Full Job Description
Responsibilities
  • Probe the model's internal representations for physical quantities, structure, and conservation laws
  • Develop methods to explain individual predictions and the model's reasoning about interventions
  • Investigate whether interventions in the model's internal state produce physically coherent responses
  • Build tools and techniques for debugging model failures and understanding rollout behavior
  • Partner with model, evaluation, and domain teams to turn interpretability findings into better models and greater trust


What we're looking for

We value a relentless approach to problem-solving, rapid execution, and the ability to quickly learn in unfamiliar domains.
  • Strong grasp of machine learning fundamentals and the internals of modern neural network architectures
  • Experience or strong interest in interpretability, representation analysis, or related research
  • Strong engineering skills for building interpretability tooling and running careful experiments
  • A rigorous, hypothesis-driven approach to understanding model behavior
  • A track record of turning open-ended research questions into concrete findings
