ABOUT THE ROLEWe are hiring an
Applied AI Scientist to push the frontier of what is possible with LLMs, NLP, and machine learning in real-world environments. This is not a role for someone who wants to optimize benchmarks in isolation and hand work off to someone else. It is a role for someone who wants to see advanced research become customer-facing product quickly.
You will work closely with founders, product leaders, and engineers to turn advanced AI techniques into systems that operate under real production constraints.
WHY THIS ROLE- Apply cutting-edge AI research to live customer workflows and production systems.
- Work directly with founders and a highly experienced technical team.
- Build solutions for document intelligence, quote comparison, workflow optimization, and other high-value use cases.
- See your work move from research to deployment in weeks, not quarters.
- Help define how applied AI creates advantage in a large, underserved market.
WHAT YOU'LL DO- Research and develop LLM-based solutions for NLP, document intelligence, semantic search, and data extraction.
- Design and improve prompt strategies, retrieval-augmented generation systems, and fine-tuned models.
- Partner with product and engineering teams to bring AI capabilities into customer-facing workflows.
- Build evaluation pipelines and benchmarks for accuracy, performance, and robustness.
- Stay current on new research and rapidly test promising techniques in practical settings.
- Operate as both a scientist and builder, with direct responsibility for whether ideas survive contact with real data.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR- PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, NLP, or a related field.
- Strong research background with publications in top-tier AI venues such as NeurIPS, ACL, ICML, or EMNLP.
- Hands-on experience with LLMs, transformers, embeddings, or neural information retrieval.
- Proficiency in Python and ML tooling such as PyTorch, Hugging Face, and LangChain.
- Track record of applying research in practical, production-oriented systems.
- Strong technical judgment about what is novel, what is useful, and what is actually ready to ship.
BONUS IF YOU HAVE- Experience with unstructured data such as PDFs, forms, contracts, or portals.
- Background in enterprise or B2B AI applications.
- Familiarity with insurance, legal, or document-heavy industries.
WHAT YOU'LL GET- A high-impact role on a team that moves quickly and builds with purpose.
- Competitive compensation and meaningful equity.
- Remote-first flexibility.
- Access to real data, real users, and fast feedback cycles.
- The opportunity to bring advanced research to life in a major industry.
