You use your research depth on a question that matters to a real user, in a scoped project with a named mentor and realistic resources. We would rather give you one well-defined problem and the support to answer it properly than a broad brief and no time.
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
Develop an experiment in systems, hardware, security, learning or human interaction. Agree research objectives, evaluation and publication expectations early. Participate in technical reviews and leave a reproducible artifact the team can continue using.
The milestone
By the end of the agreed paid placement, deliver a tested result, documented code or methods and a presentation that explains the limitations.
Required
Nice to have
Evidence
Bring doctoral-level research preparation or an equivalent advanced research track appropriate to the project. We value clear thinking, integrity and collaboration alongside technical depth.
Evidence, not credentials. We are describing work you can point at, in whatever form it exists.
The exercise
Discuss a research project you know deeply and propose a smaller experiment that would resolve its largest uncertainty.
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.
