In India, our smartphone-based digital work platform has enabled over 120,000 people to build language datasets and evaluate AI models while earning fair wages. With pilots in Kenya and Ethiopia and partnerships with leading AI labs, we are advancing language technologies for underrepresented communities. By combining dignified digital work with frontier AI innovation, Karya hopes to build a new AI economy that is equitable, inclusive, and community driven.\nAbout the Role:\nKarya's AI Evaluations team measures how well AI models serve people in the languages and contexts global benchmarks miss. We work with partners including Anthropic and Microsoft Research, alongside government and civil society, running evaluations on our own platform with native speakers and domain experts across India and beyond. Our benchmarks, leaderboards and reports aim to help model developers and decision-makers understand where models work well and where they fall short.\nAs a Research Engineering Intern, you will work alongside research engineers to build and run these evaluations, from setting up annotation tasks and running model inference to analysing results. You will own real parts of the pipeline end to end, including keeping them running when things break.\nWhat You'll Do \nEvaluation setup: prepare datasets, run model inference through APIs and self-hosted setups, and configure, batch and launch annotation tasks on the Karya platform.\nPipeline operations: monitor live evaluations, triage and reproduce annotation app issues, coordinate fixes with platform and operations teams, and document recurring problems.\nQuality control: run automated checks on annotation data and flag anomalies before they affect results.\nAnalysis and experiments: compute agreement, scores and breakdowns; support focused studies such as validating automated judges against human ratings; and contribute to technical reports and public releases.\n Infrastructure: build and maintain tested, documented tooling for data processing, QC and analysis, with logged configs for reproducibility.\nWhat You Bring\nMust-Have:\nCurrently pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Machine Learning, NLP or a related field.\nStrong Python and comfort working with data (pandas or similar).\nWorking knowledge of LLMs and modern ML, and familiarity with calling models via APIs.\nSolid foundation in probability and statistics.\nMethodical debugging skills, and willingness to dig into unfamiliar systems when something breaks.\nStrong differentiators\nExperience with ML projects involving evaluation, annotation or human feedback data.\nExposure to speech or multilingual NLP, especially Indian languages.\nExperience with GPU inference, cloud tooling or Android/app debugging.\nMindset\nTakes ownership of work end to end, knowing that reliable operations are what make evaluations trustworthy.\nThrives in interdisciplinary teams spanning engineering, research, social science, operations and domain experts.\nComfortable with ambiguity, messy data and shifting priorities.\nCares about building AI that works for the people it is meant to serve.\nKarya celebrates diversity and is an equal opportunity employer. All applicants will be considered without regard to race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected status.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3502,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["AI Training Data & Annotation"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-02T14:09:02Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":163,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-11-04T06:34:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/karya-research-engineering-intern-ai-evaluations","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/karya-research-engineering-intern-ai-evaluations.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T11:07:18Z","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":16495,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"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":63591},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=63591"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fkarya-research-engineering-intern-ai-evaluations"},{"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%2Fkarya-research-engineering-intern-ai-evaluations"},{"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%2Fkarya-research-engineering-intern-ai-evaluations"},{"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/karya-research-engineering-intern-ai-evaluations\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fkarya-research-engineering-intern-ai-evaluations"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3610772}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"karya.in","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3610772},"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); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
