The posting

On-site 5 days a week in San Francisco, CA

Total Cash Compensation: Up to $300K

No visa sponsorship

Company builds the training data and evaluation infrastructure that frontier AI labs use to improve their models. They work with all five of the world's leading AI labs to design high-signal datasets and run rigorous evaluations that go beyond static benchmarks.

One of the fastest-growing companies in their YC batch. $30M raised at a $300M valuation, backed by Y Combinator, BoxGroup, Lightspeed, Warburg Pincus, Silver Lake, and Index Ventures, with investors from Google DeepMind and Meta GenAI senior leadership. Founding team from Jane Street, Meta, Citadel Securities, Google, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Berkeley AI Research (BAIR), and Stanford AI Lab (SAIL).

About the Role

Company is seeking exceptional technical candidates to work directly with the founding team on high-priority projects spanning AI research, product development, and engineering infrastructure. One week you might be scoping a dataset generation pipeline for a frontier lab. The next you are managing a team of ML engineers through a quality control system, or interfacing directly with a research team at Anthropic or OpenAI.

The role sits at the intersection of technical execution and strategic leadership. You will own initiatives end-to-end from requirements through delivery, managing teams of experts across software engineering, data science, and machine learning. This is a founding role with significant equity upside and direct access to the people shaping the future of AI.

What You'll Own

  • Work closely with the world's leading AI labs to generate next-generation datasets that push the boundaries of AI, directly generating revenue for the company
  • Manage teams of technical experts across software engineering, data science, and machine learning on high-priority campaigns
  • Build technical infrastructure and tooling to support dataset generation, quality control, and delivery pipelines
  • Drive technical and operational initiatives end-to-end: scoping requirements, building solutions, and managing technical experts through to delivery
  • Interface directly with engineering and research teams at leading frontier AI labs
  • Support the founding team on high-priority technical projects and operational initiatives
  • Context-switch rapidly between technical execution and strategic work as priorities shift

Required Qualifications

  • Strong technical background: CS degree, engineering experience, or equivalent demonstrated ability to ship technical projects
  • Eagerness to manage teams of experts for technical human data campaigns
  • Intense work ethic, agency, and drive with a competitive track record of exceptional achievement
  • Proficiency in Python and comfort writing production-quality code
  • Experience with data pipelines, APIs, or ML and AI tooling
  • Passion for AI and demonstrated interest in frontier AI research
  • Strong leadership experience and communication skills, both written and verbal
  • Ability to context-switch rapidly between technical and strategic work

Preferred Qualifications

  • Background in software engineering, ML engineering, AI research, or computer science
  • Experience at a top tech company, FAANG, frontier AI lab, or quantitative trading firm
  • Prior startup experience or founding experience
  • Willingness to work long hours and weekends when projects demand 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.
