Research Scientist Intern, RL and Agents Team

Meta was built to help people connect and share, and over the last decade our tools have played a critical part in changing how people around the world communicate with one another. With over a billion people using the service and more than fifty offices around the globe, a career at Meta offers countless ways to make an impact in a fast growing organization. Meta is seeking Research Interns to join our Meta Superintelligence Lab in one of the post-training modeling team, with a focus on Agentic AI and Products. We are committed to advancing the field of artificial intelligence by making fundamental advances in technologies that help interact with and understand our world. We are seeking individuals passionate about agentic AI, including but not limited to LLM agentic tool use, personalized AI agents, LLM agentic post-training, LLM reasoning/coding, and related areas. Our interns have an opportunity to make core algorithmic advances, prototype agentic features for Meta products, and apply their ideas at an unprecedented scale. Our internships are twelve (12) to sixteen (16), or twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year. It could be extended to a PhD CIFRE.

About Meta
Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. People who choose to build their careers by building with us at Meta help shape a future that will take us beyond what digital connection makes possible today-beyond the constraints of screens, the limits of distance, and even the rules of physics.
