About Medly AI
We're the fastest growing EdTech startup in London, on a mission to change education forever.
This is a moment where AI-native companies are reshaping entire industries, from Cursor in code, to Midjourney in image generation, to Harvey in law. Medly is building that company for education.
Since launch, we've reached over 300,000 students with retention rates that beat Duolingo, and we've delivered personalised learning with real results. We're backed by impact-focused VCs and supported by partners including UCL, Innovate UK, Microsoft, and Google.
The role
We're looking for a STEM Learning Intern to join our London team. You'll work directly alongside our founders (both ex-doctors with teaching backgrounds), our content developers, and teachers from leading UK schools to make Medly the best place to learn STEM subjects.
This role sits at the intersection of content, pedagogy, and product. You'll help shape what students actually see on the platform, work with teachers to understand how STEM subjects are best taught, and help design subject-specific features that make a real difference to learning outcomes.
What you'll do
- Review and improve STEM content on the platform across subjects like Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Computer Science
- Work with teachers and pedagogy experts to understand what makes great STEM teaching, and bring that into the product
- Help design and shape interactive, subject-specific features like worked examples, step-by-step solutions, graphing tools, and diagram-based questions
- Pressure-test our AI tutoring and marking on STEM content and surface where it falls short, especially on things like notation, working, and partial credit
- Sit in on usability sessions with students and teachers, and feed insights back into the product
What we're looking for
- Currently studying a STEM subject (Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, or similar), or a recent graduate in one of these fields
- Strong written communication. You can explain a complex idea clearly and warmly
- Genuine interest in pedagogy and how students actually learn, not just what they need to memorise
- Comfortable working through problems step-by-step and spotting where students typically get stuck
- Familiarity with UK exam content (GCSE, A-Level, or both) is a plus
Bonus points
- Tutoring or teaching experience, in any form
- Awareness of UK exam boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR) and how their specifications differ
- Comfort with LaTeX, equation editors, or any other technical writing tools
- A point of view on what makes great STEM teaching, and what most products get wrong
- Some product or design sensibility. You notice when a piece of UI doesn't serve the learner
Right to work
You must have the right to work in the UK for the full duration of the internship. We're not able to offer visa sponsorship for this role.
Who thrives here
- You care about quality and take pride in work that holds up under scrutiny
- Curious about how students think, and willing to dig into the work to understand it
- Happy to take initiative. If something isn't working, you flag it or fix it
- Comfortable in a startup environment. Things move quickly and priorities shift
What you'll get
- Paid full-time internship at the London Living Wage
- Mentorship from founders, senior content developers, and teachers shaping the next generation of learning
- Hybrid setup: 4 days in our central London office, Wednesdays from home
- Work on a product used by hundreds of thousands of students worldwide
