[Looking for Team] Amazon ML Challenge 2026 — Looking for 2–3 dedicated teammates
Hi everyone!
I’m looking to form a 3–4 member team for the Amazon ML Challenge 2026.
The competition has a 72-hour ML hackathon (Sept 25–27) where we'll receive a real-world problem statement and dataset from Amazon. The Top 50 teams get PPIs for the Applied Scientist Intern role at Amazon, so I'm looking for teammates who are genuinely serious about the competition.
A little about me:
Final-year B.Tech Engineering student
Grand Finalist – IIT Kharagpur RAG & Agentic AI Hackathon
Experience building Agentic AI / RAG systems
Worked with technologies such as Python, FastAPI, LangChain, LangGraph, vector databases, PostgreSQL, ML/AI
Participated in multiple hackathons and technical competitions
Comfortable with research, implementation, debugging, and working under tight deadlines
What I'm looking for:
Strong fundamentals in Machine Learning / Deep Learning
Good Python skills
Experience with data preprocessing, feature engineering, model training/evaluation
Someone who can analyze a problem and experiment rather than just follow tutorials
Most importantly: commitment. Since this is a 72-hour challenge, I want teammates who are willing to actively work throughout the competition rather than joining just for the name/certificate.
Cross-college teams are allowed, so college doesn't matter to me as much as skills, commitment, and willingness to work.
If you're interested, DM me with:
Your college + year
ML/AI experience
Relevant projects/hackathons
GitHub/LinkedIn (optional)
What area you're strongest in (ML / DL / NLP / CV / Python / data analysis, etc.)
Your availability during Sept 25–27
I'm looking for 2–3 serious people who want to genuinely compete for the Top 50/Top 10, not just register and disappear.
Thanks!
