Meta was built to help people connect and share, and over the last decade our tools have played a critical part in changing how people around the world communicate with one another. With over a billion people using the service and more than fifty offices around the globe, a career at Meta offers countless ways to make an impact in a fast growing organization.The Wearables AI team at Meta works to advance the field of artificial intelligence by making fundamental advances in technologies to help Humans interact with and understand our world. We conduct product-motivated research in ML/AI, develop state-of-the-art algorithms and deploy models to the RayBan | Meta family of smart glasses. We work on most aspects of AI, in on-device and server-side settings. As a Research Scientist Intern, you will help us develop innovative models and algorithms, with a goal of publishing and deploying the outcomes.We are seeking individuals passionate in areas such as deep learning, computer vision and multi-media, audio and speech processing, natural language processing, personalization and recommendations, machine learning, reinforcement learning, computational statistics, and applied mathematics. Our interns have an opportunity to make core algorithmic advances and apply their ideas at an unprecedented scale.Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.
