We're building the gateway to the internet for AI agents. Our APIs already power hundreds of customers — and we went from 0 to $7M ARR in our first 12 months. Now we need someone who can push the boundaries of what our ML systems can do.
We're hiring an ML Engineer Intern to work directly with our founding team on the research and engineering behind our core intelligence layer. Our platform indexes hundreds of millions of professional profiles and company records from across the web. Making that data searchable, matchable, and enriched is an ML problem at its core.
This is a 12-week summer internship (June–August 2026). You will not be fetching coffee or watching from the sidelines. You will be researching, training, and shipping models — from paper to prototype to production. Previous interns' work has shipped to customers within weeks.
You'll own real ML problems that turn messy, multilingual, web-scale data into structured intelligence. Some example problems:
Crustdata provides live company and people data via APIs and full dataset delivery. We make hard to get data easy to use at scale.
Customers use us to build their AI agent platforms and applications over our trusted data. We power builders of: -AI SDRs -AI sales platofmrs -AI recruiting platforms -AI investment/due diligence platforms -Internal sales or marketing platforms
We serve use cases like: automatic pipeline building, pipeline prioritization, champion watching, company and people triggers for sales and marketing automation, investment deal sourcing
We have developed technology that allows us to pipe in live data from over a dozen different data sources and deliver this data instantly to our customers.
Our goal is index all the important data on the web and deliver it to customers in an easy-to-use way.

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
