Engineering Jobs in Woodside, CA

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.

Head of Customer Experience

San Francisco (On-site)

$185K–$250K + Bonus + Equity

36 million businesses in America need insurance. 77% are underinsured. The system is slow, opaque, and human-heavy.

We're building the inverse: a 90%+ AI-led commercial insurance platform — and defining what the human layer should be.

We're scaling from 5,000 → 100,000+ customers. Customer Experience is where that scale either breaks... or compounds.

The Role

This is not a call center leadership role.

You will own the full service lifecycle — COIs, endorsements, renewals, claims coordination, billing escalations, quality, and trust — and build the systems that allow CX to scale 10x without 10x headcount.

You'll:

• Work directly with the CEO
• Start in the queue to learn the edge cases
• Partner deeply with Product & Engineering
• Turn recurring friction into automation, self-serve, and smarter routing
• Build the AI → self-serve → human → escalation model

The question isn't "How do we respond faster?"

It's "Why are we responding at all?"

You Might Be a Fit If:

• You've scaled CX/Ops through 10x+ growth
• You've built systems, not just hired teams
• You're comfortable in sprint planning, specs, UAT, and prioritization tradeoffs
• You've personally handled escalations at scale
• You default to building before buying

Bonus: Experience in insurance, fintech, lending, or other regulated environments.

If you've survived hypergrowth and want to design the operating system that powers a computational insurance business, let's talk.
