We are offering an exciting internship for recent ICT graduates who want hands-on experience building real-world software. Interns will join our development team and contribute to live projects.

Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, test and maintain software applications alongside senior developers.
- Build and experiment with AI agents and LLM-powered features, including prompt design, tool integration and workflow automation.
- Integrate third-party APIs and services into company solutions.
- Write clean, well-documented and maintainable code.
- Take part in code reviews, team meetings and agile sprint activities.
- Troubleshoot, debug and improve existing systems.
- Research emerging AI and software development tools and share findings with the team.
Minimum Requirements
- A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, Information Systems or another ICT-related field.
- Working knowledge of at least one programming language such as Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java or C#.
- Understanding of software development fundamentals, including data structures, version control (Git) and databases.
- Strong problem-solving skills and willingness to learn.
- Good written and verbal communication skills.
Preferred Qualifications (Added Advantage)
- Experience building AI agents or LLM-based applications using APIs such as Claude, OpenAI or Gemini.
- Familiarity with agent frameworks and concepts such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, tool/function calling, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) or the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
- Experience with REST APIs, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure or GCP) or containerisation (Docker).
- A portfolio, GitHub profile or personal projects demonstrating your skills, especially AI-related work.
What We Offer
- Hands-on experience working on real, production-level projects.
- Mentorship from experienced developers and engineers.
- Exposure to cutting-edge AI technologies.
- Monthly Stipend.
- Possibility of full-time employment for outstanding interns
