AI / Machine Learning intern

Company Overview
We are a forward-thinking tech startup, founded by experienced technology, security, and design specialists with four successful exits. Frustrated by the lack of trust in traditional messaging platforms — particularly in business communications — we created a new standard: a platform where users retain full control of their data, not the platform owner.

Our product empowers businesses and individuals to communicate securely and privately, with industry-leading innovations such as end-to-end encryption, geofencing, and continuous facial recognition — verifying not just the device but the actual person engaging with it.

About the Role
We are looking for a Technology Intern with a strong academic background and passion for machine learning, computer vision, and advanced biometric systems. You will work directly with our senior technology team on projects that enhance and extend our platform’s capabilities, particularly around biometric authentication and object recognition using machine learning.

We are looking for tenacious individuals with an eye for detail, a deep love for technology, and the courage to push new ideas forward. Ideal candidates are the ones who often lead technical projects among their peers — bold, innovative, yet able to work within a focused plan to drive real results.

If you’re excited about building AI and machine learning solutions in a security-first environment, and want to work on cutting-edge real-world applications, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

  • Research and develop machine learning models for biometric authentication (facial recognition, object identification).

  • Explore and experiment with frameworks such as TensorFlow and other modern ML libraries.

  • Support the optimization and integration of AI/ML models into real-time mobile and desktop applications.

  • Collaborate with engineering and design teams to deliver practical, scalable technology solutions.

  • Analyze system performance and model accuracy; recommend improvements based on findings.

  • Stay up-to-date with emerging technologies in AI, computer vision, and cybersecurity.

Ideal Profile

  • Postgraduate or final-year graduate student specializing in Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, or related fields.

  • Experience working with TensorFlow and familiarity with other ML frameworks.

  • Strong interest in biometric systems, object identification, and applied AI.

  • Analytical mindset, highly detail-oriented, and motivated to solve complex problems.

  • Courageous in proposing new solutions and rigorous in evaluating them.

  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, startup environment where innovation is constant.

  • Strong communication skills and ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams.

Internship Details

  • Duration: 6 months

  • Location: Remote (preferably UK or Portugal, GMT time zone), with the possibility of working onsite in Portugal.

  • Compensation: £1000-£1200 monthly 

This is not a theoretical exercise — it’s an opportunity to apply your knowledge of machine learning and biometrics to real-world, high-impact problems in a company that’s redefining secure communication. If you have the ambition, resilience, and technical ability to lead at the cutting edge, we look forward to hearing from you.
