Requirements

  • You're someone who can take a rough idea, like "researchers should be able to replay any production forecast against a modified pipeline and see what changed", and make it real: a working prototype this week, then the hardening that turns it into something the team relies on. Much of that building happens through coding agents, so the leverage is in what you choose to build and how you verify it. You either have experience with our stack, or can pick it up fast: Python on GCP and Azure, Kubernetes, Ray, Postgres, ClickHouse, Dagster. You are fascinated by AI and want a job where you push what's possible. You work quickly, and love using the products that you build. The strongest candidates will have experience with: Owning production backend systems end to end, including deploying, monitoring, and debugging them when they misbehave Building on LLM APIs and working daily with coding agents like Claude Code, with good instincts for when their output is wrong Research, in academia or in industry. Many of us come from research backgrounds, and engineers who read papers and prototype the ideas in them thrive here The ideal candidate has a burning desire to improve AI epistemics in a way that improves humanity’s decision making in the near-term. Some of the best fits for this role are people who nearly became research scientists and chose engineering instead.
