About The Position

We are seeking Research Scientists to lead deep, foundational AI research and post-research implementation that powers our next-generation enterprise AI platform, Apollo. This role will focus on advanced platform capabilities such as memory architectures, orchestration layers (intent, tone, personality), reinforcement learning systems, and comprehensive evaluation frameworks across models, inputs, and outputs. This is not just a feature-iteration role or just a research role, it is a discovery-driven position focused on building new AI capabilities that enable full end-to-end enterprise adoption.

Requirements

  • MS (minimum) or PhD (preferred) or equivalent experience in Machine Learning, AI, or related field
  • Strong background in deep learning, reinforcement learning, and large language models
  • Experience with model evaluation methodologies and safety frameworks
  • Demonstrated ability to design novel AI systems from first principles
  • Strong research-to-production mindset

Responsibilities

  • Conduct advanced research across memory systems, orchestration frameworks, reinforcement learning, and evaluation layers
  • Design novel AI architectures that support persistent memory, controllable agent behavior, and enterprise-grade reliability
  • Develop advanced evaluation frameworks that assess not only model performance, but also input integrity, output quality, safety, and alignment
  • Explore and prototype new AI platform layers through continuous discovery and experimentation
  • Translate cutting-edge research into production-ready capabilities in partnership with engineering teams
  • Publish internal research memos, technical documentation, architectural proposals, external white papers, and external patents
