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.
We offer competitive compensation and a stimulating work environment, with the opportunity to contribute to the future of generative AI.
Outstanding interns may be considered for a full-time Research Engineer position upon completion of the internship.
