Datadog AI Research — Scholars Program with Carnegie Mellon University Datadog AI Research (DAIR) is partnering with Carnegie Mellon University to support a small number of PhD students working on open research problems grounded by ongoing efforts at Datadog/DAIR. You will frame a problem, run your own experiments, and write up what you find, with compute and data at a scale most academic labs cannot provide. You will collaborate with colleagues working on the same questions. The Lab And The Research: DAIR is an industrial research lab motivated by practical challenges in observability and software operation: detecting and diagnosing failures, understanding complex production environments, and helping engineers operate software more effectively. The lab focuses on creating specialized foundation models, post-training and evaluating AI agents, and building frontier-scale machine learning systems. By combining fundamental research with Datadog's large-scale, real-world data and infrastructure, the lab develops new AI capabilities and translates them into practical systems with meaningful impact. Internship projects are shaped with your DAIR mentor and your CMU faculty advisor. You do not need prior experience with observability, monitoring, or infrastructure. What You'll Do: Own a research project end to end: framing the question, running the experiments, writing it up Work directly with a DAIR mentor engaged in the same problem, and stay connected to your advisor and lab Publish, and use the work toward your dissertation See research reach production, when it works Who You Are: 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, preprin
About Us: AI needs a new infrastructure layer. We're building it at Modal. Every era of computing brought new workloads that previous infrastructure couldn't support: mainframes, databases, and the cloud. Each time, the company that rebuilt the layer underneath defined the decade. AI is no different, except it touches everything instead of one slice, and the window to build the layer underneath it is open right now. Our customers include category-defining companies like Lovable , Ramp , Cognition, DoorDash, and Suno. They rely on Modal for instant GPU access, sub-second container starts, and native storage, so it's simple to serve low-latency inference, fine-tune models, and access production-ready sandboxes at scale. We recently raised a $355M Series C at a $4.65B valuation, led by General Catalyst and Redpoint Ventures. We've crossed $300M+ ARR and grown fivefold since September. Our team includes creators of popular open-source projects (e.g., Seaborn , Luig i ), academic researchers, international olympiad medalists, and experienced engineering and product leaders with decades of experience. The Role: We are looking for PhD research interns with strong research experience in reinforcement learning, machine learning, and foundation models, including large language and multimodal models, to join our research team. This internship is well suited to candidates interested in improving existing methods and developing new techniques for large-scale model training, optimization, and inference, extending models to long-context and long-horizon tasks, and improving inference-time efficiency, reliability, and robustness in high-stakes real-world deployments. Preferred Qualifications: Currently pursuing a PhD in computer science, machine learning, or a related field. A demonstrated record of research in reinforcement learning, machine learning, foundation models, or related areas. Experience developing and evaluating large-scale models or machine learning systems. Familiari
We are seeking a mission-driven Developer Relations Manager focused on Foundational AI Research to engage leading academic labs advancing the next generation of AI models, systems, and methods. In this role, you will work directly with top researchers building frontier AI systems, including large language models, multimodal models, reasoning systems, training methods, inference systems, model serving, and scalable AI infrastructure. You will help researchers adopt NVIDIA’s AI and accelerated computing platforms to push the boundaries of model performance, efficiency, and scale. The ideal candidate brings deep technical credibility in foundational AI, strong research engagement experience, and hands-on expertise in either AI inference research or AI training research. What you'll be doing: Serve as a trusted technical advisor to leading academic AI labs working on foundation models, LLMs, multimodal AI, reasoning, training, inference, and AI systems. Identify high-impact research workloads where NVIDIA software, systems, and accelerated computing platforms can advance model performance, scale, and efficiency. Engage principal investigators, postdocs, graduate researchers, and lab leadership to understand research goals, technical blockers, infrastructure needs, and collaboration opportunities. Track frontier AI research across papers, benchmarks, open-source projects, and academic labs to identify emerging trends and future platform opportunities. Partner with Research Account Managers, Solution Architects, Product, Engineering, and Business Development teams to support researcher adoption and long-term engagement. Represent researcher needs internally by translating academic feedback into actionable insights for product roadmaps, developer programs, education, and platform strategy. Support NVIDIA participation in major AI, ML, and systems research venues through technical content,

Our customers include category-defining companies like Lovable , Ramp , Cognition, DoorDash, and Suno.

We recently raised a $355M Series C at a $4.65B valuation, led by General Catalyst and Redpoint Ventures. We've crossed $300M+ ARR and grown fivefold since September. Our team includes creators of popular open-source projects (e.g., Seaborn , Luig i ), academic researchers, international olympiad medalists, and experienced engineering and product leaders with decades of experience. The Role: Most of the value of owning a model shows up at serving time. We're building a platform that covers the whole life of an LLM -- train it, deploy it, observe it -- and inference is where teams feel the difference every day. We already run elastic inference, sandboxes, distributed volumes, and multi-node training, and we control the infrastructure underneath, so the serving stack is ours to shape rather than something we resell. You will do hands-on inference research at Modal, working with the research lead to pick high-impact bets and owning them end to end. The bets that matter most are the ones that move cost per token and tail latency on the workloads our customers actually run. What you'll do: Own end-to-end inference research bets: speculative decoding, disaggregated prefill/decode, quantization (FP8, INT4), KV-cache and memory management, autoscaling for spik
