About the team
The Frontier Evals team builds north star model evaluations to drive progress towards safe AGI/ASI. This team builds ambitious evaluations to measure and steer our models, and creates self-improvement loops to steer our training, safety, and launch decisions. Some of the team's open-sourced evaluations include SWE-bench Verified, MLE-bench, PaperBench, and SWE-Lancer, and the team built and ran frontier evaluations for GPT4o, o1, o3, GPT 4.5, ChatGPT Agent, and GPT5. If you are interested in feeling firsthand the fast progress of our models, and steering them towards good, this is the team for you.

About you
We are seeking exceptional research engineers that can push the boundaries of our frontier models in the finance domain. We are looking for those who will help shape AI evaluations of financial reasoning and related capabilities, and will own individual threads within this endeavor end-to-end.

In this role, you'll:

• Identify important model capabilities, skills, and behaviors that are crucial to financial workflows, and design methods to quantify performance in these areas
• Own and pursue a research agenda to identify an important model capability (especially as it relates to financial reasoning) and build evals to measure it
• Continuously refine evaluations of frontier AI models to assess the extent of frontier capabilities

We expect you to be:

• Have prior background / domain expertise in finance, especially investment banking or private equity, and a passion for these problems
• Detail-oriented and thorough
• Team player / willing to do a variety of tasks to move the team forward
• Passionate and knowledgeable about AGI/ASI measurement
• Strong engineering and statistical analysis skills
• Able to operate effectively in a dynamic and extremely fast-paced research environment as well as scope and deliver projects end-to-end

It would be great if you also have:

• An ability to work cross-functionally
• Excellent communication skills
