NoSoftware Engineer Intern (2027 Cohort)

Cogna is a London AI start-up building a platform that generates software automatically from customer requirements. It is hiring multiple software engineering interns for summer 2027, lasting a minimum of 16 weeks in its central London office, with a competitive salary (no figure published).

“These internships are for candidates who have an existing right to live and work in the UK.”

The catch: This is a short summer internship for people who already hold UK status, so a student who would need a visa should not expect Cogna to sponsor it.
