Machine Learning Engineer Summer Internship

Program Overview:
The AMP Summer Internship Program offers college students the opportunity to work on meaningful, high-impact projects that directly support our Native Search Marketplace and go-to-market strategy.
Interns collaborate with experienced team members, gain exposure to how a fast-growing ad tech company operates, and develop practical, in-demand skills. The program is designed to help you grow professionally while making a real contribution to the business.
By the end of the summer, you'll have a deeper understanding of how AMP creates value through innovation in search advertising - and how your work helps drive that impact.
About the Role
As a Machine Learning Engineer Intern at adMarketplace, you will help design and build real production-grade ML systems that directly power our core revenue and advertiser success engines. This is a hands-on, end-to-end role where you will move beyond theoretical models to solve real business problems using data, experimentation, and scalable ML pipelines.
You'll work closely with Data Engineering to improve predictive models (including pCTR), production pipelines, and internal analytics tools - while learning how machine learning operates inside a live advertising platform.
What You'll Do

• Perform exploratory data analysis (EDA) on large-scale user and behavioral signals to uncover insights that improve ML model performance.
• Research, prototype, and evaluate classification and regression model architectures to leverage granular and sparse data signals.
• Apply an experiment-driven development framework to test new features, signals, and model improvements.
• Build and iterate on ML models that outperform existing systems using real production data.
• Design and maintain data pipelines and feature workflows in partnership with Data Engineering.
• Identify data integrity issues, trace root causes, and collaborate with engineering teams to resolve them.
• Translate business goals and product constraints into ML solutions that work in production-not just in notebooks.
• Build and ship production-grade ML pipelines, models, and code that integrate with AMP's systems.
• Partner cross-functionally with BI, Engineering, and Product to create dashboards, monitoring tools, and model feedback loops.
• Present model performance, tradeoffs, and business impact to leadership using clear, data-driven storytelling.

What You'll Learn

• How ML models move from research → experimentation → production → monitoring
• How predictive models drive revenue, supply optimization, and advertiser success
• How to bridge the gap between theory and real-world systems at scale

Qualifications
Required

• Currently pursuing a Masters in Computer Science or a related field
• Strong Python skills
• Experience building classification or regression models
• Solid understanding of machine learning fundamentals

Nice to Have

• Experience writing data pipelines
• Exposure to MLOps concepts (model versioning, monitoring, deployment)
• Familiarity with Git/GitHub, Bitbucket, or similar version control tools
• Experience using GenAI tools (e.g., Copilot, ChatGPT) to accelerate development
• SQL, Spark, Databricks, or large-scale data processing experience
