We’re building a world where AI can be fully trusted; one that is reliable, accurate and transparent. Our neurosymbolic technology harnesses the power of LLMs and generative AI, and combines it with proprietary symbolic technology.

We’re working with companies like Lloyd’s Bank, major accountancy firms and insurers to solve problems that LLMs can’t: AI that is reliable and explainable.

At UnlikelyAI, we’re building on the frontier of research. Invention and speed are core to everything we do. The technology we develop has never existed before – and we’re looking for people excited by the difficulty of our mission.

The role

Our Software Engineering internship offers a unique opportunity to work on building safe and explainable AI products at UnlikelyAI. Interns join our engineering teams to build features that advance explainability and trust in AI systems, working alongside experienced engineers who are passionate about mentoring and developing the next generation of AI-focussed software engineers.

See the link for more detail on our Internship Programme https://unlikelyai.notion.site/internship-2026.

The programme will run from 08/06/2026 to 28/08/2026, with possibility for some flexibility.

Applicants must have the right to work in the UK at the time of application. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide visa sponsorship for this role.

The engineering we do:

• Design, build, and deploy features for our core products

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including product managers, designers, and researchers

• Write clean, maintainable code and participate in code reviews

• Learn from industry experts through mentorship and technical talks

• Contribute to architectural decisions and technical discussions

What we're looking for:

• Strong foundation in computer science fundamentals

• Experience with programming languages such as Python, TypeScript, or similar

• Passion for building products and solving complex problems

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills

• Enthusiasm for learning new technologies and approaches

Why Join Us?

Team - We have a world-class team of intelligent, focused, collaborative people. We're ambitious, move fast and have a lot of fun while doing it.

Vision - We have a huge vision for the future. This offers a unique opportunity to work on the foundational layers of AI but, unlike many other companies, we're not just scaling LLMs, we're focused on a novel neurosymbolic approach.

Tech - You'll work with our novel and cutting-edge tech. Driving this forward involves solving some exciting challenges, so our team has the freedom to be creative and explore innovative ideas in an environment where our technology is evolving and maturing.

Location

We are a hybrid working company, with three days in-office as our general expectation. Our Bloomsbury office is equidistant between Tottenham Court Road and Holborn stations.
