Research Intern
Skills
About the Role
You will prototype new mechanisms and work to productionize your research into working code and deployments. You will research modern cryptographic schemes and open-source AI techniques, iterate quickly on writing and proofs of concept, take projects from ideation to prototype code or implementation, and release your work as open-source.
Requirements
- Experience taking research projects from ideation to prototype code or implementation
- Familiarity with machine learning
- Familiarity with cryptography
- Quick iteration and development cycles on writing and proofs of concept
- Comfort with algebraic structures, distributed systems, mechanism design, or statistical modeling
- Desire to see research have tangible impact
- Bonus: existing research or writing in conferences or journals
