Deep Learning Intern

Who we are

Clinical trials run at hundreds of sites, managed by our clinical operations group and CRO partners. Headquarters and the main research campus are in Chennai. We started in 2007 and have grown to about 340 people.

The internship

Remote ML internship focused on real company data, not Kaggle datasets. Most of the time goes into cleaning data and checking whether a model actually helps. You can work from home anywhere in India. We have no office requirement. Most of our work is async, and meetings are kept short. Please make sure you have dependable internet and backup power.

Responsibilities

• Track experiments in MLflow or Weights & Biases so results can be reproduced.
• Run exploratory analysis and write up what you find in a Jupyter notebook.
• Fine-tune small transformer models with Hugging Face for classification tasks.
• Package a trained model behind a simple FastAPI endpoint for testing.
• Present findings to the team in a short slide deck every few weeks.
• Document assumptions, data sources and results in Confluence or Notion.
• Train baseline models with scikit-learn and compare them against simple rules.

Requirements

• Are available for a full-time work from home internship for the entire duration.
• Can start immediately or within two weeks.
• Available at least 30 hours a week, with some flexibility during exam weeks.
• A GitHub repo or Kaggle notebook showing at least one ML project end to end.
• Pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Data Science or a related field, graduating in 2026, 2027 or 2028.
• Laptop with 8 GB RAM or more and a stable internet connection (no GPU needed, we provide cloud compute)

What you get out of it

• Certificate and a recommendation letter, plus a pre-placement interview for strong interns.
• Weekly mentorship from a senior data scientist.
• Experiment tracking and reproducible notebooks, the way the team actually does it.
• You will take one model from raw data to an evaluated prototype.
