Quadrillion is hiring a fall intern.

We build 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; our platform lets you finish an entire research project from a single prompt. We're a 12-person team in NYC, backed by $18.3M from Conviction, Audacious, Bloomberg Beta, ex/ante, and Wes McKinney (creator of pandas).

Our team is exceptional, with backgrounds spanning HRT, Google Research, DeepMind, Scale, and Stanford. You'd be working directly alongside them. Your role will be the same as any full-time engineer: shipping real product changes, fixing customer bugs, and building cool new features.

We're 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 Canada university.

We’re full-time, in-person in NYC. We pay well (cash and equity) and cover lunch/dinner, health insurance, and generous PTO for full-time employees.

Why we want you to join us

We’ve moved fast with a tight-knit, hardworking team. We work on making our system better by the hour. In just a couple weeks, we built a functioning Jupyter replacement that we use every day.

Building a Product To Take On Jupyter And Make It 10x Better Is Already Incredibly Hard. Making a Product That Unblocks The Path To Unsolved Problems Is Even More So. Here’s a Taste Of The Problems We Tackle Every Day

Building a next-gen Jupyter-compatible notebook optimized for LLMs.
Designing kernels that permit distributed experiment orchestration, both local and cloud-based.
Training models that can actually do experimentation—collecting data, building benchmarks, and standing up infrastructure for large-scale RL rollouts.
Building evals to understand what makes an agent reason like a scientist, not just answer like a student.
Developing new ways for humans and agents to coordinate inside real research workflows.

If you want to help us reinvent the modern research workflow from the ground up, and you’re drawn by the call of unsolved problems – come work with us at Quadrillion.

About Us

We’re a team of ex-quants, founding engineers, and PhDs. Everyone on the team is our own customer: most of us are researchers (2k+ collective cites) and we’ve all spent many late nights writing horrible boilerplate code and cursing out Jupyter notebooks. We’re incredibly determined and relentless, and we expect to take over the market at short notice.

We have an amazing team of advisors and investors. Our investors include Audacious (lead), Conviction (lead), Bloomberg Beta, and ex/ante. We’re backed by https://www.linkedin.com/in/adrien-treuille-52215718 , https://www.linkedin.com/in/barrymccardel , https://www.linkedin.com/in/marshcharles , and https://www.linkedin.com/in/tristanhandy , as well as leaders like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wes_McKinney (creator of Pandas), https://www.linkedin.com/in/aparnacd (creator of Google Lens) and https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlessonghurst , among many other folks we greatly respect.
