Who We Are
Aleph Alpha’s mission is to deliver sovereign, human-centric AI to governmental institutions and large enterprises. To that end, we deliver category-defining AI innovation that enables open, accessible, and trustworthy deployment of GenAI in industrial applications. Our organization develops foundational models and next-generation methods that make it easy and affordable for Aleph Alpha’s customers to increase productivity in development, engineering, logistics, and manufacturing processes.
The role

The role offers a unique proximity to state-of-the-art GenAI research, and you will be able to work with some of the brightest scientists in the field.
You’ll contribute to a breadth of initiatives in a fast-paced and dynamic environment; one week, you might be supporting our model release pipeline; another week, you’ll be helping coordinate blog posts and conference talks.

- You are humble, self-aware, and a team player.

- Strategic projects: Drive a number of strategically important topics such as community-growth efforts, and extension of our project management framework.

Working student essentials
What this Operations internship in Berlin means for you: the pay rules, the social contributions, and what international students should check before applying.
Weekly hours
Internships have no 20-hour cap, but a voluntary internship longer than three months generally has to pay at least the German minimum wage. Mandatory internships in your study programme are exempt.
Working student rulesSocial contributions
Mandatory internships are largely exempt from social contributions. Voluntary internships are treated like regular employment once they run long enough, so contributions usually apply.
Check your insuranceInternational students
Non-EU students can work 140 full or 280 half days per year (raised from 120/240 in March 2024). A working student contract usually fits within this — confirm the exact limits printed on your residence permit.
