AI/ML Graduate Engineering Intern (summer 2026)

AI/ML Graduate Engineering Intern (Summer 2026)

At Sigma, we're not just adding AI—we're building the future of how people work with data. Our platform already lets users explore billions of rows of data in seconds with a spreadsheet-like interface, analyze and present their data in workbooks, and build data apps and workflows. Now we're pushing further, applying AI to reshape how people build in Sigma, discover insights, and make smarter decisions—fast.

That's where you come in. As an AI/ML Graduate Engineering Intern, you'll join a growing team focused on building the AI foundation that will power Sigma for the future. Your work will become an integral part of the workflow for the thousands of enterprises that run on Sigma. We're seeking current graduate degree students that are excited about bringing their knowledge and passion for AI/ML to our product and that are excited about launching their careers with our AI team.

• Contribute to the development of an AI/ML infrastructure that powers both internal tooling and customer-facing features.
• Tackle novel UX problems at the intersection of AI, BI, and apps.

• Knowledge of the full ML lifecycle: data curation, training, deployment, monitoring.
• Experience adapting or training foundation models (language or multimodal) for novel domains a plus.
• A track record of building—whether it's recommendations, search, machine translation, or something equally complex that demonstrates your domain knowledge.

Bonus Points (or skills you'll build here):

• You've built agents that can plan, reason, and use tools.
