VML MAP’s Agentic AI Lab helps some of the world’s largest brands turn the AI shift into tangible tools, applications, agents, demos, and prototypes.
We are now on the look out for a student assistant to join the Lab as our front-end profile for AI-powered experiences.
This is a hands-on role at the intersection of product design, AI, rapid prototyping, and interface craft. You will turn ideas, Figma designs, and early concepts into working digital experiences that feel polished, responsive, and demo-ready.
This is not about writing code from a perfectly defined ticket, but about working in a fast, exploratory environment where ideas move quickly from concept to working prototype.
We are looking for someone who enjoys figuring things out, cares about the final experience, and knows how to use AI-assisted development tools without losing control of the craft.

You will build front-end experiences for user-facing AI solutions across industries including automotive, retail, financial services, and enterprise tools. The work may involve digital products, mobile-like experiences, web apps, internal tools, live demos, and physical-digital journeys.
Your role will be to make ideas work in practice — from how the interface behaves, to how data moves through the experience, to how we connect the front-end to an AI service.
The work is exploratory: sometimes you will receive a clear Figma design, other times a rough idea or half-working prototype that needs to be shaped technically.
You will also:
You will work closely with the AI Lead, and collaborate closely with product designers, AI consultants, AI engineers, and other developers on building the front-end of AI experiences: from prototype, to demo, to product-ready interface
Along the way, you will learn about the back-end side of AI products, how agents are built, and how user-facing experiences connect to the systems behind them.
We are hiring for a mindset, not a background.
You may be studying computer science, software engineering, interaction design, creative technology, philosophy, or something else entirely. Two of our AI leads came from philosophy — so the right profile is not always the obvious one on paper.
You should however be strong in front-end development, but also interested in the product and system side of what you build — someone who asks not only “does it work?” but also “does it feel good?” and “how is it powered behind the scenes?”
You should also have:
