PhD, Machine Learning Engineering Intern

Tackle difficult problems with rewarding solutions at UXSSR.

Our internship program will provide an opportunity to work on meaningful products that will grow the GDP of the internet. Through the internship, you will work with many systems and technologies, gain experience in systems design, testing, and opportunities to talk about your work to a broader company. Each intern has a dedicated mentor, and every project is part of the team’s roadmap and will directly help UXSSR’s mission. Some recent projects have been rebuilding our statistics aggregation service, building new service discovery systems, and many user facing projects like making it easy to understand error messages on UXSSR internal SAAS. As a UXSSR intern, you won’t just be working on important projects to increase global commerce, you’ll work alongside exceptional people who insist on doing their best work. You’ll work and learn from people with ambitious standards who are great at inspiring others to do more and go further. We value technical and personal growth and see our internship program as a vehicle to foster both.
