Staff Research Engineer, Discovery Team

As a Research Engineer on our team you will work end to end, identifying and addressing key blockers on the path to scientific AGI.

Responsibilities:

• Working across the full stack to identify and remove bottlenecks preventing progress toward scientific AGI
• Develop approaches to address long-horizon task completion and complex reasoning challenges essential for scientific discovery
• Scaling research ideas from prototype to production
• Create benchmarks and evaluation frameworks to measure model capabilities in scientific workflows and computer use
• Implement distributed training systems and performance optimizations to support large-scale model development

You may be a good fit if you:

• Have 8+ years of ML research experience
• Are familiar with large scale language model training, evaluation, and inference pipelines
• Enjoy obsessively iterating on immediate blockers towards longterm goals
• Thrive working collaboratively to solve problems
• Have expertise in performance optimization and distributed computing systems
• Show strong problem-solving skills and ability to identify technical bottlenecks in complex systems
• Can translate research concepts into scalable engineering solutions
• Have a track record of shipping ML systems that tackle challenging multi-step reasoning problems

Strong candidates may also have:

• Expertise with performance optimization for language model inference and training
• Experience with computer use automation and agentic AI systems
• A history working on reinforcement learning approaches for complex task completion
• Knowledge of containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud deployment at scale
• Demonstrated ability to work across multiple domains (language modeling, systems engineering, scientific computing)
• Have experience with VM/sandboxing/container deployment and large-scale data processing
• Experience working with large scale data problem solving and infrastructure
• Published research or practical experience in scientific AI applications or long-horizon reasoning

The annual compensation range for this role is $350,000-$850,000 USD.
