Member of Technical Staff - Research

Recursive Superintelligence•San Francisco, CA

About The Position

Recursive is building safe, recursively self-improving AI to automate knowledge discovery. The company is starting with AI that improves AI, using open-ended algorithms to create systems that continue discovering and building on what they learn. This broad research opening is for researchers and research engineers whose interests connect to the mission, including those whose backgrounds do not fit a single specialized role. The role involves working with researchers and engineers to identify promising questions, develop ideas, implement experiments, and establish what works. Deep specialists and researchers who connect ideas across fields are welcome; experience in every research area is not required. Success means producing reproducible insights and methods that improve the capability, reliability, or safety of Recursive’s systems; clearly explaining what changed and why the evidence supports it; learning quickly from unsuccessful experiments; and leaving results and tools that help the team make better research decisions.

Responsibilities

  • Work with researchers and engineers to identify promising research questions.
  • Develop research ideas and methods.
  • Implement experiments and establish what works.
  • Produce reproducible insights and methods that improve system capability, reliability, or safety.
  • Explain clearly what changed and why the evidence supports it.
  • Learn from unsuccessful experiments and provide results and tools that improve team research decisions.
