About this role
Researchers who thrive on solving complex problems at the intersection of agent capabilities, human-computer interaction, and infrastructure will find a strong fit within this group. The team investigates how to build, align, and scale frontier AI systems capable of handling multi-step tasks across text and speech domains. Interns will tackle challenges related to alignment, reliability, and scalability by designing training recipes, curating datasets for scientific tasks, and studying agent failure modes.
Together AI operates an AI-native cloud platform that provides high-performance inference, fine-tuning, and pre-training for developers. This role exists to push the boundaries of what AI agents can reliably accomplish through a combination of algorithmic innovation, dataset design, and systems work. Successful individuals will enjoy operating in a fast-paced environment where they can contribute to scientific publications and collaborate closely with industry-leading engineers.
What you will do
- Research and implement novel techniques across agentic domains and related focus areas.
- Design and conduct rigorous experiments to validate hypotheses on agent behavior.
- Document findings through scientific publications and detailed blog posts.
- Communicate project plans, ongoing progress, and final results to the broader team.
What you need
- Currently pursuing a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Information Science, or a related field.
- Demonstrated publication record at leading machine learning, natural language processing, or speech conferences and journals.
- Strong foundational knowledge of machine learning and deep learning principles.
- Hands-on experience with standard deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or JAX.
- Clear understanding of large language model mechanics and Transformer architectures.
- Strong programming skills using Python.
Benefits
- Competitive compensation with an estimated hourly rate of $58 to $70
- Housing stipends
- Participation in a 12 to 14 week structured internship program
