I'm an ML researcher @ MIT and a student at Northeastern University majoring in CS and Linguistics. I've built large-scale, efficient software for my neuromechanics and quantum photonics labs, for satellites, and for cloud computing startups. I'm looking for internships (4 months full-time, May - August) in systems engineering, ML, full-stack, and backend engineering. My most recent project: I built https://github.com/tetraslam/SHFLA and won the MIT Media Lab hackathon. It hit the front page of HN, and got me demo requests from Stephen Wolfram, David Sinclair, Joscha Bach, and Suno AI.

Location: San Francisco, CA

Remote: Yes, or onsite

Willing to relocate: Within the United States

Technologies: Python, Zig, C, C++, Javascript, Linux, Supabase, Redis, Pytorch, Slurm, CUDA, HPC, FastAPI, Embedded Linux, Tinygrad, Concurrency, Triton, Bash, Typescript, NextJS, TailwindCSS, Langchain

Applied to ~45 jobs directly and got 2 interviews (my resume's fine, i think). posted here last month and got 8 emails within a week -> 3 offers. All at great companies/startups, uber-competent teams, and high-paying roles (like, double what public info shows). complete surprise too, since I was only looking for internships! Definitely a sample of 1, but I'm honestly completely flabbergasted by how helpful that one post was.


Huh. I suppose I should see if I can join Manolis Kellis' lab; I got invited to one of the salons he hosts at his house on the quantum basis of reality and it was really fun! He also demoed a tool his lab is building for genomics knowledge graphing, and I was struck by how incredibly well-designed and empirical the whole project was.

I'm looking for internships (4 months full-time, May - August) in systems engineering, ML, full-stack, and backend engineering. My most recent project: I built https://github.com/tetraslam/SHFLA and won the MIT Media Lab hackathon + Harvard C House hackathon.

You might as well apply for an internship at OpenAI, DeepMind, FAIR (Meta Platforms) or Nvidia with those skill sets as this is exactly what they are looking for.

I don't know any other company that is more relevant and really respects your skillsets other than those companies.

If I were you, I'd give it a shot and see where it goes and I seriously believe that they will give you an offer.


Alright, I took your advice and applied to a bunch of internships at those four :) I'll also cold email some people and see how it goes.

Thanks!

the Force is with them


I'm so adding this in the next version!


yes 100% but the reply to your comment is very funny so I'll implement it in the next version :)

the project started as a shoegaze-specific language, hence the name!
