What you can expect

We are looking for a curious and capable AI Research Intern to join our team. This role focuses on research, rapid prototyping, and learning. You will explore new ideas in generative AI, experiment with emerging tools, and build demos that help the team understand what is possible. You will also have the freedom to work with the latest LLMs and agent frameworks without production engineering constraints, and share your findings with the team.

About the team

You will join a team that works on generative AI features within Zoom Docs. The group values curiosity, clear communication, and collaboration. You will work closely with engineers and product partners and will contribute insights that help guide technical discussions.

Responsibilities

• Building standalone, proof-of-concept demos using Python (Streamlit, Gradio, etc.) to visualize innovative ideas and test technical feasibility.

• Sharing your knowledge. This is a core part of your role. You will digest complex technical concepts and present them to the wider engineering and product teams through internal tech talks, white papers, and demo sessions.

• Designing experiments to compare model performance, latency, and output quality to guide our decision-making.

What we’re looking for

• Have a BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, or a related field.

• Have proficiency in Python/JavaScript for prototyping, scripting, or data handling.

• Have experience with GenAI frameworks (e.g., LangChain, OpenAI API, Hugging Face, LlamaIndex).

• Have the ability to quickly read and synthesize technical papers.

• Possess great communication skills, interest in teaching others and can explain complex technical topics clearly.

• Have experience building web based demos using Streamlit, Gradio, or Vercel.
