Machine Learning Engineer Intern - Research

Other Jobs To Apply

No other job posts for this day.

GoodAtNumbers is building an always-on decision intelligence platform that is trying to replace what a data scientist, data analyst and a business analyst does. We are looking for someone who can help us push both the research quality and production quality of our ML systems forward.

We are hiring a Machine Learning Engineer Intern for a paid 12-week summer internship from May through July 2026. This is a remote role based in the United States and is expected to be 40 hours per week. Compensation for this internship is $30/hour.

This role sits at the intersection of ML research, software engineering, and MLOps. You will work on problems related to retrieval, context construction, model/tool orchestration, evaluation, monitoring, and the productionization of AI systems. This is a strong fit for someone who can move from experiments to production code and who wants to work on real product problems instead of isolated notebooks.

What you’ll work on

  • Design and run experiments across areas such as retrieval, ranking, context construction, tool use, grounded generation, model evaluation, anomaly detection, forecasting, or optimization workflows
  • Improve the quality, reliability, latency, and observability of ML and LLM-driven features
  • Build reproducible evaluation workflows for model behavior, answer quality, grounding, failure analysis, and regression testing
  • Help productionize research work through pipelines, APIs, services, monitoring, versioning, and deployment workflows
  • Improve MLOps practices around experiment tracking, prompt/model versioning, dataset versioning, testing, rollout safety, and post-deployment monitoring
  • Collaborate closely with software and platform engineers to ship ML systems that are useful, measurable, and production-ready

What success looks like by the end of the internship

  • At least one meaningful ML or LLM system is measurably improved in quality, reliability, or latency
  • Research work is backed by reproducible evaluation and monitoring rather than one-off experimentation
  • The path from experiment to production is cleaner, faster, and safer

What we’re looking for

  • 3–4 years of relevant experience preferred through research labs, internships, startups, open-source work, or production ML systems
  • Strong software engineering ability and strong comfort writing production-quality code
  • Strong Python skills preferred
  • Experience with machine learning experimentation, evaluation, and debugging preferred
  • Experience with LLMs, retrieval systems, vector search, ranking, prompt/tool workflows, or agent-style systems preferred
  • Experience with MLOps practices such as experiment tracking, versioning, model testing, deployment, and monitoring preferred
  • Comfort with statistics, error analysis, benchmarking, and translating ambiguous research ideas into shippable systems
  • Strong communication and the ability to document tradeoffs, assumptions, and results

Nice to have

  • Experience with PyTorch, Transformers, or modern ML tooling
  • Experience with vector databases, RAG systems, or evaluation harnesses
  • Experience with time-series forecasting, causal analysis, anomaly detection, or optimization systems
  • Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, or batch/orchestration systems
  • Publications, benchmark work, or strong public repos/writeups

Work authorization
Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States for the full internship period and must be based in the U.S. during the internship. We are not able to provide employment visa sponsorship for this internship.

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and evaluate candidates based on technical depth, execution, communication, and fit for the role.

Common Interview Questions And Answers

1. HOW DO YOU PLAN YOUR DAY?

This is what this question poses: When do you focus and start working seriously? What are the hours you work optimally? Are you a night owl? A morning bird? Remote teams can be made up of people working on different shifts and around the world, so you won't necessarily be stuck in the 9-5 schedule if it's not for you...

2. HOW DO YOU USE THE DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION TOOLS IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS?

When you're working on a remote team, there's no way to chat in the hallway between meetings or catch up on the latest project during an office carpool. Therefore, virtual communication will be absolutely essential to get your work done...

3. WHAT IS "WORKING REMOTE" REALLY FOR YOU?

Many people want to work remotely because of the flexibility it allows. You can work anywhere and at any time of the day...

4. WHAT DO YOU NEED IN YOUR PHYSICAL WORKSPACE TO SUCCEED IN YOUR WORK?

With this question, companies are looking to see what equipment they may need to provide you with and to verify how aware you are of what remote working could mean for you physically and logistically...

5. HOW DO YOU PROCESS INFORMATION?

Several years ago, I was working in a team to plan a big event. My supervisor made us all work as a team before the big day. One of our activities has been to find out how each of us processes information...

6. HOW DO YOU MANAGE THE CALENDAR AND THE PROGRAM? WHICH APPLICATIONS / SYSTEM DO YOU USE?

Or you may receive even more specific questions, such as: What's on your calendar? Do you plan blocks of time to do certain types of work? Do you have an open calendar that everyone can see?...

7. HOW DO YOU ORGANIZE FILES, LINKS, AND TABS ON YOUR COMPUTER?

Just like your schedule, how you track files and other information is very important. After all, everything is digital!...

8. HOW TO PRIORITIZE WORK?

9. HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR A MEETING AND PREPARE A MEETING? WHAT DO YOU SEE HAPPENING DURING THE MEETING?

Just as communication is essential when working remotely, so is organization. Because you won't have those opportunities in the elevator or a casual conversation in the lunchroom, you should take advantage of the little time you have in a video or phone conference...

10. HOW DO YOU USE TECHNOLOGY ON A DAILY BASIS, IN YOUR WORK AND FOR YOUR PLEASURE?

This is a great question because it shows your comfort level with technology, which is very important for a remote worker because you will be working with technology over time...
