The posting

ABOUT GAMUT

Gamut is building the agent workforce. We're a seed-stage team backed by Human Capital (SpaceX, Snowflake, Anduril) building a platform that allows non-engineers to build AI employees that get the whole job done. Early customers are already automating several hours of their workday across their most complicated tasks in sales, marketing, ops, etc.

We're hiring people who want to build, not manage. If you want to work on hard problems with a small team that ships, this is the place.

THE ROLE

As Head of Research, you’ll own Gamut’s research agenda and build an applied research organization focused on making agents radically more reliable and capable. You’ll define the roadmap across agent planning, tool orchestration, evaluation, and safety; lead hands-on experimentation; and partner closely with engineering to productionize breakthroughs that drive measurable quality and reliability wins for customers.

YOU WILL:

- Set the research strategy and roadmap for agent planning, tool orchestration, multi-agent coordination, and evaluation.

- Build, lead, and mentor a high-caliber applied research team.

- Design and run rigorous experiments (ablations, offline/online A/Bs), defining clear metrics for reliability, accuracy, and performance.

- Own our evaluation stack: datasets, benchmarks, human-in-the-loop reviews, and reliability/safety assessments.

- Develop novel methods (e.g., agent planning algorithms, tool selection strategies, multi-agent coordination, safety/alignment techniques) and ship reference implementations.

- Collaborate with engineering to transfer research into production and measure real-world impact.

- This role is in-office, 5 days/week, based in San Francisco.

YOU MIGHT BE A GREAT FIT IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH:

- Leading applied ML/NLP research teams and shipping work into production at a startup or high-growth company.

- LLM and agent internals: prompting strategies, tool use, planning/reasoning architectures, multi-agent systems, and evaluation methodology.

- Building evaluation frameworks (task suites, synthetic data, human eval pipelines) and tying metrics to product outcomes.

- Large-scale agent systems: orchestration frameworks, tool APIs, distributed execution, observability, and logging infrastructure.

- Strong coding skills in Python and a bias toward hands-on experimentation and rapid iteration.

- Data curation and labeling workflows, with attention to privacy, safety, and robustness.

- Communicating research clearly and partnering cross-functionally with engineering and product.

- (Nice to have) Publications or notable open-source contributions; patents; early-stage 0→1 experience.

BENEFITS

- Competitive salary, based on experience level (Annual compensation range: $50,000 to $500,000)

- Meaningful equity

- Health, dental, and vision coverage

- Opportunity to be a founding member of a growing company

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
