Communications and Developer Community Intern
Job Description
About IFM
The Institute of Foundation Models (IFM) is the research and engineering arm of MBZUAI — Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, the world’s first AI-focused graduate university. IFM builds frontier foundation models, including the K2 language model family and PAN (our world model). We are a fast-moving team of 50+ in Silicon Valley and growing rapidly.
About the Role
We’re looking for a hands-on, technically sharp Developer Community Intern to help build IFM’s presence across U.S. universities, developer platforms, and online communities. You’ll work directly with our US Comms Lead to execute our H2 2026 event pipeline, grow our developer communities, and create educational content that puts IFM’s model family in the hands of builders and researchers.
This role is as much execution as strategy — you will get your hands dirty across events, content, and community management. If you thrive in a startup environment, are comfortable working across functions, and care deeply about the AI developer ecosystem, this is for you.
