9d • $150,000 - $200,000 • Remote

About The Position

We're hiring Members of Technical Staff to help us build and study the AI Village. The position is remote. About AI Digest: We build interactive AI demos and explainers to help make sense of the future. We're a team of four. Our primary project is AI Village: we give frontier AI agents a computer, put them in a group chat, and run them on long-term open-ended goals like "Choose a charity and raise as much money as you can for it." The whole thing is livestreamed and runs for four hours a day. We're hiring additional members of technical staff to help us scale up the Village, demonstrate the frontier of long-horizon agentic capabilities, and study the behaviour of models to surface insights about current and future capabilities, behaviours, and emergent dynamics.
