Weill Cornell Medicine is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion.

Our Machine Learning Engineering Internship is a 10-week immersive experience designed for students who are passionate about building the systems at the intersection of machine learning, large-scale data, and markets.

As a Machine Learning Engineering Intern, you'll work on high-impact projects that closely reflect the challenges and workflows of our full-time engineering team. You'll apply your software engineering skills to real machine learning systems while developing a deep understanding of how machine learning integrates into Susquehanna's research and trading systems. A model is useful only if it can be trained quickly, fed reliably, and run fast enough to act on - our engineers own the systems that make that true, and we scope intern projects the same way.

Susquehanna's proprietary datasets and computing infrastructure - including a rapidly growing cluster of thousands of high-end GPUs - support computationally intensive training, simulation, and rapid experimentation. Engineering teams here are small and highly collaborative, ideas are debated openly, and work that proves out reaches production quickly.

What You Can Expect • Build and optimize training pipelines that run across our GPU infrastructure, including distributed training for large models • Work on inference and deployment — the latency, throughput, and cost of models running in production trading systems • Develop the data infrastructure behind our research, moving large and noisy market datasets through ingestion, storage, and transformation • Profile and benchmark machine learning workloads, and contribute to the internal libraries and open-source tools our researchers rely on every day • One-on-one mentorship from experienced engineers and researchers • Participate in a comprehensive education program with deep dives into Susquehanna's ML, quant, and trading practices • No prior finance background required

What We’re Looking For • Currently pursuing a Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in computer science, machine learning, electrical engineering, mathematics, physics, statistics, or a related technical field. Intention to graduate and begin full time employment by August 2028 • Strong programming skills in Python, working comfort in a systems language such as C++, a plus • Hands-on experience with machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch or JAX that goes beyond calling the API - training at scale, extending a library, or making an existing workflow measurably faster • Exposure to the systems machine learning runs on: distributed training, GPU programming, orchestration, or large-scale data processing. We're more interested in what you did with a tool and what it changed than in seeing it named on a list • Experience with GPU kernel programming in CUDA, Triton, or CuTe DSL • Solid computer science fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, concurrency, and an understanding of how software behaves on real hardware • A project, system, or open-source contribution you can walk through in detail - what you designed, what you decided, and what you specifically did • Deep interest in solving complex problems and a drive to innovate in a fast-paced, competitive environment

We offer opportunities to do your life’s work while helping solve one of the most important technical and moral challenges of our time.

Full-time, in-office in Emeryville, California. Compensation includes equity.

Build the reliable systems that carry our data from an assay recording to a reproducible model, an evaluated prediction, and a usable recommendation for the next experiment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own pipelines for ingesting, validating, versioning, and joining assay videos, metadata, compound records, model features, and experimental outcomes
  • Build reproducible training and evaluation infrastructure with clear data lineage, model versioning, automated tests, and auditable outputs
  • Design interfaces between computer vision, molecular models, active-learning systems, and the lab workflow

Qualifications

  • Strong production software engineering experience in Python and modern machine-learning or data systems
  • Experience deploying and operating model-training, feature, evaluation, or inference pipelines in a cloud environment
  • Fluency with testing, observability, data validation, version control, and reproducible computational workflows
