This role designs, trains, and evaluates LLM‑centric systems. The work blends implementation, experimentation, and benchmarking.

As a Research Engineer Intern you will:

  • Support the development of scalable experimentation foundations with strong reproducibility and observability

  • Help create and improve robust prompt and code-selection tooling.

  • Assist in optimizing our system’s inference and infrastructure for better efficiency.

  • Work with the team (ML engineers and researchers) to implement new ideas.

  • Engage with the research community to advance the state of algorithmic discovery.


Qualifications

  • Masters degree in Computer Science, Engineering, related field, or equivalent experience.

  • Strong coding skills in Python and experience with PyTorch/JAX and modern LLM tooling for inference and fine‑tuning.

  • Experience in applied research engineering, demonstrated by impactful academic projects or internships in LLMs, search/RL, or compilers/verification.

  • Exposure to evaluation frameworks, unit/property‑based testing, and performance profiling.


What sets the candidate apart

  • Contributions to open research or community tooling.

  • Familiarity with algorithm design, and practical understanding of reinforcement learning, evolutionary methods and optimization methods.
