AI Intern (Milan)

**AI Intern** **6-Month Internship \| Milan** **About Circeus** Circeus is an **AI-native holding** that acquires and scales **mission-critical B2B software businesses globally** . We focus on **high-retention, deeply embedded software** across diverse verticals. Our model is powerful: acquire high-quality SaaS companies and accelerate their growth through a **centralised AI platform** , driving both revenue expansion and operational efficiency. We operate as long-term owners, continuously improving products through applied AI. **The Role** This is a **six-month internship based in Milan** , built for someone who wants to apply AI to real business problems rather than study them in the abstract. You will sit close to our **central AI team** and work on tools and workflows that reach across our portfolio and the businesses they serve. You will move between experimentation and delivery: prototyping with **large language models** , testing what works, and shipping the things that earn their place. The work is hands-on and outcome-led, and you will see the impact of what you build quickly. This suits someone early in their career who is technically capable, genuinely curious about **applied AI** , and comfortable working without a detailed brief. You bring the questions and the energy; we bring the surface area and the mentorship. **What You'll Do** * Build and test prototypes using **large language models** to solve concrete problems across the portfolio * Translate messy business requirements into clear, workable AI experiments * Support the **central AI team** in shipping internal tools and customer-facing features * Evaluate model outputs for quality, accuracy, and reliability, and iterate on prompts and pipelines * Automate repetitive workflows so operators can focus on higher-value work * Document what you build so others can use, extend, and trust it * Research emerging AI techniques and bring practical recommendations back to the team * Collaborate with engineers, product, and operators to take ideas from concept to use **What We're Looking For** * Currently studying or recently graduated in **computer science, engineering, data, or a related field** * Working knowledge of **Python** and a willingness to learn fast on the job * Hands-on familiarity with **large language models and prompting** , through study or personal projects * Strong analytical thinking and the ability to break vague problems into testable steps * Clear written communication and the habit of documenting your work * High agency and comfort operating in ambiguity **Nice to Have** * Small projects or tools you have built that other people have actually used * Exposure to **B2B SaaS or data-heavy products** * Familiarity with APIs, version control, or basic data pipelines * A track record of shipping side projects end to end **Why Circeus** * Apply AI across a broad portfolio of **mission-critical software** , not a single product * See measurable impact from your work in weeks, not quarters * Learn directly from a **central AI team that ships** * Real ownership and pace from day one * A six-month runway to do work that genuinely counts **Ready to Build With Us?** If you're excited about applying AI to real-world challenges, learning from experienced builders, and shipping work that creates measurable impact, we'd love to hear from you!
