The Role

The BuzzFeed Fellowship is a full-time program for aspiring and hungry technologists eager to experiment with the latest AI technology to make playful and conversation-starting work. The program is both a crash course in how to utilize various AI tools as well as a chance to regularly contribute to BuzzFeed’s ongoing AI offerings. This role is not limited to engineers, but the ability to work creatively with no code tools, apps and services to build unique AI content and experiences are welcome.

Fellows need a strong grasp of the nuanced cultural conversations happening all over the internet and should be excited about contributing to those conversations — if not starting new ones — via AI-enhanced/generated content. We’re looking for people who are fascinated by social media, human psychology, and trends of all kinds. Fellows should be prepared to work across mediums and formats — AI image generators, lists of AI-generated images, gamified chatbots, filters, videos and new formats we haven't seen yet made possible with generative AI.

Fellows will work with and learn from members of the BuzzFeed team — some of the smartest, weirdest, most creative “professionals” out there including members of product, content, and engineering teams. This is the perfect opportunity for someone interested in pursuing a career in tech and/or digital media. You won’t be running errands for senior staff, or working on tech debt, you will be pitching ideas, taking assignments, brainstorming, collaborating, and experimenting with generative AI tech …
