Job Summary
About us
Quadrillion is a startup building Qualia an agentic research platform (think Jupyter or VS Code but with AI agents that do the actual research). Our users are ML researchers quants and data scientists who use Qualia to run an entire research project from a single prompt.
Were a 12-person team in NYC backed by $18.3M from Conviction Audacious Bloomberg Beta ex/ante and Wes McKinney (creator of pandas). We have one of the strongest NYC AI teams with backgrounds from HRT Google Research Citadel and Jane Street.
The role
Your role will be the same as any Quadrillion full-time engineers: shipping real product changes fixing customer bugs and building new features.
Were hiring interns for a couple of our groups:
Agent Engineering builds the core infrastructure that our agents run on: orchestrating agent loops building the sandboxed environments where agents run experiments against real data designing the APIs and tooling researchers touch and scaling the infrastructure that keeps it fast and reliable.
Product builds an incredibly strong UI for agents to run in and for humans to interact with both as a Mac/Windows app and on the cloud.
What youll do
Build effective systems for agent orchestration. Youll engineer the core system that drives Qualia improving its ability to reason over long horizons run parallel experiments and manage its knowledge.
Scale environments for agent experiments and training. Help us build the sandboxed compute where agents run complex high-performance experiments and scale it to tens of thousands of concurrent deployments.
Expand what agents can do and where they run. Build and deploy the tools and integrations that connect Qualia to customers data sources and external systems.
Required qualifications
Strong full-stack or backend engineering experience especially with Python
Comfort working in unfamiliar codebases
Ability to move quickly in a zero-to-one environment
Who were hiring
Were hiring a strong intern with significant engineering chops in either Python or React. We prefer sophomores and juniors but are open to frosh. You must be a current undergraduate at a US or Canadian university.
About this role
We work in-person 5 days a week out of our office in Midtown Manhattan. We cover generous benefits for employees including medical dental and vision insurance lunch and dinner covered and other varied stipends.
We pride ourselves on a company culture that values a diversity of thoughts and opinions.

Weve raised $18M from Conviction Audacious Bloomberg Beta ex/ante and angels including Wes McKinney the creator of pandas. Were 10 people in NYC scaling to 15 in the coming months.
We think this is the Industrial Revolution moment for research and were building the team to define what comes next.
