Job Description

Interested in working on the models behind superintelligence?

This role focuses on developing AI systems designed to accelerate scientific discovery, from generating hypotheses and new datasets through to powering robotic labs capable of running real-world experiments autonomously.

You’ll join a frontier research team building large-scale models that reason, plan, and act across complex environments, not just generate outputs.

The work sits across agentic systems, reasoning, continual learning, inference-time scaling, reinforcement learning, and large-scale evaluation. The team is already training models beyond 100B parameters and continuing to push architecture and efficiency improvements across next-generation systems.

You’ll work closely with researchers and engineers tackling some of the hardest problems in modern AI, including scalable reasoning, long-horizon planning, model behaviour, evaluation, and efficient deployment of large frontier systems.

The ideal background is someone who has worked hands-on with large-scale training environments and modern deep learning systems.

You’ll bring experience with:
- Experience working on large models (ideally 30B+ parameters)
- Exposure to MoE or large-scale distributed training
- Background in LLM post-training, RL, or agent systems
- Experience in a frontier lab or similarly ambitious environment

Publications are valued, but practical experience building and scaling systems carries equal weight.

This is the type of environment many people at top labs leave to build themselves. The difference here is you get the backing, compute, and team already in place.

Salary: $350k - $450k Base DOE + Sizeable Stock Options and Bonuses
Location: SF hybrid or US Remote or London

If you’re thinking seriously about where frontier model development is heading next, this is worth exploring.
