“Nice. One thought: cap the backoff at five minutes so a stuck partner cannot hold the queue. Approving once that’s in.”
Every change is reviewed. Juniors learn on real production code, with a senior beside them.

Your first week

Internships for the future tech force.

Sri Lanka produces roughly 15,000 to 17,000 graduates a year from government and private universities in software engineering, computer science, information technology, data science, artificial intelligence and related disciplines. Many undergraduates struggle to find industry experience before they graduate.

As Ceylon Labs AI grows, we intend to help by offering AI engineering, software engineering and other computing internships as a social contribution to the betterment of Sri Lanka’s future tech force.

Careers

Employer, industry partner, R&D partner.

Three roles we intend to play with government and private universities across Sri Lanka.

  • Employer

    Graduate roles and engineering careers for Sri Lanka’s strongest computing talent.

  • Industry Partner

    Internships that give undergraduates real production experience before graduation.

  • R&D Partner

    Applied research projects with universities that bring new techniques into our teams early.
