Full Job Description
đź“‹ Description
- • As the Member of the Technical Staff, you are the 'PM of the model,' architecting the next generation of model reasoning and intelligence.
- • You will lead at the absolute frontier where research and execution collide, co-designing strategies alongside top-tier researchers from AI labs to push SOTA boundaries.
- • This is a role for a technical visionary with a 'founder mentality' and a bias for extreme ownership, infiltrating unknown domains—from chemical engineering to complex legal logic—to extract insights for high-stakes frontier projects that others find impossible.
- • Drive Foundational Research & Execution: Architect and execute a core research agenda to discover simple, generalizable ideas that advance model reasoning and intelligence at scale.
- • Model Alignment & Data Strategy: Partner with the world's most advanced AI research teams to design, engineer, and iterate on high-impact datasets and large-scale benchmarking efforts that shape how frontier models behave, specifically focusing on critical alignment, safety, and defining optimal reward signals.
- • Autonomous Problem Selection: Autonomously identify, scope, and manage long-running research projects, choosing the most impactful problems that are critical to scaling data for AGI/ASI.
- • System Infrastructure: Collaborate closely with engineering teams on data pipelines, internal tooling, and high-performance deep learning algorithm implementations.
🎯 Requirements
- • PhD in a related field (e.g., CS, ML, NLP) with a world-class publication record (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR).
- • Proven experience shipping research directly to production and live systems, specifically focusing on advanced post-training, distillation, and high-stakes evaluation methodologies.
- • Large-scale agent systems: orchestration frameworks, tool APIs, distributed execution, observability, and logging infrastructure.
🏖️ Benefits
- • Base Salary: $200,000 - $500,000++
- • Cash Bonus: Sizable performance bonus tied to project and company milestones
- • Equity: Meaningful early-stage grant
- • Health, dental, vision + flexible PTO
