About this role

Exa is building a search engine from scratch to serve every AI application. We build massive-scale infrastructure to crawl the web, train state-of-the-art embedding models to index it, and develop super high performant vector databases in Rust to search over it. We also own a $5M H200 GPU cluster that regularly lights up tens of thousands of machines.

As an engineering intern, you'd play a critical role in lots of our projects. We're pretty flexible on what projects people work on based on their skills and interests.

Desired Experience

  • Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field AND are willing to take off a semester to work full time in SF. Remote and part-time interns are not accepted.
  • You have experience with some high performance language (C++, Rust, etc.)
  • You often code technically difficult or interesting projects for fun
  • You care about the problem of finding high quality information and recognize how important this is for the world

Example Projects

  • Recreate Google-level keyword search over 10 billion pages in 1 month
  • Build a state-of-the-art crawling system that works optimally for any website
  • Build a custom vector database that runs over a billion vectors in under 100ms
