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.
Sounds like you?
