Let's Build Something Amazing Together

In NICE, Do NICE, Get NICE.

NICE is officially 2 years old! Along the way, we've connected 400+ top-tier AI scientists, founders, and investors, building a global community of over 150,000 AI enthusiasts.

Things are moving incredibly fast—our project pipeline is growing way faster than our team size O.o. Now, we are looking for driven, reliable, and awesome people to join us and help make NICE even better.

👉

Path 1: Join the Committee (Core Think Tank)

We are looking for active forces on the AI frontline. You are welcome to apply if you are a:

  • Research Pioneer: A PhD student or researcher with a solid academic foundation, working actively in the lab.
  • Industry Expert: A tech leader or engineer driving AI innovation at a top-tier tech company.
  • Startup Innovator: A founder riding the wave of AI entrepreneurship.

Come collaborate with our 60+ core members from top global universities, tech giants, and VCs to shape a platform with true global influence.

👉

Path 2: Become a Volunteer (Co-Creator)

Are you genuinely curious about AI? Are you proactive and reliable? (University students are highly preferred as flexible schedules work best!)

Choose the track that fits you:

  • China Market Focus: WeChat Official Account / Xiaohongshu content editing and promotion; Bilibili / WeChat Video live-stream support.
  • Global Market Focus: LinkedIn / Luma copywriting and promotion; YouTube live-stream operations.

Don't worry if you don't know it all yet—we will guide you step-by-step. It's not as hard as you think!

💡 To Be Clear: We Don't Do "Grunt Work"

Joining NICE doesn't mean doing mechanical, repetitive tasks. We want "partners" who are truly involved in content creation, event planning, and community building.
Every piece of content you create and every event you support will be seen, and it will become a concrete part of your resume. You won't just be a "nameless intern"—you will be a creator with real, credited impact.

What's in it for you?
