About the roleWe're hiring a Member of Technical Staff - Research to help advance the frontier of autonomous agents. You'll work on core research problems in long-horizon evaluation, agent post-training, and environment design, with a focus on understanding where current models fail and how to improve them. As a member of the founding team, you should expect to wear multiple hats: building benchmarks, creating environments, writing production code, and running rigorous experiments. We're looking for people who are excited by hard open-ended problems and want to operate at the intersection of research and engineering. Examples of projects you could work on include:
- Developing an advanced environment simulation engine for training & evaluating autonomous AI agents
- Investigating failure modes of frontier models
- Creating rigorous benchmarks that evaluate how well frontier agents perform on complex, realistic tasks requiring long-horizon reasoning and tool use in dynamic environments
- Post-training agents in complex simulation environments
- Publishing research
You'll be a good fit if you:- Have strong engineering & research fundamentals and are a prolific user of AI tools
- Have experience post-training frontier models
- Have experience shipping reliable, production-quality code
- Have a track record of publications
Perks:- 🪷 Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
- Free meals with the team
- Free Bay Club membership (right next door to our Embarcadero office!)
- 🚞 Commuter benefits
- 401(k)
- Unlimited PTO
- Top of the line tech
- 🌁 Frequent team activities and outings
