Jobs at Aaru

Lead methodological strategy for AI-driven human behavior simulations during the sales process. Design audiences, stimuli, validation frameworks, proof-of-concept evaluations, and comparisons with traditional research methods. Translate business questions into rigorous simulation designs, explain statistical validity to senior stakeholders, support account executives and deployment teams, and convert field feedback into product priorities. Contribute to public methodology, accuracy frameworks, and validation publications.

Lead and build Aaru's legal, compliance, risk, and governance functions. Negotiate cross-jurisdictional enterprise and government agreements, manage IP and patent strategy, navigate evolving AI regulations, support fundraising and corporate governance, and establish legal operations for hypergrowth.

Serve as the technical bridge in pre-sales: lead technical discovery, design simulation-based POCs and demos, partner with commercial teams, support delivery handoff, relay client feedback to product/engineering, and communicate data-heavy findings to stakeholders.

Lead a focused team researching empirical prediction systems, including calibration, forecasting, subgroup performance, drift, and agentic prediction. Set research priorities, design rigorous experiments, build models from heterogeneous real-world data, and establish standards for temporal validity and prospective evaluation. Manage researchers, recruit and mentor talent, communicate evidence clearly, and transfer validated methods into production through cross-functional partnerships with population, evaluation, engineering, data, and product teams.

Lead Aaru’s Simulation Engineering team and own the quality, scalability, reproducibility, observability, and operational health of production AI simulations. Set architecture and productionization standards, build evaluation and regression systems, improve large-scale simulation performance, manage incidents and releases, collaborate across research and engineering, and recruit and develop high-performing engineers. The role remains hands-on, involving technical design, coding, debugging, and difficult tradeoffs among fidelity, calibration, latency, cost, and reliability.

Lead and develop a small team of Product Engineers while remaining hands-on in architecture, coding, debugging, and technical direction. Partner with Product and Design to define roadmaps, build reusable customer-facing capabilities, and establish quality standards for AI-native products. Own production reliability, security, permissions, latency, cost, observability, and incident follow-up. Recruit and mentor engineers, improve execution across workstreams, and create durable interfaces with platform, simulation, research, and deployment teams.

Own research on forecasting aggregate human behavior and future outcomes. Build datasets and predictive methods, including statistical models, language models, retrieval, and agent simulation. Design temporal holdouts and prospective evaluations; assess calibration, robustness, subgroup performance, uncertainty, and decision costs. Diagnose failures, compare complex approaches with strong baselines, document reproducible findings, communicate negative results, and hand validated methods to engineering for production deployment.

Own ambiguous customer problems end to end, from user discovery and system design through implementation, evaluation, rollout, measurement, and production support. Build full-stack, AI-native product experiences involving interfaces, APIs, data models, orchestration, permissions, integrations, and reporting. Establish evaluation criteria, instrumentation, reliability practices, and reusable product primitives while collaborating with product, design, platform, simulation, research, and customer-facing teams.

Lead and grow the Platform engineering team building APIs, workflows, and interfaces that make simulations usable. Set technical direction, make architecture decisions, write code, turn research into reliable product features, hire and mentor engineers, and deliver high-quality production systems in an in-person NYC environment.

Own Aaru’s governance, risk, and compliance program, including enterprise security reviews, audit readiness, control testing, policy and evidence governance, third-party risk, and AI governance. Manage auditors, customer diligence, remediation, vendor assessments, and security questionnaires. Build repeatable, automated workflows in a GRC platform rather than maintaining legacy processes, while partnering with engineering, product, legal, customers, and commercial teams.

Design and build the platform that powers AI-driven simulation products. Create abstractions and framework-level code, partner with research and product to integrate simulation capabilities, and own platform architecture through implementation and iteration to make complex capabilities accessible to diverse users.

Lead product design across Aaru's AI-native platform: identify user patterns, ship prototypes and features, evolve the design system, experiment with agentic workflows, and hire/build the design team.

Own the full enterprise sales cycle for Aaru's AI-driven behavioral simulation product: prospecting, discovery, scoping, pitching, negotiation, and close. Develop targeted outbound strategies, manage multi-stakeholder executive deals, expand market segments, refine go-to-market playbooks, and maintain disciplined pipeline hygiene, forecasting, and CRM-driven account plans.

Source and secure high-value third-party datasets by mapping the data landscape, outreaching to vendors, coordinating sample reviews, evaluating data quality and value, negotiating licensing and commercial terms, and maintaining vendor records while partnering with research, engineering, and leadership to prioritize acquisitions.

Build and maintain scalable pipelines to ingest, clean, and integrate large multimodal datasets. Own ingestion across APIs, files, cloud storage, and warehouses. Design linkage, entity resolution, deduplication, and schema harmonization. Implement data quality checks, validation, and documentation. Collaborate with engineering, research, and deployment teams to prepare integrated data for simulations and evaluate new data sources.

Turn simulation research into production: productionize core simulation loop, design reusable agent/population abstractions, build evaluation and accuracy infrastructure, optimize simulations for scale, collaborate with researchers on hybrid LLM+classical architectures, enable deployment tooling, and produce analysis and publication layers for clients.

Manage end-to-end client relationships and deployments, scope engagements, deliver high-quality simulation-driven insights, coordinate engineering/product/commercial teams, represent the company to C-suite stakeholders, and identify new business opportunities across industries.

Coordinate end-to-end candidate experience, schedule interviews across time zones, partner with recruiters and hiring managers, manage logistics and admin, operate independently, and drive process improvement projects to scale recruiting.

Own the full enterprise sales cycle for Aaru's behavioral-simulation AI: drive outbound prospecting, discovery, scoping, pitching, negotiation and close; manage multi-stakeholder deals; expand markets; refine go-to-market playbooks; maintain pipeline hygiene and forecasting.

Serve as the technical bridge between Aaru's AI simulation platform and customers. Lead pre-sales technical discovery, design simulations, deliver demos and POCs for senior stakeholders, support sales-to-delivery handoff, collaborate with deployment, and relay client feedback to product and engineering while communicating complex findings to diverse audiences.
