We are backed by top-tier investors, including OpenAI, Thrive Capital, Dimension, Conviction, Lachy Groom, Amplify, and many more.

Position Overview

We are opportunistically hiring a research team leader who has assembled and led world-class industrial research organizations. You are hands-on as well as strategic; a disciplined thinker with a creative mind; and are as good with code as you are with models and humans.
