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.

About Meta:
Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. People who choose to build their careers by building with us at Meta help shape a future that will take us beyond what digital connection makes possible today-beyond the constraints of screens, the limits of distance, and even the rules of physics.
