Job Title: AI Researcher Intern

Location: United States (Remote)

We are currently seeking candidates that are bilingual in Mandarin Chinese and English. The estimated pay-rate will be $30 per hour, depending on education level. 

Responsibilities will be dependent on core research function, and can be responsible for one or two of the below areas:

Harness Architecture Design & Implementation

  • Research and design Agent execution framework, providing standardized runtime environment for intelligent agents
  • Implement tool call orchestration mechanism, supporting unified abstraction for function calling, API integration, and external system interaction
  • Build execution sandbox environment to ensure safety and controllability of Agent operations
  • Design task decomposition and planning engine, supporting automatic breakdown of complex goals and execution path optimization
  • Implement execution state tracking and anomaly recovery mechanisms to ensure reliability of long-running tasks

Memory System Architecture Development

  • Design hierarchical memory architecture, covering storage and retrieval mechanisms for working memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory
  • Research memory compression and summarization techniques, enabling efficient storage of massive interaction history while preserving key information
  • Build context-aware memory system, supporting multi-dimensional memory association based on time, task, and user
  • Develop memory retrieval augmentation mechanisms, achieving deep integration of RAG and Agent memory
  • Explore memory forgetting and update strategies, balancing memory capacity with information timeliness

Multi-Agent Collaboration Architecture

  • Research multi-Agent system architecture, design communication protocols and collaboration mechanisms between Agents
  • Implement role specialization and task allocation algorithms, supporting orchestration of expert Agents, coordinator Agents, executor Agents, and other roles
  • Build consensus achievement and conflict resolution mechanisms to handle decision disagreements among multiple Agents
  • Design Agent social behavior norms, simulating communication, negotiation, and feedback patterns in human team collaboration
  • Explore emergent behavior and collective intelligence, researching self-organization and adaptive capabilities in multi-Agent systems

General Architecture Capabilities

  • Design Agent evaluation and benchmarking system, establishing quantitative capability metrics
  • Build Agent behavior interpretability framework, supporting decision process tracing and attribution analysis
  • Research Agent safety alignment mechanisms to prevent risks such as unauthorized operations, harmful outputs, and goal drift
  • Track cutting-edge Agentic AI research and translate academic achievements into engineering practice

Job Requirements

Basic Qualifications

  • Must be currently pursuing a Master's degree or PhD in an AI related discipline. 

Programming & Engineering

  • Experience in large-scale distributed system design and implementation
  • Familiar with containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes

AI Expertise

  • Deep understanding of Transformer architecture and large model principles
  • Familiar with Prompt Engineering, Function Calling, Tool Use, and related technologies
  • Experience in RAG system development, familiar with vector retrieval, text Embedding, re-ranking, and related techniques
  • Understanding of reinforcement learning fundamentals; experience with RLHF, DPO, and related methods is a plus

Research Capabilities

  • Ability to conduct independent technical research, responsible for the entire process from problem definition to solution implementation
  • Strong literature reading and summarization skills, able to quickly absorb cutting-edge research achievements
  • Capability in technology selection and evaluation, able to make reasonable decisions among multiple solutions

Soft Skills

  • Strong passion for AI technology, keeping up with the latest developments in the Agentic AI field
