Software Engineer Intern, Machine Learning (Fall 2026) at DatologyAI
Date: 11 hours ago
City: Redwood City, CA
Contract type: Intern
About The Company
Models are what they eat. But a large portion of training compute is wasted training on data that are already learned, irrelevant, or even harmful, leading to worse models that cost more to train and deploy.
At DatologyAI, we’ve built a state of the art data curation suite to automatically curate and optimize petabytes of data to create the best possible training data for your models. Training on curated data can dramatically reduce training time and cost (7-40x faster training depending on the use case), dramatically increase model performance as if you had trained on >10x more raw data without increasing the cost of training, and allow smaller models with fewer than half the parameters to outperform larger models despite using far less compute at inference time, substantially reducing the cost of deployment. For more details, check out our recent blog posts sharing our high-level results for text models and image-text models.
We raised a total of $57.5M in two rounds, a Seed and Series A. Our investors include Felicis Ventures, Radical Ventures, Amplify Partners, Microsoft, Amazon, and AI visionaries like Geoff Hinton, Yann LeCun, Jeff Dean, and many others who deeply understand the importance and difficulty of identifying and optimizing the best possible training data for models. Our team has pioneered this frontier research area and has the deep expertise on both data research and data engineering necessary to solve this incredibly challenging problem and make data curation easy for anyone who wants to train their own model on their own data.
This role is based in Redwood City, CA. We are in office 4 days a week.
About The Role
We’re looking for a Software Engineer Intern to join our Machine Learning team at DatologyAI during Fall 2026. You’ll work alongside experienced engineers and researchers to design, prototype, and deploy the ML systems that power our data curation platform. Our work sits at the intersection of large-scale infrastructure, machine learning research, and data quality — building systems that make model training faster, cheaper, and smarter.
As an intern, you’ll take on impactful projects that touch real production workflows, from scaling data pipelines to implementing experimental research ideas. You’ll gain hands-on experience building ML systems in a fast-paced, deeply technical environment while learning how world-class teams approach AI infrastructure.
What You'll Work On
This is a paid internship with a standard monthly stipend. If you are not currently located in the Bay Area, we provide a relocation stipend to help cover travel and living expenses during your three months on-site.
We offer a comprehensive benefits package to support our employees' well-being and professional growth:
