  • Reproduce and stress-test recent results
  • Keep clean experiment logs and present at the weekly stream meeting

You bring

  • Linear algebra, probability, and one ML course
  • Working Python, ideally NumPy and PyTorch
  • Careful, honest experimental habits

How we hire

Interest and follow-through, not GPA or program.

  1. Fill in the form

    About 15 minutes. Name the role you want.

  2. Talk to a lead

    Twenty minutes on the project and what you want from it. No whiteboard.

  3. Hear back in two weeks

    Everyone gets an answer. Accepted applicants start with their stream at the top of term.
