Internships

Megagon Labs invites graduate students to apply for research internships. We are looking for motivated students to solve real-world problems at scale in Large Language Model, Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, Data Management, Data Integration, Human-Computer Interaction, and Intelligent Visual Analytics, and help us transform the future of work.

Interns at Megagon Labs will focus on high-impact projects while closely working with our Research Scientists as their mentors. They will participate in cutting-edge research for real-world and large-scale problems, aiming to publish papers at top-tier conferences. 

Megagon Labs’ research projects are strongly connected (but not limited) to research challenges involving multi-agent systems to extend the capabilities of LLMs to handle complex, real-world tasks across specialized domains. Our projects focus on creating techniques that integrate domain-specific external data and human-centered approaches, prioritizing trustworthiness, explainability, and robustness. In particular, we explore how these data-driven and knowledge-intensive methods can transform and enhance tasks in natural language processing, database management, and artificial intelligence, especially within the HR domain. Internships will be in person at our Mountain View office in Silicon Valley, California.

Megagon Labs is an innovation hub within the Recruit group, which includes Indeed.com and Glassdoor.com.

Visa sponsorship is available.

Minimum Qualification:

  • Currently enrolled in a PhD program in Computer Science or a related technical field.
  • Experience in one or more areas of Computer Science, such as Large Language Model, Natural Language Processing, Natural Language Understanding, Neural Networks, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Graph Representation, Data Management, Data Integration, Human-Computer Interaction, AI with Humans In The Loop or similar.
  • Proficiency in one or more programming languages including C/C++, Java, Python or Javascript to rapidly turn research ideas into software prototypes.
