Deep Learning Intern (Work From Home)

Our engineering group is split into roughly 60 product teams, each owning its services end to end, with on-call shared across time zones. More than 9,000 organisations use our HR and payroll suite, from regional hospitals to school districts. Releases go out Tuesday mornings, never on Fridays.

Overview

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. Remote, open to candidates across India. Most of our work is async, and meetings are kept short.

What you'll do

Evaluate models using precision, recall, AUC and other metrics that fit the problem. Pull data from BigQuery or PostgreSQL with SQL queries. Present findings to the team in a short slide deck every few weeks. Fine-tune small transformer models with Hugging Face for classification tasks. Engineer features from transaction, text or event data. Track experiments in MLflow or Weights & Biases so results can be reproduced. Label and review samples of training data to check quality.

What we're looking for

Students currently pursuing B.Tech, BE, BCA, MCA, B.Sc or a related degree, or fresh graduates (2027 or 2028 batch). Own a laptop and have stable internet at home. Can commit full time, from home, for the whole internship. Women returning to work after a career break are welcome to apply. Clear written English, since most discussions happen in docs and Slack threads. Familiar with Jupyter or Google Colab. Working knowledge of SQL. Available at least 30 hours a week, with some flexibility during exam weeks. Laptop with 8 GB RAM or more and a stable internet connection (no GPU needed, we provide cloud compute).

Nice to have

Knowledge of NLP or computer vision basics. Some work with LLM APIs, embeddings or retrieval.

What you get out of it

Experiment tracking and reproducible notebooks, the way the team actually does it. How to judge whether a model is worth deploying, not just whether its accuracy is high. Weekly mentorship from a senior data scientist. You will take one model from raw data to an evaluated prototype.
