Data Science Intern (AI Forensics)

Data Intern (AI Forensics & Deepfake Detection)

Industry: Cybersecurity · AI · Forensics · Information Technology

Cyberette · Remote · 6 months · Unpaid

You clean data. We catch deepfakes.

• We're an AI startup building forensic tools that detect manipulated media. You'd be the person keeping our training data sharp — which means the models we ship are only as good as the work you do. No fake tasks, no coffee runs, no being ignored in standups.

Duration: 6 months | Hours: 25h/week min | Location: Fully remote

Timezone: CET overlap | Compensation: Unpaid | Level: MSc preferred

• Yes, it's unpaid. We're being upfront about that. In return, you get real access to the codebase, the AI team, and the decisions. This stands out if you want a portfolio entry that shipped, not a "we built a demo" internship.
• Backed by: NVIDIA Accelerator Program · Scale NL West Coast 2026 · NDA required

What you'll actually do

• Build and maintain image, audio and video datasets for our computer vision models
• Apply preprocessing and formatting — garbage in, garbage out is a real problem here
• Write Python scripts to automate repetitive data prep tasks
• Document sources, methods, and structures so the team can trust and use what you build
• Work directly with AI engineers and PhD researchers — ask questions, flag issues, contribute ideas

You're a fit if

• Python is your default — pandas, numpy, scripting, file handling. Not just "I know Python"
• You're doing or have finished an MSc in AI, data science, or security (or equivalent self-taught depth)
• You're detail-obsessed, as messy data breaks models and you care about getting it right
• You're self-directed, and we don’t need to chase you. You figure things out, ask smart questions, deliver
• You're available 25h/week min with CET overlap, goal-oriented not clock-watching
• Deepfakes, AI forensics, media authenticity genuinely interests you

What you walk away with

• A portfolio with work that actually shipped, not a course project
• Direct mentorship from PhD Data Scientists
• An inside view of how AI startup builds and ships
• Full remote flexibility - work from anywhere
• Thesis-eligible: can count toward MSc requirements at some universities (please check)

The vibe

Remote, international team that moves fast and treats everyone like an adult. No manager looking over your shoulder — but people who care whether you're learning and growing. No hierarchy, no performative busyness. Just ship good work and be a real part of the team. Different backgrounds make our AI better, so everyone is welcome here.
