You will have the unique opportunity to collaborate with world-class research and engineering teams, transforming your innovative findings into practical, real-world solutions and contributing to impactful research papers. If you thrive on solving ambiguous challenges and want to help build trustworthy AI systems for millions of users, we want to hear from you.

职位描述
As a Machine Learning and AI Safety Research Intern, you will be at the forefront of AI safety initiatives, working at the intersection of applied research and engineering. Your key responsibilities will include:
Applied AI Research: Conduct cutting-edge applied research focusing on generative AI safety, model alignment, and robustness against adversarial attacks (e.g., prompt injection, jailbreaks, and probing).
Safety Evaluation & Benchmarking: Design, develop, and scale comprehensive LLM evaluation pipelines, safety datasets, and benchmark suites to systematically identify model vulnerabilities.
Infrastructure & Frameworks: Utilize and optimize LLM training frameworks (e.g., DeepSpeed) and high-throughput inference engines (e.g., vLLM, SGLang) to conduct programmatic LLM API calling and batch evaluations.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with multidisciplinary research and engineering teams to translate theoretical safety concepts and guardrails into actionable, deployable engineering solutions.
Academic Contribution: Synthesize your experimental results and safety discoveries to co-author and publish research papers at top-tier AI/ML conferences.

最低任职要求
Currently enrolled in an MS or Ph.D. program in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related quantitative field.
Hands-on experience with LLM training frameworks (e.g., DeepSpeed) and core machine learning ecosystems (e.g., PyTorch, Hugging Face).
Experience with LLM inference frameworks (e.g., vLLM) and programmatic LLM API calling, including client SDKs and batch evaluation techniques.
Proven experience in designing and building LLM evaluation pipelines, custom datasets, and comprehensive benchmark suites.
Preference for a 5 to 6-month internship duration between Oct 1, 2026, and Sep 30, 2027.

优先任职要求
Strong research experience in AI safety, model alignment, or red-teaming, ideally demonstrated by a track record of publications (or papers currently under review) at premier AI/ML academic venues.
A proactive habit of staying up-to-date with emerging trends and state-of-the-art developments in generative AI and AI agents.
Exceptional critical-thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills, with a proven ability to break down complex, ambiguous open-ended research problems into actionable engineering solutions.
Deep familiarity with safety alignment concepts such as RLHF, guardrail implementation, and adversarial probing.
