<h2>Hi, we’re Back Market.</h2>We’re here to help make tech reliable, affordable, and better than new. We're a global marketplace for refurbished devices, helping lower our collective environmental impact by providing trustworthy, affordable tech with 92% less carbon emissions than new.Yep, you read that right. Turns out refurbished tech is way better for the planet than new. In fact, With every device purchased on Back Market, our positive impact on the planet grows. From our Customer Care representatives to our software engineer, every individual at Back Market cuts the planet — and consumers — a break. Our mission is simple: to do more with what we already have.Are you ready to join us?Join Back Market's AI in Care Team as we accelerate AI adoption across the company and turn conversations into action. Our team builds Back Market's ML and AI applications in the Customer Care domain. We've presented our LLM research at several applied AI conferences, showcasing for instance how we blend large language models with traditional ML techniques. This innovative approach gives us deeper insights into customer interactions, which translates into a meaningfully improved platform experience for our users.As a Data Science AI Intern, you will focus on understanding and evaluating Large Language Models (LLMs) in one of two key settings, depending on business priorities and your interests. You will build and run evaluation frameworks, compare models, uncover blind spots and failure modes, and partner with engineers and product teams to translate findings into improvements. The first setting involves LLMs used as feature extractors in internal tools, where we combine LLM-derived signals with machine learning models to produce actionable KPIs and predictions. The second setting focuses on LLM-based chatbots, an area we're actively exploring, where you'll develop rigorous evaluation and red teaming approaches to ensure reliability, safety, and the best consumer experience.This internship is central to our AI strategy, highly visible, and offers a rare opportunity to have transformative impact. You will contribute to production systems used across the business while learning fast in a hands-on environment.<h2>YOUR MISSION (IF YOU ACCEPT IT): 🥇</h2><ul style=""><li>Develop and implement comprehensive LLM evaluation frameworks to assess performance and reliability across two key applications:<ul style=""><li>LLM evaluation in our tech stack: Evaluate the accuracy and consistency of LLMs integrated within our technology and analysis stack, for instance to extract meaningful insights from customer conversations (sentiment, tone, behaviors) or other technical applications.

Back Market has created a marketplace to connect companies that restore used gadgets with consumers through a one-stop shopping experience, complete with warranties and customer service. While the company has seen meteoric growth, particularly since its expansion in the U.S., overall sales of used gadgets remain small compared to those of brand-new devices.
