About Selco Foundation
SELCO Foundation is a non-profit organisation dedicated to creating and scaling sustainable energy solutions that empower marginalised communities. We are an open-source organisation that works closely with social enterprises, NGOs, governments, and innovators on problem statements that lie at the intersection of energy, climate action, and poverty eradication across areas like healthcare, livelihoods, and education.
Opportunity Overview
The AI and Workflow Optimisation Intern will shadow different functions of the organisation and build practical, Ai-led solutions to address them. Working closely with teams on the ground, interns will engage with real operational challenges, prototype tools using AI and automation, and deliver solutions that have a measurable impact on how the organisation works. This role blends technical problem-solving with strong cross-functional collaboration, and is suited to students who have already demonstrated the initiative to build solutions independently.
Key Responsibilities
- Engage teams across multiple functions to understand existing workflows, identify pain points, and document areas where technology can drive meaningful improvement.
- Design and develop solutions using appropriate tools, including AI platforms, automation frameworks, scripting languages, or no-code/low-code environments.
- Collaborate to test, iterate, and refine solutions based on real-world feedback.
- Present findings and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Document workflows, tools, and outcomes in structured formats to ensure continuity beyond the internship period.
Who We Are Looking For
- Current undergraduate or postgraduate students in computer science, data science, artificial intelligence, information systems, or related fields; or individuals from any discipline with demonstrable self-directed learning in these areas.
- Genuine interest in applying AI and technology to real-world operational problems, particularly within the social sector.
- At least one personal project in which the candidate has independently built a tool, script, or system to address a workflow problem; examples may include automation pipelines, custom productivity tools, AI-assisted workflows, or analytical dashboards.
- Strong analytical thinking, with the discipline to understand a problem thoroughly before proposing solutions.
- Familiarity with tools such as Python, JavaScript, Zapier, Make, Notion, Airtable, or LLM APIs is desirable
- Availability for a period of 2 months is preferred.
