Who we are looking for — our culture
We are seeking fun, curious, innovating talent who take the AIC mission to heart: explore every possible mechanism — a joke, a cartoon, a cloned voice, a virtual escape room, a mug — to bring joy and laughter to people, and to the ones who care for them.
- 😄Fun first. We build comedy; if a feature does not make one of us laugh in the demo, it is not done. Bring your own sense of humour — every kind is welcome.
- 🔍Curious by default. New model on Tuesday, prototype on Wednesday, verdict on Thursday. We read papers, try things, and throw away most of them cheerfully.
- 🛠Innovating, not just building. Nobody hands you a spec: you spot the mechanism that could make someone smile and you make it real, end to end.
- ❤️Mission to the heart. Behind every joke there is a cared-for person and someone who loves them. Kindness beats cleverness when they conflict.
- 🚀Ship every week. Small team, real users, short loops. You will see your work in a living room within days, not quarters.
- 🌍Remote and honest. Async by default, plain words, no politics. We say what did not work and fix it together.
If this sounds like you and none of the openings below fits exactly, write to us anyway — tell us the mechanism for joy you would build first.
AI/ML Engineering Intern — 2026 (two positions)
Paid internship · Remote · 3–6 months, 20–40 h/week · Start dates: January 2027 and May 2027 (flexible)
You will work on the engine that writes and illustrates our jokes: prompt design and evaluation, best-of-N generation with an automated comedy judge, image and video generation pipelines (Gemini, Veo, Qwen-Image on our on-prem DGX), and the measurement that tells us whether a joke actually landed. Real users, real feedback, weekly releases — with a mentor who reviews every pull request.
What you will do
- Design and run evaluations of joke quality (LLM-as-judge, human-rated sets, A/B by humour category and language).
- Improve the multilingual generation pipeline (10 languages) and its guardrails.
- Build small tools: datasets from our feedback loop, dashboards on control.myjokes.ai, a fine-tuning experiment or two.
- Help move parts of the pipeline from cloud APIs to local open-weight models and measure the trade-offs.
You bring
- Currently enrolled in, or recently graduated from, a degree with a machine-learning or NLP component (any level).
- Comfortable Python; you have used at least one LLM API and one of PyTorch / diffusers / Hugging Face.
- Curiosity about why something is funny — and the patience to measure it instead of guessing.
- Working English; a second language among French, Spanish, Italian, Hindi, Chinese, Russian, Danish, Hebrew or Persian is a plus.
Compensation
USD 22–32 per hour depending on level and location, paid internship (this is not an academic-credit-only role). Equipment stipend for the duration. Flexible hours across time zones.

Humorist — part-time (several positions)
Part-time · Remote · Independent contractor or part-time employee depending on your country · 5–15 h/week
Our AI writes thousands of jokes a month. A human comedian decides which ones deserve a person. You will rate, rewrite and occasionally write jokes for specific people and cultures, and your verdicts train the judge that picks what gets sent. We are hiring humorists per language: English, French, Spanish, Italian, Hindi, Chinese, Russian, Danish, Hebrew and Persian.
What you will do
- Rate batches of generated jokes (funny / flat / unsafe) with a one-line reason — the reason matters more than the score.
- Punch up the ones that are close: tighter set-up, better rhythm, a real turn.
- Flag what an outsider would miss: local references, taboo lines, the joke that is fine in one country and rude in another.
- Occasionally write from scratch for a holiday, a birthday, a very specific person.
You bring
- Proof that you are funny in your language: a stand-up set, a sketch, a column, a comic, a newsletter, a very good Twitter/Bluesky feed — something we can read or watch.
- Native-level command of at least one of our ten languages and its comedic culture.
- Reliability: batches come weekly and have deadlines. A good ear beats a big following.
Compensation
USD 25–45 per hour (or the local equivalent) depending on language and experience, invoiced monthly; credited in the product for jokes you author, if you wish.

QA Cloud & Mobile Lead
Full-time · Remote · Reports to the founder
You will own quality for a product that spans an AWS serverless backend (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3, SES, EventBridge), a React Native app on Google Play and the App Store, a dozen public web toys, and an on-prem GPU worker. Today our safety net is a daily GitHub-Actions health check, ~2,500 pytest and Jest tests and a public status page; you will turn that into a real quality practice without slowing a team that ships daily.
What you will do
- Own the test strategy end to end: unit, contract, headless end-to-end (Playwright), device testing on Android and iOS, release gates for Play Console and TestFlight.
- Build the mobile lab: device matrix, crash monitoring, store-review readiness (we have been through a Play policy rejection — you will make sure the next one never happens).
- Extend the health monitoring and the status page; drive incident write-ups and the fixes that follow.
- Review pull requests for testability, and pair with the founder and the AI assistants that write much of the code.
You bring
- 5+ years in QA / test engineering, with at least 2 leading quality for a mobile app in production on both stores.
- Hands-on with AWS serverless services and CI (GitHub Actions or similar); comfortable reading Python and JavaScript.
- Experience testing systems whose output is non-deterministic (LLM / generative media) is a strong plus.
- Clear written English; you document what you find and what you decided.
Compensation
USD 110,000–150,000 per year depending on experience and location, plus equity in ShedInnovations LLC; for candidates outside the United States we hire through an employer-of-record or as a contractor at an equivalent rate. Remote, with occasional overlap with US Pacific hours.
