You turn promising ideas into experiments other people can trust and extend, working in the space between scientific exploration and production engineering. Most research code answers a question once and is then unreadable; yours has to answer it in a way somebody else can check and build on. Formal research experience is welcome here, and serious independent or open-source work counts just as much.
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
Implement methods, reproduce papers, construct datasets and evaluation environments, and optimize experimental systems. Work with scientists to identify confounders and with product engineers to test transfer into real workflows. Document failures as carefully as successes.
The milestone
In your first 90 days, reproduce one important baseline and deliver a well-tested experiment or prototype that answers a specific question.
Required
Nice to have
Evidence
Bring strong programming, quantitative reasoning and curiosity. Research experience is welcome, and equivalent evidence from serious independent or open-source work is equally useful.
Evidence, not credentials. We are describing work you can point at, in whatever form it exists.
The exercise
Reconstruct an experiment from incomplete notes and identify what must be clarified before its result can be believed.
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.
