Elicit is an AI research assistant that uses language models to help researchers figure out what's true and make better decisions, starting with common research tasks like literature review. Elicit radically increases the amount of good reasoning in the world, pushing the frontier forward for experts and making good reasoning more affordable for non-experts. Elicit is a scalable ML system based on human-understandable task decompositions, with supervision of process, not outcomes. This expands our collective understanding of safe AGI architectures. Since launching the newest version of Elicit last fall, response has been strong. We introduced Elicit Plus, our monthly subscription plan, and added thousands of paying users in a matter of months as well as hundreds of thousands of new sign-ups. This has been energizing for our team, but we want to ship more useful functionality to our users even faster. To that end, we need a strong front-end engineer who'll help us meet this demand while pushing the bar for quality and user experience even higher.

  • Build Elicit into a product researchers can't live without.
  • Work with a modern front-end stack (React, TypeScript, Chakra, Tailwind) to fully own shipping useful, exciting features out to users on a weekly basis.
  • Work on a mix of known features / fixes, prototypes to validate ideas, and exploratory projects in between.
  • Balance shipping features in the short term with building extensible and maintainable systems.
  • Be responsible for features in production: they need to be scalable, resilient, and easy to operate.
  • Advocate for high quality user workflows and ensure Elicit looks great and is a delight to use.
  • Contribute to discussions around UX, system design, and architecture.
  • Strong technical skills that will enable you to move comfortably around our tech stack, with strong computer science fundamentals.
  • At least a few years of professional experience contributing to software development teams and working on complex web apps.
  • Above-average communication skills to communicate technical engineering topics with stakeholders across the company.
  • Past experience or exposure to working with language models, with a focus on writing asynchronous code and error handling.
  • A sense of joy in what you do and a craftsperson's approach to your work.
  • Flexible work environment: work from our office in Oakland or remotely, as long as you're comfortable traveling for in-person retreats and coworking events.
  • Fully covered health, dental, vision, and life insurance for you, generous coverage for the rest of your family.
  • Flexible vacation policy, with a minimum recommendation of 20 days / year and plenty of company holidays.
  • 401K with a 6% employer match.
  • A new Mac + $1,000 budget to set up your workstation or home office in your first year, then $500 every year thereafter.
  • $1,000 quarterly AI Experimentation & Learning budget.
  • A team administrative assistant who can help you with personal and work tasks.
