INDUSTRY INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY

TWO SIGMA - Cloud Computing

Position Type: Internship
Location: NYC (housing included)

JOB SUMMARY

Two Sigma’s public cloud team leverages the public cloud to build leading-edge large-scale computing solutions. Below are projects that we are interested in initiating, that would be excellent for an intern to lead or assist us.

Containers, Auto-scaling and Heterogeneous Cross-Cloud Platform

Run an experiment with containers and auto-scaling to grow and shrink a compute cluster on AWS. Expand to run on other cloud offerings, with the ultimate challenge of running a container on a heterogeneous cloud mixing offerings from multiple vendors. Analyze and summarize the challenges and issues.

High Level Services / Platform

High-level services such as Mesos/Chronos, Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS), Simple Workflow Service (SWF), Lambda, Big Query, and Dynamo DB are tempting for their power, but so far they have presented undesirable security trade-offs. Investigate how they can be used for Two Sigma public cloud projects. Develop a project that demonstrates the use and benefit of one or more services, and how we can mitigate the concerns.

Pluggable Benchmark Framework for User Code in the Cloud

Design and develop a framework for benchmarking code running in the public cloud. The framework should be easy to use with tools for browsing and understanding. Measure an example of user code. Iterate on improvements to the framework.

REQUIREMENTS

Two Sigma’s standard internship program is for BS, MS or PhD students who are 1 year from graduation. But the specific roles we are now trying to fill are specifically for PDL students who may be at any point in their studies, and specifically for more research oriented roles at Two Sigma as described above.

HOW TO APPLY

Please send your resume to Roland Wunderlich <roland.wunderlich@twosigma.com>. More detailed logistics information will be provided as needed. Two Sigma’s internship program pays competitively and includes housing in NYC.

Roland is considering a visit to CMU to meet with potential candidates for these internships later in March. More information on that will follow.
