About The Position
CTGT is developing a deterministic governance layer for AI, enabling organizations to deploy AI workflows with confidence. Born out of Stanford University research, CTGT provides a control plane that enforces policy, prevents drift, and produces auditable decisions in real time. Their Policy Engine, when paired with GPT-120B OSS, has demonstrated superior performance and lower compute cost compared to frontier models like Gemini 3 Pro Preview and Claude 4.5 Opus/Sonnet on HaluEval benchmarks. CTGT's mission is to bring frontier AI intelligence into real-world environments, applying cutting-edge theory in production to make large language models more reliable, controllable, and performant, meeting the accountability standards required by the Fortune 500.
