## Job description

Pangram Labs is hiring talented AI Research Interns for Spring or Summer 2027.

Research interns conduct research relating to frontier AI detection research or related topics, with the goal of publishing a paper in a major conference venue. Examples of past internship projects at Pangram include EditLens (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2510.03154) and Scaling Laws for Wild AI Text (https://arxiv.org/abs/2609.40295).

## What You’ll Work On

Interns are assigned a mentor, and choose a research topic or area prior to the internship. Current active research areas within Pangram include:

- Adversarial Robustness: how do detectors perform against humanizers and adversarial paraphrasing?
- Interpretability: can we build more explainable, interpretable AI detection?
- Mixed Human/AI Authorship: how can we quantify the different facets of human-AI coauthorship?
- New Architectures: how can we optimize Pangram’s architecture for efficiency or even higher levels of accuracy?
- Multimodal Detection: how can we improve AI detection for images, video, and audio?
- Effects of AI-Generated Data on LLM Training: what is the effect of AI-generated data on foundation model training?
- Agentic AI detection: how can we harness the power of agents to give Pangram more context about authorship?
- Topics of your choice: propose an original topic relevant to AI detection

## Requirements

- Currently pursuing an M.S. or Ph.D. in Computer Science/Artificial Intelligence. Exceptional undergraduates entering their senior year are welcome to apply.
- Prior research experience that has resulted in a published paper in a top AI venue.
- Fluency in deep learning fundamentals and experience training neural networks.
- Excellent programming skills in Python and a deep learning framework like Pytorch.
- Experience working with an AI agent for research like Claude Code or Codex.

## Compensation

- $8,000-$11,000 per month
- Relocation stipend available
- In-office lunch
- Top interns may receive return offers for full-time roles

## About Pangram Labs

## Company Overview

- **Founders**: Max Spero (CEO) and Bradley Emi (CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: AI Detection, Content Authenticity, Cybersecurity
- **Target customers**: B2B – universities, schools, publishers, law firms, HR departments, foundations, and enterprise organizations
- **Mission or purpose statement**: "To mitigate new issues caused by the proliferation of powerful generative AI models" and "rebuild trust amidst the increase in generative AI content" [pangram.com](https://www.pangram.com/)

## Products & Services
- **Pangram AI Detector**: A SaaS platform that detects AI-generated text from all major LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama, DeepSeek, etc.) with 99.98% accuracy and a false positive rate of 1 in 10,000. Supports 20+ languages.
- **Plagiarism Checker**: Integrated plagiarism detection in a single tool alongside AI detection.
- **AI Segment Analysis**: Highlights sections of text that were AI-generated versus AI-assisted (edited by AI).
- **API**: Programmatic access for high-volume enterprise and developer use cases.
- **LMS Integrations**: Works with Canvas, Moodle, Google Classroom, Brightspace, and other learning management systems.
- **Chrome Extension & Google Docs Integration**: Browser-based detection for web content and documents.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding of $3.95M
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: ScOp Venture Capital (lead, Seed round), Haystack (lead, Pre-Seed round) [linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/company/pangramlabs)
- **Growth Signals**:
  - Headcount grew 162.5% year-over-year (from 5 to 14 employees)
  - Monthly employee growth of 10.5%
  - Independently verified by researchers at University of Chicago and University of Maryland
  - Detects outputs from unreleased AI models and humanized/AI-assisted text
  - Active job postings increased 16.7% quarterly (7 open roles)

## Competitive Advantages
- **Proprietary technology**: Uses its own deep learning models trained on diverse datasets, not open-source or commercial LLMs — giving it a unique detection methodology.
- **Lowest false positive rate**: 1 in 10,000 (0.01%), independently verified by third-party researchers, significantly outperforming competitors.
- **Detects humanized text**: Can identify AI content even after it has been processed by evasion tools.
- **Founding team pedigree**: Founders are AI researchers from Tesla Autopilot, Google, Nuro, and Absci, with graduate degrees from Stanford.
- **Peer-reviewed research**: Active contributions to the AI detection research community.

## Strategic Focus
- **Expand enterprise and education market**: Targeting universities, publishers, law firms, and HR departments.
- **Continuous model improvement**: Regularly releasing new detection model versions (e.g., Pangram 3.3.2) to keep pace with evolving LLMs.
- **Multilingual capabilities**: Expanding detection to 20+ languages for global adoption.
- **Product differentiation**: Moving beyond simple binary detection to nuanced analysis (AI generation vs. AI assistance vs. human writing).

## Why Work Here
- **Founding team from top AI labs**: Work alongside former Tesla Autopilot, Google, Nuro, and Absci researchers — a steep learning environment.
- **Mission-driven**: Directly tackling one of the most pressing problems of the generative AI era — content authenticity and trust.
- **Fast-growing startup**: 162.5% headcount growth in the last year, with 7 active job openings across engineering, ML, research, and operations.
- **Research culture**: Active publication and peer-reviewed research; engineers and researchers contribute to the broader AI community.
- **Office location**: Based in Brooklyn, New York (likely hybrid/office-first culture given startup stage).
- **Open roles include**: Senior Software Engineer (Backend), Machine Learning Engineer, AI Research Scientist, Full-Stack Engineer, and Executive Assistant — indicating a broad, growing team.
