Meta is embarking on the most transformative change to its business and technology in company history, and our Machine Learning teams are at the forefront of this evolution. By taking on crucial projects and initiatives that have never been done before, you have an opportunity to help advance the way people connect around the world.order to meet the demands of our scale, we approach machine learning challenges from a system engineering standpoint, pushing the boundaries of scalable computing and tying together numerous complex platforms to build models that leverage trillions of actions. Our research and production implementations leverage many of the innovations being generated from Metaresearch in Artificial Intelligence, Distributed Computing, and Databases, and run on the same hardware and network specifications that are being open sourced through the Open Compute project.PhD intern at Meta, you will help build machine learning systems and models behind Metaproducts, create web applications that reach millions of people, build high volume servers and be a part of a team thatworking to help connect people around the globe.As part of our hiring process, PhD interns are matched to a relevant team based on their experience and interests.Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.Research Scientist Intern, AI\/ML, Core Ads Growth (PhD) ResponsibilitiesDevelop highly scalable classifiers and tools leveraging machine learning, regression, and rules-based models.Suggest, collect and synthesize requirements and create effective feature roadmaps.Code deliverables in tandem with the engineering team.Adapt standard machine learning methods to best exploit modern parallel environments (e.g. distributed clusters, multicore SMP, and GPU).Minimum QualificationsCurrently has, or is in the process of obtaining, a PhD in Computer Science, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, or related fieldResearch and\/or work experience in a relevant field, such as machine learning, deep learning, reinforcement learning, NLP, recommendation systems, pattern recognition, signal processing, data mining, artificial intelligence, or computer visionExperience in systems software or algorithmsExperience coding in Python, C\/C++Must obtain work authorization in country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employmentPreferred QualificationsIntent to return to degree-program after the completion of the internship\/co-opDemonstrated software engineer experience via an internship, work experience, coding competitions, or open-source code contributionsProven track record of achieving significant results as demonstrated by grants, fellowships, patents, as well as first-authored publications at leading conferences or journalsDemonstrated creativity and quick problem solving capabilitiesExperience with large-scale data analysis and processingInterpersonal experience: cross-group and cross-culture collaborationAbout MetaMeta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. People who choose to build their careers by building with us at Meta help shape a future that will take us beyond what digital connection makes possible todaybeyond the constraints of screens, the limits of distance, and even the rules of physics.Equal Employment OpportunityMeta is proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity employer.
