Engineering Jobs in Daly City

About the Company

An early-stage AI research lab focused on interpretability, alignment, and reinforcement learning is hiring a Research Engineer. Founded by former frontier-model researchers, the team works directly on model internals and training dynamics to better understand how AI systems reason. The lab runs fast experimental research cycles, building custom tools to explore open-ended questions about model behavior.

About the Role

This role focuses on building the experimental tooling that enables interpretability research. You will develop systems that allow researchers to inspect, measure, and manipulate internal model representations. This is not a production ML or MLOps role — it's for engineers who enjoy building new experimental systems from scratch and working closely with researchers.

Responsibilities

• Build custom RL-style environments and experimental testbeds for interpretability research
• Develop tools for activation tracing and mechanistic interpretability
• Implement probes to detect latent concepts (e.g., deception, goals, uncertainty)
• Prototype activation-level steering methods beyond prompting or fine-tuning
• Collaborate with researchers to rapidly iterate on experiments and tooling

Qualifications

• Strong programming skills in Python
• Experience with ML frameworks such as PyTorch or JAX
• Experience working with deep learning models or LLMs
• Strong software engineering fundamentals and ability to build experimental ML systems

Preferred Skills

• Experience in mechanistic interpretability or alignment research
• Familiarity with reinforcement learning environments
• Background working with model internals, representations, or probing methods
• Research experience (PhD preferred but not required)

Pay range and compensation package

Competitive salary, equity, and benefits.

About Nucleus

Nucleus is a research-driven talent and intelligence platform for the next generation of investors, built at the intersection of data, experimentation, and community. We hire investors for some of the best firms in the world and are building the network, community, and intelligence layer around the people shaping the future of venture and company building.

The Role

This is a foundational hire working directly with the founder across research, community, events, client relationships, fellow experience, and search execution. One day you may be building cap tables. Another you may be running a mixer for 40 fellows or sitting in on a GP hiring conversation at a top firm.

The title is intentional. You will be in the room early, learning how the best firms operate and earning responsibility as you prove you can carry it. Over time you will own projects and workstreams. The starting point is proximity, pattern recognition, and high output across a wide surface area.

The founder focuses on strategy, vision, brand, community, and high-trust client relationships. Your role is to absorb the operational surface area so his time goes to the work only he can do. Nothing drops while he goes deep.

What the work looks like

• Work side by side with the founder across research, community, content, events, and client delivery
• Own the operational follow-through: prep materials, follow-ups, scheduling, and keeping workstreams moving between meetings
• Conduct research on investors and firms. Build and maintain the Nucleus Brain so the founder can go deeper on priority engagements.
• Collaborate on candidate shortlists and search materials for active client work
• Help coordinate NEXT Fellowship programming, pod logistics, and fellow experience
• Plan and execute community events: mixers, firesides, dinners, partner programming
• Draft and edit external communications: emails, proposals, partnership materials, client decks • Contribute to content across Nucleus Intelligence, Substack, social, and the Rise podcast
• Help shape brand and media presence
• Pick up whatever needs to get done so nothing falls through the cracks

Who you are

• 1 to 2 years in a high-intensity environment: investment banking, management consulting, executive search at a top firm, or an operating role at a venture-funded startup
• Genuinely curious about venture capital, the people in it, and how the industry actually works
• Technical bias. At the least, you are highly analytical by nature and can find information others can't and synthesize it clearly
• Warm, high-energy, and natural with people. You make rooms better when you walk in.
• Excellent writer with a tight, dense style
• Comfortable with ambiguity and context-switching in a fast-moving, founder-led environment
• Based in San Francisco or NYC. Remote will be considered. Must be in the US and be willing to travel.

Why this role

You will have a front-row seat to how the best venture firms operate, hire, and think about talent. You will build relationships with builders, investors, LPs, and emerging managers that most people spend years trying to access. And you will help build a company from the ground floor with real revenue, real clients, and a vision that extends well beyond search.

Promotions follow ownership and output, not tenure. We stay intentionally lean. Earn it, and the path to real ownership is short.

Compensation

Base: $120-180k DOE

Profit sharing with meaningful upside as the business grows
