Our mission: get the most value out of every unit of computing power, at a scale few places in the world can offer, and let AI increasingly help run the infrastructure.\nWe are looking for talented individuals to join us for an internship. PhD internships at Our Company provide students with the opportunity to actively contribute to our products and research, as well as to the organization's future plans and emerging technologies.\nOur dynamic internship experience blends hands-on learning, enriching community-building and professional development events, and collaboration with industry experts.\nApplications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, so we encourage you to apply early. Please clearly state your availability in your resume (Start date, End date).\nWhat You Might Work On\nOne focused, real project within our scope - for example:\n- Help make our intelligent, AI-driven scheduler smarter at placing and balancing workloads.\n- Explore new ways to get more useful work out of the same hardware - smarter use of compute, memory, or power.\n- Build tools that help a global platform run reliably and increasingly manage itself, including AI-agent-assisted automation.\nWhy This Role Matters\nThe AI era runs on compute - and using it efficiently is one of the defining challenges for our company and the whole industry. Our team owns that challenge at ByteDance's global scale, making the infrastructure behind TikTok and our AI/LLM products faster, smarter, and far more efficient. As an intern, you'll get a real project at the center of it.\n任职要求 / Requirements\nMinimum Qualifications\n- Currently pursuing a PhD in Computer Science or a related discipline. \n- Able to commit to a 12-week internship during Summer 2027.\n- Experience coding in Go, C++, Python, Java, or C#.\nPreferred Qualifications\n- Intent to return to your degree program after the internship.\n- Strong fundamentals in systems, distributed computing, or software engineering - shown through internships, work, research, competitions, or projects.\n- Curiosity about large-scale or AI/ML infrastructure; exposure to Linux, containers, or Kubernetes is a plus but not required.\n- High creativity and quick problem-solving.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2566,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Advertising","Recommendation Systems","Digital Media","Video & Photo Sharing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T16:14:41Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 747 · green card filings: 451","filings_12m":747,"filings_prev_12m":1302,"green_card_filings_12m":451,"median_offered_wage_usd":210559,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":72,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":0.8,"age_days":97,"expected_fill_days":291,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:early","crowd:junior,brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-06T05:58:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/bytedance-research-intern-ai-compute-efficiency-scheduling-2027-start-phd-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/bytedance-research-intern-ai-compute-efficiency-scheduling-2027-start-phd-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-06T16:33:26Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":30737,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":13},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=13"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbytedance-research-intern-ai-compute-efficiency-scheduling-2027-start-phd-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbytedance-research-intern-ai-compute-efficiency-scheduling-2027-start-phd-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbytedance-research-intern-ai-compute-efficiency-scheduling-2027-start-phd-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/bytedance-research-intern-ai-compute-efficiency-scheduling-2027-start-phd-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbytedance-research-intern-ai-compute-efficiency-scheduling-2027-start-phd-2"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":1236023}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"bytedance.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":1236023},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
