About The Position

As an AI Scientist, you will propose, explore and hands-on build the core algorithms for our self-improving reasoning engine. You will push the frontier on the data-efficient methods that allow our system to learn how to reason – how to probe LLMs, extract their hidden knowledge, and synthesize fragments into reliable, complex answers.

Requirements

• Deep, first-principles understanding of LLM reasoning and failure modes.
• Experience understanding LLM "quirks".
• Expertise in ML algorithm design, search, or optimization.
• Knowledge of the limitations of common LLM-training methods.
• Ability to design novel, data-efficient methods for discovering optimal, task-specific reasoning strategies.
• Passion for designing core self-improvement loops for autonomous system learning.
• Strong publication record.

Responsibilities

• Propose, explore, and hands-on build core algorithms for a self-improving reasoning engine.
• Push the frontier on data-efficient methods for learning reasoning capabilities.
• Develop methods to probe LLMs, extract hidden knowledge, and synthesize fragments into reliable, complex answers.
• Design core self-improvement loops that allow a system to learn from problems it solves to improve autonomously.
• Bring novel ideas to fruition.
