Meta is seeking a Research Scientist Intern to join our Meta Py Torch Distributed Team. Our team's mission is to make Py Torch faster and easier to use in order to create and maintain a state-of-the-art machine learning framework that is used across Meta and the entire industry. The key challenges in the team are composing multiple distributed training features to support growing model complexity, jointly optimizing computation and communication to maximize hardware utilization, and automating parallelizations to boost usability.

Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.

Research Scientist Intern, Py Torch Distributed (PhD) Responsibilities:

• Apply relevant AI and machine learning techniques to advance the state-of-the-art in machine learning frameworks.
• Collaborate with users of Py Torch to enable new use cases for the framework both inside and outside Meta.
• Develop novel, accurate AI algorithms and advanced systems for large scale distributed training and inference.
• Leverage graph-based and compiler-based technologies to optimize distributed training and distributed inference use-cases

Minimum Qualifications:

• Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, PhD degree in the field of Computer Science or a related STEM field
• Experience in one or more of the following machine learning/deep learning domains: Large scale training and inference ML Systems Research, ML theory: Basic knowledge about ML models in different modalities like LLM (Large Language Models), Vision (VITS, MVITS) and Multimodal and how scale impacts performance, ML systems: AI infrastructure, machine learning accelerators, high performance computing, machine learning compilers, GPU architecture, machine learning frameworks, distributed systems, on-device optimization
• Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience or knowledge on training models at scale using Py Torch/Tensor Flow/JAX
• Experience or knowledge on working with a distributed GPU cluster
• Intent to return to degree program after the completion of the internship/co-op
• Proven track record of achieving significant results as demonstrated by grants, fellowships, patents, as well as first-authored publications at leading workshops or conferences such as NeurIPS, MLSys, ASPLOS, PLDI, CGO, PACT, ICML, or similar
• Experience working and communicating cross functionally in a team environment

About Meta:

Meta 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 Whats App 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 today-beyond the constraints of screens, the limits of distance, and even the rules of physics.
