Research Engineer / Research Scientist, Human Flourishing

What you'll do

• Develop training methods and RL environments, and evaluate how beneficial behavior generalizes across settings.
• Lead research from problem definition and experiments through integration into frontier models and shipped products.
• Work with product teams, engineers, partners, and domain experts to measure real-world effects and assess AI’s impact on human flourishing.

What they ask for

• Strong research record in pretraining or RL/post-training, especially in hard-to-verify areas; alternatively, strong LLM research skills combined with deep expertise in education, mental health, or a related human-benefit field.
• Ability to write and debug code and work directly with data and training infrastructure.
• Ability to lead rigorous experiments and take ownership of ambiguous research problems.
