01 — The role
Why this role exists at EduRankAI
EduRankAI is a frontier AI research lab building reasoning systems and foundational models from the ground up — not fine-tuning what already exists, but training new architectures that learn the way the most curious humans do. We are hiring researchers, research engineers, and research scientists who want to work on real problems in reasoning, alignment, evaluation, and learning dynamics. This is research-led work — publications, internal papers, and reproducible experiments are part of the job. Selection here is genuinely competitive. The application fee reflects that — every shortlisted candidate gets a personal review by the research team. About this role: AI Research Intern — up to ₹3 LPA + research stipend. Internship, 8 hours per day. Part-time options are available — see the Career page for details. For any queries, reach out to us at hr@edurankai.in.

The EduRankAI environment
Remote-first, async-first
Work from anywhere. We optimise for deep work, not face time. Periodic in-person off-sites for the full-time team.
High autonomy, high standards
We hire adults and trust them. You will be expected to set your own goals, communicate clearly, and ship.
Builders, not bureaucrats
We optimise for clarity over process. Make the call, ship the work, write up what you learned.
Bharat-built, globally ambitious
We are an Indian frontier AI lab. We build for India first and the world second — in that order.
