About The Position

Machine Learning & Natural Language Processing (Data Science) Engineer Intern Location – hybrid: Palo Alto, CA The successful candidate will work with world-class data scientists and ML engineers on expanding the AI capabilities of Intapp products. If you have a passion for machine learning, experience with natural language processing and a demonstrated history of delivering results, then we are very interested in talking to you. What you’ll do: The main objective of the ML/NLP Internship at Intapp is to use different learning paradigms and architectures to build predictive models for different type of problems, including text categorization, natural language understanding and generation, data clustering and time series analysis, among others. The work will be applied to one (or more, if permitted by time) of the following problems of interest: Prediction of type of work component (phase, task and activity) from time entries and narratives Identification and discovery of categories (topic modeling) from unlabeled text data collections Prediction of narrative templates (and full generation of narratives) from timecard history of matters Document segmentation and categorization of different types of contracts Enrichment of current data representations by generating new features and rich metadata Automatic collection and generation of ML/NLP resources for the Professional Services industry Prediction of system failures from cloud component activity logs The scope of the work includes defining a research question and work plan, setting up the experimental environment, preprocessing and preparing the data, training different variants of predictive algorithms, conducting prompt engineering and/or LLM post-training, use evaluation metrics to assess the performance of the models, and prepare a final report. What you’ll get: Contribute to the research, design and construction of cutting-edge ML/NLP systems, applying emerging AI technologies to specific problems in the Professional Services industry. Conduct project activities related to exploratory analysis and experimentation. Document, report and analyze results. Propose new ideas and related experimental work based on result analysis. Work closely with our team of data scientists and ML engineers, attend technical meetings and contribute to the discussions. The experience of being part of a growing public enterprise software company What you’ll need: Our Summer 2025 Internship Program begins June 1st, 2026, and is projected to end August 7th, 2026. Your professional growth and development will be supported throughout the internship program via project work related to your academic and professional interests, mentorship, and engaging events with other interns and company leadership. Our internship is hybrid, and interns will be expected in the office at least 3 days a week to get the full experience of the Intapp culture and networking opportunities.
