Machine Learning Intern (Summer 2027)

Profitable, no outside investors, and no plans to take any. We grow when customers pay us. Our product started as a side project in 1997 and now has a few hundred paying customers, mostly in Ontario.

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. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in Canada. Weekday working hours, with room to shift your day when needed.

Responsibilities

• Package a trained model behind a simple FastAPI endpoint for testing
• Present findings to the team in a short slide deck every few weeks
• Write prompts and evaluation sets for LLM features, and score the outputs
• Track experiments in MLflow or Weights & Biases so results can be reproduced
• Fine-tune small transformer models with Hugging Face for classification tasks
• Document assumptions, data sources and results in Confluence or Notion
• Evaluate models using precision, recall, AUC and other metrics that fit the problem

Who can apply

• Based in Canada for the duration of the internship
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028
• Coursework or projects in machine learning, such as regression, classification and clustering
• Strong Python, including pandas, NumPy and Matplotlib
• Familiar with Jupyter or Google Colab

What you'll learn

• Certificate and a recommendation letter, plus a pre-placement interview for strong interns
• Working with messy production data and real business constraints
• How to judge whether a model is worth deploying, not just whether its accuracy is high

Duration: 10-12 weeks

Start date: Summer 2027

Stipend: $23.00-$31.00 per hour
