The roles we are hiring for
AI Agent Builder Intern
Most people are still writing prompts into a chat box. You will be building agents that run a business overnight, on real client accounts, from your first month. Open worldwide, and you can apply from anywhere.
AI Automation Developer Intern
Agents are only as good as the plumbing underneath them. You will build the sites, dashboards and automations that carry real customer work, every day. Open worldwide, and you can apply from anywhere.
AI SEO and Content Intern
Search changed. Half the buyers now start in a chatbot, and the pages that get cited are built differently. You will learn to build those, on live sites, from month one. Open worldwide, and you can apply from anywhere.
Graphic Design Intern
You will not be making mock-ups nobody uses. You will design the pages, brand assets and creative that go live on client sites and get seen by their customers. Open worldwide, and you can apply from anywhere.
AI Sales Intern
Most companies lose the sale before anyone speaks to them, because nobody answered fast enough. You will work on the system that answers in seconds, and you will take the conversations it hands you. Open worldwide, and you can apply from anywhere.
AI Operations Intern
Every agency is one missed step away from an angry client. You will learn the systems that stop that happening, and you will run them. Open worldwide, and you can apply from anywhere.
Client Success Intern
Winning a client takes weeks. Keeping one takes a person who answers, notices and tells the truth. That is the job you will learn here. Open worldwide, and you can apply from anywhere.
Event Content Creator Intern
Every other internship we run is remote. This one is not. You are at the venue, in the room, on the day, near Birmingham, filming a live business event on a phone and turning it into content people finish. Paid per day, a couple of days a month.
What makes this different
Real work from week one
You will ship something live in your first fortnight. Not a training exercise, not a mock brief. Real systems, real customers, reviewed by a human before it goes out.
AI is the job, not a buzzword
We have been building with AI since 2019 and have deployed 500+ AI agents. You will learn how this is actually done in production, which is very different from how it is taught.
A job at the end
The programme exists to find people we want to keep. Do well over three months and there is an offer waiting. We will tell you honestly where you stand along the way.
How the internship actually runs
Every intern is paired with someone senior and given real jobs with a written brief: the objective, the sources to read, what not to touch, the output we expect, and how we will know it is finished. That structure is deliberate. Vague instructions are the main reason junior work goes wrong, so we removed them rather than expecting you to guess. You will know what done looks like before you start, every time.
In your first fortnight you ship something live. Not a training exercise and not a mock brief, but a real change on a real system, reviewed by a human before it reaches anyone. After that the jobs get larger. By month three, interns who have done well have taken something from an empty folder to a live URL, including the tests that guard it and the notes that let someone else run it.
How we give feedback
Feedback here is direct, quick, and about the work rather than about you. If something is wrong you will be told what is wrong and why, usually with the evidence attached: the measurement, the screenshot, the line in the log. You are expected to push back when you disagree, with a reason. Some of our best decisions have come from the newest person in the room saying "that will not work on a phone, here is the screenshot".
We also keep a written record of every mistake we have made and what it taught us. You will read it early and it is genuinely humbling. It exists so nobody repeats a fault that has already cost the company a week, and you will add to it too, because you will find new ways to be wrong. That is expected. The only thing treated seriously here is hiding it.
What we are actually looking for
We look at what you have made, not what you have studied. A rough working project you can explain honestly beats a strong degree with nothing behind it, in every one of these roles. There is no qualification filter, no minimum grade, and no requirement to have done an internship before. We have hired people straight out of school and people changing career in their thirties.
The trait that predicts success here more than any other is being comfortable finding out you were wrong. Everything we do is checked against evidence, so being corrected is routine rather than a failure. People who treat that as useful information improve very quickly. People who treat it as criticism have a harder time, and we would rather say so plainly now than have you discover it in month two.
Six fields, no CV theatre
Name the role you want, link something you have made, and write a paragraph in your own words about it. That is the whole application. We would rather read one honest paragraph than a CV written to please a filter.

Questions people ask before applying
Are these internships paid?
We discuss the arrangement with you directly before any interview, so nobody wastes their time on either side. What we will say publicly is that the aim is a job offer at the end for the right person, not free short-term help.
Are the internships remote?
Most of them are, fully remote and open worldwide, because our own team already works across several countries and our AI agents run around the clock. The exception is the event content creator role, which is worked on site at live events near Birmingham. Each role page says which it is, at the very top, before you read a word of the job.
How long is an internship?
A minimum of three months. That is long enough for you to ship real work and long enough for us to know whether we want to keep you, which is the entire point of running the programme this way.
Do I get a job at the end?
If you are good, yes. We run this programme to find people worth hiring rather than for short-term help. Not everyone gets an offer, and we will be straight with you about where you stand rather than leaving you guessing.
What qualifications do I need?
None specifically. We look at what you have made and how you talk about it. A rough finished project beats a certificate with nothing behind it, in every one of these roles, and there is no minimum grade or age.
How do I apply?
Fill in the short form on this page. Name the role you want, add a link to something you have built and a paragraph in your own words about it. No CV template and no covering letter, and if you would rather email, hello@theagency.io reaches the same people.
Can I apply for more than one role?
Yes, but tell us your first choice and why you picked it. People who apply for everything usually get placed in nothing, because it reads as not yet knowing what you actually want to spend your time doing.
Ready to build with AI for real?
Pick the role that fits you, read it properly, then take five minutes over the form. We read every application ourselves.
