At Charles River Analytics, our interns work on real projects and cutting-edge technology. We believe strongly in promoting within, which is demonstrated by the fact that we not only have hired former interns, but that several of our Senior Scientists and one of our division Vice Presidents began their careers at Charles River as interns!

This summer, we are looking for enthusiastic Software Developer Interns for our Decision Management division. We are seeking students with an interest in learning about and a successful academic background in the following areas: software engineering, computer science, cognitive engineering, artificial intelligence, or applied mathematics.

You will use a variety of technologies such as machine learning, probabilistic modeling, cybersecurity, data analytics, knowledge representation, natural language processing, computational social science, and search and optimization. During your time at Chares River, you will work in small project-oriented groups of scientists and software engineers to build working prototypes of intelligent decision-support tools. An example of a Decision Management intern project is using probabilistic and deep learning models to predict cyber terror attacks. One of our interns was responsible for building a component that parsed news data for sociopolitical events related to cyber terror attacks for the project.

Requirements:

• U.S. citizenship
• Proven proficiency in Java and a solid background in designing, programming, and documenting complex software systems
• Demonstrated ability to rapidly learn new programming languages (Java, Perl, Prolog, Scala, C/C++), technologies, and programming tools
• Demonstrated ability to rapidly learn new scripting languages (JavaScript, Ruby, Python)
• Candidates should have demonstrated capability to work independently as well as effectively within a team environment

Additional Skills:

• Algorithms (artificial intelligence, optimization, machine learning)
• Natural language processing
• Probabilistic modeling and reasoning (e.g., Bayesian networks)
• Cyber security
• Data analytics

Benefits:

Charles River Analytics offers an attractive benefits package that includes, but is not limited to the following:

• Casual work environment
• Free snacks and beverages
• Eligible for medical plan enrollment or opt-out incentive
