customers, we're now building towards prescriptive intelligence: not just what happened, but what to do next.Come build the next big AI platform with us!We're looking for a one of a kind Full Stack AI Engineer: someone who can take a client problem nobody has solved before, a messy data environment, a workflow held together by spreadsheets and goodwill, and ship a production AI system that people actually rely on. You'll work directly with the founders and the engineering team, owning client delivery end-to-end.The way software gets built changed. We build like it. This is agentic engineering, not ticket-taking. Anyone can prompt a model. We want someone who directs Claude Code across parallel workstreams, reads every line it produces, and knows exactly when the machine is wrong. You'll ship in days what used to take teams a quarter, and you'll be the deepest engineer in the room when it counts.🔑 The RoleYou'll own the journey from client requirement to production system.Designing, building and deploying LLM-powered conversational systems: chatbots, workflow assistants and domain-specific AI tools (including patient-facing systems), tailored to each client's data and domainFull-stack ownership: backend (FastAPI/Python), frontend integration, LLM orchestration and production deployment. If it ships to a client, it's yoursEngineering the LLM layer properly: inference pipelines, context management, evals, caching and cost-efficient model routing. Prompt engineering is table stakes; we expect pipeline thinkingConnecting AI to the real world: client APIs, webhooks, MCP servers and event-driven automations that remove manual work rather than add to itProduction-grade by default: Docker, CI/CD, monitoring, drift detection, testing and documentation on every engagement. Demos are easy; reliability is the productSitting in client rooms: translating requirements into technical specs, shipping weekly demos, escalating scope creep early, and feeding what you learn back into the platform⚙️ How We WorkAll code is reviewed before it merges. Architectural decisions sit with the Principal AI / Systems Architect; implementation decisions are yoursClient delivery code lives in client-specific repositories, separate from the core platformWeekly standup with the founding team, daily async updates in SlackClaude Code, Cursor and Copilot aren't tolerated here, they're expected. If you're not building agentically, you're building slowly📦 What You'll Have BuiltIn your first six months:Two or more production AI systems live with enterprise clients, from first discovery call to deploymentA reusable delivery stack: orchestration patterns, eval harnesses and deployment templates so no engagement starts from a blank repoA monitoring and validation layer that catches drift and quality issues before the client doesDocumentation and handover packs that make every deployment maintainable without youA weekly shipping cadence clients set their watch by🧩 Who This Is ForA strong T1 technical degree, with an Master's in an AI native program preferred. We hire on evidence, not just pedigreeSerious Python and full-stack fundamentals. Non-negotiable, and how we'll assess you. You'll be handed a real problem and a hard time limitNative to agentic development: Claude Code or similar as your primary way of building, with the depth to review, correct and harden everything it generatesProduction LLM experience: you've shipped something real on model APIs and you understand context management, token economics, latency and failure modesDevOps competence: Docker, CI/CD, cloud deployment (AWS preferred)Client-ready communication. You can explain a technical trade-off to a non-technical stakeholder without dumbing it down or drowning themYou own delivery and keep momentum without being chasedNice to have: RAG and retrieval systems, MCP, eval frameworks, event-driven architecture, exposure to healthcare or other regulated industries📍Role BasicsRole: Full Stack AI Engineer (Full-time)Location: Fully Remote, Start ASAPCompensation: $250pm with a world-class mentorship program and the real prospect of a FT roleWhy Join Unloq®?Learn from the best.
