The posting

ABOUT THE COMPANY

We're building autonomous research agents for recursive self-improvement (multi-agent systems that propose, run, and analyze machine learning experiments). We're a small team based in San Francisco, on-site

ABOUT THE ROLE

You'll build and maintain the research systems and pipelines that our research runs on top of: data pipelines, training infrastructure, evaluation tooling, deployment, observability. The work bridges research and production, and you'll be the person who makes "we ran an experiment" actually mean "we ran it correctly, at scale, with results we trust."

You'll own systems end-to-end. You'll work with researchers daily and translate research code into infrastructure that the team can rely on. You'll move fast and you'll be measured on whether your systems make the team faster.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Build and maintain the training, evaluation, and deployment pipelines that our research runs on

- Take research code from prototype to production: refactor, harden, instrument, test

- Design observability into our research systems (metrics, logs, traces, eval dashboards) so failures surface fast

- Own data pipelines for training and evaluation: ingest, dedup, version, validate

- Work closely with researchers to understand what they need, what's slow, and what's brittle

- Set engineering standards across our research stack (testing, reviews, runbooks) so the team scales

- Contribute to architectural decisions that shape how research and production interact

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- Senior research engineer with 6+ years building production-grade research systems

- Track record across the full lifecycle: data, training, evaluation, deployment, monitoring

- Strong distributed systems experience; you've shipped systems that have to be on

- Fluent Python, fluent with at least one of (PyTorch, JAX); comfortable at the systems-level when needed

- Comfortable with experimentation infrastructure (Ray, Slurm, Kubernetes, or similar)

- Bias toward shipping; you prefer working code over working diagrams

- Strong written communication

NICE TO HAVE

- Experience building experimentation platforms or research infrastructure at a frontier research lab

- Background in distributed training systems

- Open-source contributions to research infrastructure

- History of working effectively with small senior teams

THIS ROLE IS PROBABLY NOT FOR YOU IF

- You want to do research with engineering as a side activity: this is engineering as the main thing

- Cross-functional work with researchers (translation, scoping, education) doesn't appeal

- Long-running ownership of running systems isn't appealing: this role has it

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.
