Internship 2025 — Now Open
R&D Engineer
Internship at Dedale AI
Join us at the frontier of AI-powered code understanding. Build tools that will
redefine how developers, PMs, and researchers interact with code.
Our Mission
Code Understanding
is the Next Frontier
Code understanding consumes 75% of developer time. We're building the tools to change that.
75%
Developer Time
Spent understanding existing code — reading, navigating, reasoning about systems before writing a single line.
2027
The Coming Shift
As AI generates more code, developers become code navigators. Understanding at scale becomes the core skill.
"We see a future where most code is AI-generated and developers
shift fully to code understanding tasks. We're building the tools for that world —
today — for developers, PMs, researchers, and security auditors."

Profile
Who Are You?
Level doesn't matter. Will and skill do.
-
✓
Any level (0 to BAC+10) — what matters is an impressive will to learn and build, not your diploma or years of experience.
-
✓
Strong tech skills for where you're at — you push beyond tutorials, you build things, you solve real problems.
-
✓
Can work on-site in Paris (13th district) — we're a physical-first team. Remote won't work for this role.
-
✓
Motivated by early-stage startup adventure — you're energized by uncertainty, speed, and building something from scratch.
-
✓
Great English fluency — our technical discussions, documentation, and roadmap are all in English.
