• 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.
