About the role

As a Forward Deployed Engineer Intern, you will work alongside a senior FDE on real client engagements with leading AI labs. You will own concrete pieces of those engagements - writing scripts to process and analyze data, building automated quality checks, and helping validate that the data we deliver is good enough to ship. The work is hands-on, fast-paced, and rarely arrives with a complete spec.

This is not a shadowing internship. You will be expected to take ownership of your projects, work through ambiguity with your manager, and ship work that real clients depend on. If you do well, you will see your work translate directly into how frontier AI models are trained and evaluated.
