Your role
We're seeking researchers with demonstrated research track record or have clear potential to excel at research (like AI residents) to innovate on the bleeding edge of applying AI to knowledge work. You'll work directly with founders to improve the performance of agents on financial analysis tasks through a variety of techniques, which may include prompt/context engineering, continued pre-training or post-training (fine-tuning + RL).
You, the ideal candidate:
- Have demonstrated either research impact through high-quality publications or experience at top-tier research labs, or exceptional research potential
- Codes as well as the best engineers, which is important to be a top researcher
- Is creative in coming up with contrarian ideas and validates/rejects them quickly with experimental rigor
- End-to-end detail-oriented, understanding the whole ML pipeline from data provenance to training and model evaluation
- Knows how to manipulate tensors, not just configs
- Familiar with large-scale model training infrastructure
- Can assess when fine-tuning makes sense vs prompting/context-engineering
