Absci is an AI-powered drug discovery company. We are working on a grand challenge - generating live saving drugs at the click of a button. AlphaFold was a prediction challenge; the next frontier is models that can generate new drugs. If you are a deep learning pro, there is no better way to save lives.
Our secret ingredient: We spent years developing a unique wet-lab platform that pumps out massive amount of protein data. Now we are training complex deep learning algorithms to produce better protein drug candidates.
Given the scale of the challenge, talent density is a major priority. Our scientists come from top industry AI labs, top academic labs, and have an incredible achievements.
We've raised $400M+ and have the resources needed to pull off this task. Huge potential for career growth to join this breakthrough effort.

HN often has job postings for full time positions and internships. You can also visit startuply and startupers - good resources.
Incidentally, MoviePass is looking for interns in NYC to start in Customer Support.
I reached out to Mixpanel (mixpanel.com) last spring as a high school senior (with no professional programming experience, but a couple of decent sized projects and a decent amount of experience). I ended up going through their interview process, getting an offer, and then going out to San Francisco and working at Mixpanel for 3 months. The experience was indescribably valuable, and if you think you are experienced, I'd definitely recommend going for it. Even if you don't think you are experienced enough, I would recommend going for it, because worst case is you don't have an internship, which is the exact same as if you don't do anything at all.
The "Who's Hiring" monthly threads are a good place to start looking.
First - it's impressive that you're already thinking about this. I definitely wasn't looking at internships back in high school
When I was at FB, several of the interns had just finished high school, so it's certainly doable to get a top company offer - same goes for start-ups. It's just a question of emailing them and having the experience - past projects, etc - to be interesting. Same advice as I'd give to a college student.
Try to find a local company. Advertising companies usually do some sort of web presence thing for their clients. That's a place where you could provide value.
As I said in another comment, emailing Android blogs got me a couple of app of the day type things. I also stumbled across my app being the top comment in a fairly popular Reddit thread which I responded to (as the developer) which got me a spike of good ratings and activity. To be quite honest, it was a fair amount of luck.
