About Yasmine Mahmoudieh Design
Yasmine Mahmoudieh Design is an internationally recognised architecture and design practice working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, architecture, interior design, hospitality, regenerative design, advanced materials, and emerging technologies.
We are developing a new generation of research and innovation projects exploring how AI, digital technologies, VR, AR, 3D printing, recycled materials, and regenerative design can transform the way we design, build, communicate, and experience the world around us.
About the Opportunity
We are looking for exceptional students and emerging talents to join us remotely on a voluntary, part-time basis. This is not a conventional internship. We are looking for people who are already experimenting, building, researching, and creating. Your demonstrated ability, projects, and curiosity matter more to us than simply having the right degree.
AI and Agentic AI Priority
We are particularly looking for exceptional AI talent and may select two or three people in this area. We are NOT looking for people who simply know how to use AI chatbots like ChatGPT. We are looking for people who understand how to BUILD WITH AI and how to turn AI capabilities into systems that can perform useful work.
We are particularly interested in people who have already experimented with or built:
- AI agents
- Agentic workflows
- Autonomous research systems
- AI automations
- Multi-agent systems
- AI applications
- Prototypes
- API integrations
- Knowledge systems
- Research pipelines
- AI-powered business workflows
- Agentic software development
You may have experience with tools and platforms such as:
- Claude Code
- Manus
- ChatGPT agent
- OpenAI tools and APIs
- Anthropic tools and APIs
- Grok
- Perplexity
- Cursor
- Replit
- Lovable
- n8n
- Make
- Other emerging AI platforms
What matters is that you understand how to make AI systems work together, build workflows around them, delegate real tasks to agents, and turn an AI capability into something useful, repeatable, and scalable.
If you have built an AI agent, automation, application, workflow, research system, software prototype, or other AI-enabled project, SHOW US. A working prototype, GitHub repository, demonstration, video, or other evidence of what you have built is much more valuable to us than a list of AI tools on your CV.
We are particularly interested in people who constantly explore what AI can do next and ask how these capabilities can transform architecture, design, hospitality, research, marketing, and business development.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

An Opportunity to Enter a Much Bigger Intellectual World
This opportunity is not only about gaining professional experience.
As part of our wider work, we are developing THE Y CIRCLE, a highly curated international community bringing together exceptional thinkers and practitioners from different disciplines and parts of the world.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
The Circle explores connections between:
- Science
- Philosophy
- Architecture
- Design
- Art
- Technology
- AI
- Hospitality
- Neuroscience
- Materials innovation
- Culture
- Investment
The idea is simple: bring together people who would not normally meet, because extraordinary ideas often emerge at the intersection of different worlds.
As part of this research and innovation environment, you may have the opportunity to gain exposure to this wider intellectual ecosystem, its conversations, research, and ideas.
For an exceptional young person, this can mean exposure to perspectives and people who would be extremely difficult to encounter through a conventional internship.
We believe some of the most valuable education happens when you are in the room, physically or virtually, with people who make you think differently.
What You Will Gain
- You will work directly with an internationally recognised architect, designer, and innovation leader.
- You will contribute to real research and innovation projects.
- You will gain practical experience at the intersection of AI, design, regenerative innovation, and future hospitality.
- You will develop work that can become meaningful professional and portfolio experience.
- You will have the opportunity to work across disciplines, experiment with emerging technologies, and contribute your own ideas to an international innovation environment.
- Students who require an internship as part of their university programme or who can receive academic credit are particularly welcome.
