Key Responsibilities
- Ship a roadmap project : Design, build, and ship a well-scoped project on the Agora roadmap, with a final presentation to the engineering and research teams.
- Concurrent and parallel systems : Build and improve multiprocessing, async I/O, and threading components inside a production distributed training stack.
- Training infrastructure : Work hands-on with large-scale training infrastructure across cloud providers (AWS/GCP).
- Daily production work : Contribute to the production codebase every day, with code review and mentorship from a buddy on the Agora team.
What We're Looking For
ML background (required) : Current enrollment in, or recent completion of, a Masters or PhD in machine learning, computer science, or a related field. You can keep pace with a research-driven team, not just a strong generalist engineering profile.
Strong engineering : Strong Python and PyTorch, and experience building concurrent or parallel systems: multiprocessing, async I/O, threading.
Distributed ML exposure : Hands-on exposure to distributed machine learning via internship, coursework, or serious projects, and experience with AWS, GCP, or other hyperscalers.
Mission alignment : You believe Protocol Learning is the viable third path for collective, trustless, and sovereign AI.
Nice to Have
Top-tier ML publications (welcome, but not required for systems-focused candidates).
Open-source contributions to ML frameworks, distributed systems, or networking libraries.
FYI's
This is a full-time, fixed-term internship: 3 months, with the option to extend. Australia-based candidates only.
We work remotely across the world, with the main teams in Australia and North America. You'll need to be comfortable working across timezones.
Applicants must have professional-level English proficiency (written and spoken).
Recruiters: we aren't looking for agency support at this time. We'll reach out if we need help.
We are backed by Union Square Ventures and other tier-1 investors, and we are a world-class, deeply technical team of ML researchers. Pluralis is unapologetically ideological. We believe AI, and the world, end up on a better path if we succeed in implementing the protocol for intelligence. If this resonates, please apply.
