Snapshot

Our 2022 Software engineering internship is aimed at students with relevant academic experience who want exposure to build critical systems and tools to further enable AI research! This internship offers someone considering a career in software engineering with a focus on impacts for AI to get real exposure to the work involved.

About us

At DeepMind, we’ve built an outstanding culture and work environment where long-term ambitious research can thrive. Our special interdisciplinary team combines the best techniques from deep learning, reinforcement learning and systems neuroscience to build general-purpose learning algorithms. We have already made a number of high profile breakthroughs towards building artificial general intelligence, and we have all the ingredients in place to make further significant progress over the coming years.

About you

We welcome applications from current students at any level (Bachelors, Masters, Doctorate) who have completed (by the time of your internship) at least two years of university-level study in a technical subject (computer science, engineering, maths, physics, etc.).

We also look for those who have experience with any of C++, Python, Java and JavaScript. If you are passionate about backend infrastructure, user interface development, distributed programming, programming languages, TensorFlow, Autodiff, ML frameworks, data visualisation/analysis or production systems this is a great opportunity for you!

The role

As a Software Engineering Intern at DeepMind, you will work on a specific project critical to DeepMind’s needs. We need our engineers to be versatile, and enthusiastic in addressing new problems as we continue to push research forward.

You might work on a team to develop and integrate applications to help accelerate scientific research. These range from small utilities, through data ingestion and visualisation tools, to running large scale simulations in our data centres.

You might also work in a team which builds the tools and infrastructure that enable AI research at scale. This team creates the internal tools that empower researchers to experiment and prototype effortlessly, organise & interpret experiment outputs with ease, and collaborate on research at scale. As an intern on this team you may work on prototyping new tools, building new features, or shipping production systems to our research team.

Example projects include:

• Parallelise scientific computations to scale across Google’s data centers
• Optimise software to take advantage of internal-only hardware architectures
• Create a full stack system (frontend / backend) to track DeepMind’s internal technologies
• Build an API to make it easier to launch automated ML experiments
• Add new features to the TensorFlow or JAX languages
• Design and implement a system to automatically aggregate useful statistics on top of ‘big data’ generated by ML experiments
• Automatically evaluate changes to ML model performance against a series of baselines

Machine learning experience is not required for this internship position.

Opening date: Friday 17th September 2021

Closing date: Friday 22nd October 2021 at 6pm UK time (BST)
