Senior AI Researcher

The role

You will own a research roadmap to advance the core AI platform. This involves designing experiments, prototyping, and shipping models for legal reasoning, information extraction, and automated drafting into production.

What you will do

• Own a research roadmap end-to-end
• Advance the core AI platform through novel approaches to reasoning, extraction, and drafting
• Conduct research on hallucination detection, calibration, and explainability
• Apply advanced fine-tuning, PEFT, and distillation techniques
• Evaluate emerging work in agentic systems and long-context modeling
• Build and maintain evaluation infrastructure, datasets, and benchmarks
• Partner with Engineering and Product to ship prototypes to production
• Write internal reports and present findings to technical and non-technical audiences

Required qualifications

• Ph.D. in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related quantitative field or equivalent industry research experience
• Evidence of exceptional ability such as a paper, shipped system, open-source contribution, competition result, or hard problem cracked
• Deep, hands-on experience in deep learning research and development, particularly with LLMs
• Strong working knowledge of modern frameworks (PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow) and the surrounding open-source ecosystem
• Expertise in at least one of: agentic systems, reasoning, parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) methods, quantization, inference optimization, hallucination mitigation, novel architectures in deep le
• Excellent communication skills

Nice to have

• Publications at top venues (NeurIPS, AAAI, ICML, ICLR) or peer-reviewed journals in adjacent quantitative fields
• Experience with long-context modeling, retrieval, or grounded generation in high-stakes domains
• Prior work on hallucination detection, calibration, or interpretability
• A track record of building from zero in fast-paced startup or research environments

Benefits

• Competitive Compensation
• Equity
• Relocation and Visa Support
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans
• Access to HSA and FSA accounts
• Life insurance coverage
• 401(k) Program
• Commuter Benefits
