Research Scientist Intern

Publication track record (required) : Current PhD candidate with at least one publication in top-tier ML venues (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR).

Research focus : You work in a core technical area relevant to frontier models.

Technical depth : Strong theoretical understanding of deep learning and distributed systems principles.

Implementation skills : Proficiency in PyTorch and experience with large-scale training infrastructure.

Mission alignment : You believe Protocol Learning is the viable third path for collective, trustless, and sovereign AI.

This is a 6-month, fixed-term research internship. We only hire in Australia and the US, and visa sponsorship is limited to these countries.

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.
