Member of Technical Staff, Research (Intern)

The role

You will work with the founding team to architect model reasoning and intelligence. This involves driving foundational research, designing high-impact datasets, and managing research projects to scale data for AGI/ASI.

What you will do

• Architect and execute a core research agenda to advance model reasoning and intelligence.
• Own the full research-to-production lifecycle and ensure rapid deployment in live systems.
• Partner with AI research teams to design and iterate on high-impact datasets and benchmarking efforts.
• Focus on critical alignment, safety, and defining optimal reward signals.
• Identify, scope, and manage long-running research projects.
• Collaborate with engineering teams on data pipelines, internal tooling, and deep learning algorithm implementations.

Required qualifications

• Research expertise in a related field (e.g., CS, ML, NLP).
• Proven track record in the productization of research, encompassing high-stakes evaluation, large-scale benchmarking, and product feature development.
• Experience shipping research directly to production and live systems, specifically focusing on advanced post-training, distillation, and high-stakes evaluation methodologies.
• Experience with large-scale agent systems: orchestration frameworks, tool APIs, distributed execution, observability, and logging infrastructure.
• Experience advising on or shaping governmental policy related to AI safety and governance (e.g., House of Lords or Online Safety Bill initiatives).

Nice to have

• Work published at a major conference (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR).

Benefits

• Health, dental, vision
• flexible PTO

Before you apply

• In the application form, please specify what term you would like to begin your internship (winter/summer/fall)
