About IPinfo

IPinfo is a leading provider of IP address data, including geolocation, VPN and residential proxy detection, mobile carrier data and over 20 other context tags. Our API handles over 120 billion requests a month, and we also license our data for use in many products and services you might have used. We're a fast growing bootstrapped business with a global team of around 60 people, and offer data products including IP geolocation, IP to company, carrier detection, and VPN detection. Our customers include Cloudflare, T-Mobile, SpaceX, DemandBase, Clearbit, and many more. We also sponsor academic conferences such as ACM IMC and ACM CoNEXT to connect with fellow researchers.

How We Work

We have an ambitious team, spread all over the globe. We sync up on a monthly all-hands Zoom call, and most teams do a call together every 1-2 weeks. Everything else happens asynchronously, via Slack, GitHub, Linear, and Notion. That means you can pick the hours that work best for you, to allow you to be at your most productive.

During the research internship you work within the research team to extract deep knowledge from our data, collaborate with fellow researchers on academic research papers, and discuss ideas at academic Internet measurement conferences.

To thrive in this environment you'll need to have high levels of autonomy and ownership. You have to be resourceful and able to work effectively in a remote setup.

Responsibilities

We collect more than 75TB of Internet data every week, including BGP, DNS, ping and traceroute data from more than 1200 servers around the world. Our research team is at the forefront of analyzing and evaluating this data to ensure it finds its way into our producs - IP geolocation, VPN detection, our IP tags and more.

During the research internship you will be working on a well-defined research/data analysis project which allows you to collaborate with the research and data teams at IPinfo. The goal of the internship is to gather novel insights, gain new knowledge in data analysis, processing, and Internet measurements, and present your results within the group. During your internship at IPinfo you will be a full member of the research team. Towards the end of your internship you will be evaluating the results and assess possible publication venues (academic conferences, journals, published report,). Check out to find example research projects at IPinfo.
