Job Description

This is a remote-only role and will not require relocation. We welcome applicants from anywhere in the US.

Splunk is looking for PhD students to join our team for Fall 2024! As an Applied Scientist intern, you will work on a real project (or a few) and have an opportunity to enjoy our dynamic, startup-like environment. You will engage in cutting-edge projects primarily centered on Generative AI, AI assistants, and scalable time series analysis, including anomaly detection and predictive analysis.

You will experience Splunking and what defines our culture while honing the skills which separate our development teams from others. Working to support internal and external customer needs, you will collaborate with multi-functional teams, receive mentorship, and gain insight into our values-driven process. Our goal is both to support your growth and development while empowering you for a successful start to your career.

What you’ll get to do

• Achieve data science and software engineering goals set by you, your manager, and your mentor
• Drive deliverables on topics such as Generative AI, AI assistants, and scalable time series analysis
• Learn about Splunk, both the product and the company
• Work and socialize with other interns and full-time Splunkers

Must-have Qualifications

• Actively pursuing a PhD in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics or a related technical field, and a strong record of academic achievement.
• At least one semester/quarter remaining to complete after the internship
• Available to work 40 hours a week for 15 weeks

Nice-to-have Qualifications

We’ve taken special care to separate the must-have qualifications from the nice-to-haves. “Nice-to-have” means just that: Nice. To. Have. So, don’t worry if you can’t check off every box. We’re not hiring a list of bullet points–we’re interested in the whole you.

• Coursework and research experience in machine learning, either Generative AI technology and Large Language Models (LLM)
• Coursework and research experience with time series analysis (univariate and multivariate) with a focus on anomaly detection.
• Experience with ML frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) and Python.
• Ability to work well with others in a fast-paced environment.
• Experience working in an agile environment.
• Strong communication skills, verbal and written.
• Enthusiasm for solving interesting problems.
• Experience programming in a large software project – at school, professionally, or in an open source context.
