Machine Learning Intern/co-op (fall, 2026)

Cohere Cohere · AI Frontier · Canada · Internships

Cohere is seeking a Machine Learning Intern to design, train, and improve cutting-edge models, develop new techniques for training and serving models, train large-scale models on massive datasets, and explore continual and active learning strategies. The role involves working closely with product teams and learning from experienced staff.

What you'd actually do

  1. Design, train and improve upon cutting-edge models.
  2. Help us develop new techniques to train and serve models safer, better, and faster.
  3. Train extremely large-scale models on massive datasets.
  4. Explore continual and active learning strategies for streaming data.
  5. Work closely with product teams to develop solutions.

Skills

Required

  • Proficiency in Python and related ML frameworks such as Tensorflow, TF-Serving, JAX, and XLA/MLIR.
  • Experience using large-scale distributed training strategies.
  • Familiarity with autoregressive sequence models, such as Transformers.
  • Strong communication and problem-solving skills.
  • A demonstrated passion for applied NLP models and products.

Nice to have

  • experience writing kernels for GPUs using CUDA.
  • experience training on TPUs.
  • papers at top-tier venues (such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, AIStats, MLSys, JMLR, AAAI, Nature, COLING, ACL, EMNLP).
