AI Benchmark & Datasets Engineer/ Researcher Internship

Pathway builds the first post-transformer frontier model that solves AI's fundamental memory problem. Their architecture enables true continuous learning, infinite context reasoning, and real-time adaptation. The company is led by AI pioneers including CTO Jan Chorowski and CSO Adrian Kosowski, and is headquartered in Palo Alto, California. Pathway is trusted by organizations such as NATO, La Poste, and Formula 1 racing teams.

• Meet at least one of the following: ICPC World Finalist, IOI/IMO/IOAI/IPhO medalist in High School, published research paper at A-rated or A*-rated venue, completed coding projects with GitHub repository, interned at leading Machine Learning research center, or have a warm recommendation from university faculty.
• Experience with ML/LLM evaluation, data science, or technical product roles, ideally around benchmarks or experimentation.
• Comfortable reading papers, leaderboards, and GitHub repos and turning them into clear, repeatable benchmark specs.
• Able to communicate effectively with engineers and customers, translating technical detail and business value.
• Care about high-quality data, reproducible experiments, and crisp documentation.

• Run benchmarks with baseline models to validate setup, uncover edge cases, and de-risk R&D runs.
• Hand off "benchmark-ready" packages to R&D including specs, data, evaluation scripts, expected metrics, and constraints.
• Maintain shared vocabulary and documentation around benchmarks, datasets, and evaluation formats usable by GTM and R&D.
• Track and organize benchmark results, model leaderboards, and "what good looks like" for different customers and scenarios.
• Contribute to demos and public-facing proof points based on benchmark outcomes.

Permanent residence will be required in the EU, UK, US, or Canada.
