The Role
As an AI Engineer Intern specializing in LLM data, you will work with our team to build and improve high-quality training data for foundation models across pre-training, mid-training, and post-training. You will gain hands-on experience with large-scale data processing, LLM-based data synthesis, data quality evaluation, and model experimentation.
Responsibilities
-
Build, curate, and improve datasets for LLM pre-training, mid-training, and post-training, including time-sensitive requests that may require fast turnaround.
-
Develop and improve data processing workflows for data extraction, cleaning, filtering, deduplication, transformation, and quality control.
-
Use LLMs to generate, refine, filter, and evaluate synthetic data.
-
Analyze data quality and identify issues such as duplication, low-quality samples, distribution gaps, and coverage limitations.
-
Run experiments to understand how different data sources and processing strategies impact model performance.
-
Support model inference, evaluation, and training experiments when needed to validate data quality.
-
Research new datasets, data processing techniques, and LLM data methodologies.
-
Collaborate closely with researchers and engineers on fast-moving foundation model projects.
Requirements
Qualifications
-
Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science, or a related technical field.
-
Strong programming skills in Python.
-
Good understanding of machine learning, deep learning, NLP, or large language models.
-
Hands-on experience with LLMs through research, coursework, projects, internships, or open-source work.
-
Comfortable working with datasets and performing data processing and analysis.
-
Strong problem-solving skills and willingness to learn new technologies quickly.
-
Ability to work independently and collaborate effectively in a fast-paced research environment.
Preferred Qualifications
-
Experience with PyTorch, Hugging Face, vLLM, or similar ML/LLM frameworks.
-
Experience with LLM data synthesis, fine-tuning, model evaluation, or prompt-based generation.
-
Familiarity with LLM training pipelines, including pre-training, supervised fine-tuning, or other post-training methods.
-
Experience working with large-scale datasets or distributed data processing.
-
Relevant research, open-source contributions, competitions, or personal projects in LLMs or generative AI.
