Software Engineering and Machine Learning Intern

About Mint AI Mint AI is a sovereign, Arabic-first applied-intelligence firm headquartered in Doha. We build AI that is Arabic-native by design and deploy it for government and enterprise across Qatar, GCC and the wider Middle East. Our work covers the whole stack: custom AI applications, Arabic language intelligence, the communications that help institutions adopt AI with confidence, and the GPU infrastructure. We are global in vision and locally compliant in practice. Our values: The Mintality We hire for character as carefully as for skill. Every person at Mint AI works by eight shared values: * **Mintelligence:** Technology is the medium we create in. We build Arabic-native, culturally calibrated AI. * **Mintegration:** AI for All. Public-good work gets the same passion as commercial work. * **Mintertainment:** Great intelligence needs great creativity. Serious purpose and creative thinking belong together. * **Minternationalism:** We are rooted in the region and open to the world. Diversity is a source of our intelligence. * **Mintuition:** Rigorous method, plus the imagination to see what matters next. * **Minteraction:** Systems that don't listen aren't intelligent. We build for real dialogue between institutions and people. * **Mintology:** Discover, plan, create, measure, evolve. We never stop iterating. * **Mintegrity:** We never build systems that deceive or manipulate. We are honest about what AI can and cannot do. We also hold to firm principles. We put people before platforms. Transparency is non-negotiable. We decline work designed to harm. Every team member has the right to raise ethical concerns without fear. Every candidate has a dedicated values conversation during the hiring process. The internship You'll join Mint AI's engineering team and work on real systems from week one. You'll build the applications and models behind our Arabic-native AI. You'll leave with shipped code, completed experiments and a clear view of how applied AI works in production. What you will do * Build features for our AI applications across front end, back end and model integration. * Prototype Arabic language tools using open-weight models and retrieval pipelines. * Support fine-tuning and evaluation experiments on Arabic datasets, including dialect coverage. * Help curate, clean and label high-quality Arabic training and evaluation data. * Write tests, documentation and evaluation scripts that make our systems reliable. * Take part in code reviews, sprint rituals and research discussions with senior engineers. * Learn continuously and flag model limitations honestly, even when results disappoint. What you bring * Fluency in Arabic, written and spoken, is required, along with professional English. Arabic is our primary working voice, not a translation layer. * Genuine alignment with our values: the Mintality * Currently enrolled in, or recently graduated from, a degree in computer science, software engineering, data science, AI or a related field. * Solid programming skills in Python. TypeScript is a plus. * A working grasp of machine learning fundamentals and curiosity about LLMs. Experience with PyTorch or Hugging Face is a plus. * Personal or academic projects you can walk us through. * Initiative, and comfort asking questions in a fast-moving environment.
