You bring a rigorous academic perspective to a real personal-computing problem while keeping a clearly defined university role. This is designed as a genuine dual appointment rather than a consulting arrangement with a nicer name, and your independence is part of what makes it valuable.
Open for applications. Starts at: Research program.
We are taking applications for this role now and building the pipeline for it. The stage above is when the work itself is expected to begin, which is something you deserve to know before you apply rather than after. It is context, not a gate.
Where
In the office together five days a week, in one of our garages, and remote-friendly around your family, arranged one person at a time. We hire across the United States 🇺🇸, India 🇮🇳 and the UAE 🇦🇪.
The work
Co-design a bounded research agenda with an internal technical owner. Mentor researchers, review experiments and help create publishable findings. Agree time commitments, institutional permissions, conflicts, IP, data access and publication arrangements before the appointment begins.
The milestone
Within the first 90 days of the agreed appointment, produce a research plan, a baseline and one substantive technical review.
Required
Nice to have
Evidence
Bring an active research program relevant to systems, architecture, security, AI or human-computer interaction. Show interest in both scientific contribution and what a working system teaches us.
Evidence, not credentials. We are describing work you can point at, in whatever form it exists.
The exercise
Propose a question your laboratory could investigate that produces a useful result even if the original hypothesis is disproved.
The package
Indicative pay ranges by market and level are on the compensation page. Plan numbers are confirmed in your offer letter.
Apply
One short form. A person reads every application and you hear back either way. You will get your own link to check where things stand, and you can withdraw or delete your application from it at any time, without an account.
