Research Science Intern (PhD)

Required

• Currently enrolled in a PhD program at Carnegie Mellon in machine learning, computer science, statistics, or a related field
• Depth in at least one area relevant to the research above
• Comfort running real experiments — training models, working with GPUs, reading and reimplementing recent papers
• Evidence you can do research: conference or workshop papers, preprints, open-source contributions, or a lab project you can discuss in depth
• Research taste. You can explain why a problem matters and what would change if it were solved.
• Honest empiricism. You report the ablation that didn't work.
• Support from your faculty advisor.
• A long publication record. How you think matters more than how much you've published.
• Observability, monitoring, or SRE background.
• A perfect match to the areas above.
• Datadog values people from all walks of life. We know not everyone will meet all the above qualifications on day one. That’s okay. If you’re passionate about technology and want to grow your experience, we encourage you to apply.
• This job is available in various departments within our company; to conform to US export control regulations, some of these roles may require candidates to be eligible for any required authorizations from the US government.
