Your impact at LILA

We’re building a talent-dense, high-agency research team to develop the next generation of learning systems and reasoning algorithms for agentic LLMs. Our work sits at the intersection of large language models, post-training, and scientific reasoning, with the goal of enabling systems that learn from experience, reason effectively, and improve through interaction.

Scientific domains present a distinct set of challenges that make this problem uniquely hard. Feedback is sparse and delayed — experiments take days or weeks, not milliseconds. Ground truth is expensive or contested. Distribution shift is structural, as instruments, techniques, and knowledge bases evolve continuously. The hypothesis space is vast and reward signal is thin. Existing benchmark do not capture these nuances. The goal is to build systems that can operate effectively in this scientific regime.

This role spans a few complementary directions. Candidates are expected to bring deep expertise in one (ore more) of the following areas. In the event of cross-track expertise, please select the one you align to the most. Our interview process will be catered to verifying the chosen expertise area.

Expertise Area 1 — Agentic system building

Focus: Build systems that autonomously propose, execute, and verify scientific hypotheses over long time horizons.

• Create and analyze long-running auto-research systems that propose and verify hypotheses
• Design planning frameworks for agentic systems operating over long, sparse feedback loops
• Design memory architectures that allow agents to build and retrieve structured knowledge over time
• Explore algorithms in recursive self-improvement, multi-agent coordination, and continual learning

Expertise Area 2: Distillation

Focus: Translate strong inference-time behaviors and reasoning traces into efficient, trainable models.

• Develop distillation strategies from large or ensemble models into deployable systems
• Research methods for self-improvement, including iterative self-distillation and critique loops
• Investigate how to preserve generalization and reduce catastrophic forgetting through the distillation process

Expertise Area 3 — Scalable experience generation

Focus: Develop inference-time algorithms and synthetic data pipelines that generate high-quality training signal for scientific reasoning.

• Design and benchmark inference-time search, sampling, and verification strategies
• Propose new techniques in synthetic environment creation and curriculum learning
• Develop synthetic data generation strategies that capture high-quality scientific reasoning for agentic model training

Your Impact at LILA

The AI Research team is tackling one of the most exciting, open problems in AI: training LLMs to run long-horizon scientific discovery tasks. Our approach spans the full post-training stack - from SFT to asynchronous RL on agentic harnesses - teaching models to plan, use tools, and learn from experience in domains where the ground truth isn't a preference label, but a scientific result.

We're rapidly growing our Research Engineering org and seeking talented engineers and ML practitioners across levels to design, build, and optimize systems to push this frontier: scaling post-training, sharpening reasoning, and unlocking compute-intensive agentic-harness training. This is a rare chance to join an early team with the autonomy, flexibility, and compute to tackle frontier science problems.

We operate with high agency, and a bias toward execution. Below are several focus areas within the team. We ask that candidates select the stream that best matches their experience and excitement.

Work Streams

Stream A: GPU Optimization & Training Performance

Maximize hardware utilization across 100B+ parameter asynchronous RL training runs. Responsibilities include profiling, performance optimization, custom kernel development, communication-computation overlap, and long-context throughput improvements. You set and maintain the performance baseline.

Stream B: Stack & Infrastructure

Own the post-training infrastructure end-to-end — supervised fine-tuning, asynchronous RL with tool integration, and data pipelines. Build modular, reproducible workflows with single-command execution. Manage upstream framework upgrades and deliver composable pipelines spanning Data, SFT, and RL stages. You work tightly with Research Scientists to develop and productionize novel algorithms to run at scale.

Stream C: Model Experimentation

Bring deep, hands-on experience training large language models. Lead experimentation on reasoning model development, including mixture-of-experts stabilization, curriculum design, and synthetic reasoning trace generation. You have a bias toward experimental design and tracking, and know how to prioritize runs that yield promising outcomes.

Stream D: Evaluations & Benchmarks

Design and build best-in-class scientific agentic benchmarks and harnesses, along with the dashboards and leaderboards that inform every training decision. You have experience working with well known public benchmarks and have spent time building bespoke agentic benchmarks and harnesses.

Stream E: Agentic Capabilities & Frontier Research

Train models capable of planning, exploration, and tool use over extended horizons. Advance the state of the art in RL at scale with tool-calling, subgoal decomposition, and shared memory/skills across trials to expand the frontier of scientific agent capabilities.

• Experience training MoE architectures

Location

San Francisco, CA or Cambridge, MA (Remote, Hybrid, and On-Site available depending on team needs).

Your Impact at LILA

We're building autonomous robotic systems that serve as the intelligent physical infrastructure of our Scientific Superintelligence Platform at Lila. To support our robotics research roadmap, we need to scale robot data collection to produce high-quality robot data, collected by humans, at scale, day after day while improving per-operator throughput, lowering churn, and keeping data quality consistent across every supervisor and shift

We're hiring an Operations Manager to own that scale-up end-to-end.

As Data Operations Manager, you'll own the day-to-day function that generates the training data powering Lila's robotic systems. That means managing the supervisors who run our data collection shifts, setting the conditions for consistent operator performance, and making sure every hour of work on the floor translates into high-quality, usable data for our research team.

This is a builder role. The team is early — a growing group of operators across two shifts — and the processes, metrics, and programs that will scale it are still being shaped. You'll design and own them. You'll report directly to the Robotics team and serve as the primary operational link between the floor and Robotics Research.

What You'll Be Building

• Run the operation: Own the day-to-day operation across all shifts. Set throughput targets, monitor adherence, debug when shifts under-deliver, and make weekly calls on staffing, scheduling, and task allocation
• Manage the team: You'll manage the supervisors who directly run our operators. Set clear goals, run a consistent performance loop, and grow the supervisory bench as shifts, and sites, expand
• Drive retention and engagement: Data collection is physical, repetitive, attention-heavy work. Design and continuously refine onboarding, training, performance incentives, recognition, and scheduling so operators stay engaged and the bar keeps rising. Approach this with a product mindset: hypothesize, ship, measure, iterate
• Own throughput and quality metrics. Set targets, build the dashboards, and run the review cadence that make performance visible across the team. Reduce reject rates, compress reset time, and increase usable hours per shift
• Plan capacity: Translate research priorities into concrete operational plans — operator allocation, supervisor coverage, equipment requirements, and risk. Forecast throughput, flag potential misses early, and re-plan as priorities evolve
• Scale the footprint: Partner with facilities, recruiting, and leadership to expand the operation across additional shifts and, in time, additional sites. Maintain an operational playbook that makes opening each new shift or site repeatable rather than bespoke
• Be the bridge to research: Meet with the research team to understand upcoming priorities: which tasks, which embodiments, what success looks like. Translate those needs into shift plans, and surface friction (poor reset ergonomics, ambiguous instructions, unreliable hardware) before it costs the team hours

What You’ll Need to Succeed

• 4+ years of operations or program management experience, including direct people management
• A track record of running shift-based, throughput-driven operations — ****warehousing, manufacturing, contact centers, data labeling, clinical ops, field operations or comparable
• Demonstrated success reducing churn or improving retention in a frontline workforce: We want to hear the specifics: the baseline, the intervention, and the outcome
• Comfort with metrics: You should be able to look at our shift summary, immediately spot what's interesting, and know what to ask for next
• Builder mindset: This is a function being built, not inherited. Some processes are still taking shape, and we are looking for the right person who sees that as an opportunity to grow and deliver
• Strong written communication — ****you will be the connection between the floor and research and engineering teams, and much of that work happens in documentation
• Willingness to be on-site and on-floor: This role depends on presence and proximity to the team

Bonus Points For

• Experience managing managers or building a supervisor layer from scratch
• Background in robotics, autonomous systems, or physical AI data collection
• Experience scaling a frontline team from under 20 to 100+
• Familiarity with workforce management software, shift-scheduling tooling, or QA workflow tools
• Background in industrial engineering, operations research, or a related quantitative field

About Pioneering Intelligence

Pioneering Intelligence builds on Flagship Pioneering's legacy of founding cutting-edge science and computational ventures, harnessing recent advances in AI, machine learning, and data to accelerate fundamental research and create a portfolio of AI-first companies. As part of Flagship's integrated model of science, entrepreneurship, and capital, it transforms breakthrough ideas into world-changing companies, elevating the AI advances happening across the ecosystem in human health, sustainability, and beyond.

The Role

The Pioneering Intelligence team at Flagship Pioneering builds the digital and AI foundation that accelerates the creation and growth of our companies. We are seeking a Vice President of Engineering to lead a medium sized team of Principal Software Engineers, each operating as the technical authority for their own product area.

This is a non-traditional engineering leadership role. Rather than managing a layered organization, you will build and support a team composed entirely of senior individual contributors operating as technical leads at the highest level. Each engineer owns end-to-end technical decisions, builds hands-on, and engages directly with scientific users. Your job is not to manage their work but to set the conditions in which exceptional engineers do their best work, remove obstacles, raise the collective bar, and translate technical strategy into organizational direction.

You remain technically active. You will contribute to architectural decisions, review complex system designs, and stay close enough to the work to lead credibly. You spend roughly 25% of your time in hands-on technical work. The rest is spent on strategy, people, and organizational leadership: building the team, aligning with product leadership, representing the function to senior stakeholders, and driving the conditions for fast, high-quality delivery across the portfolio.

The model is intentionally fluid. Principal Engineers on this team may move between pure IC work and the formal coordination of other resources as project needs evolve, including the management of fully embedded software engineering contractors. It is the VP who balances resources across all teams and projects, in close collaboration with product and strategy leads, ensuring the right people are working on the right things at the right time.

You will work in close partnership with product and strategy leads and alongside a team of peers who expect the same rigor and accountability from you that you expect from them.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and develop a team of approximately five Principal Software Engineers, each owning technical authority for their own product area
• Set technical strategy and architectural direction for the AI and digital platform, making or ratifying the most consequential build-vs-buy and system design decisions
• Stay technically active: contribute to architectural reviews, design complex systems, and maintain the credibility to lead a team of principal-level engineers
• Build and maintain the team itself: hire exceptional engineers, develop their careers, and create a culture where the floor is principal-level performance
• Represent engineering to product leadership, senior stakeholders, and across the Flagship ecosystem, translating technical direction into business impact
• Balance resources across all teams and projects in close collaboration with product and strategy leads, including decisions about when Principal Engineers take on formal coordination of embedded SWE contractors versus pure IC work
• Drive delivery across the portfolio by removing blockers, resolving cross-team dependencies, and ensuring the team ships with speed and quality
• Model and advance an AI-native engineering culture, including the use of tools like Claude Code as organizational force multipliers

Professional Experience and Qualifications

Experiences

• Has led a team of senior individual contributors or principal-level engineers, ideally in a lean, high-velocity organization where the team was small and the scope was large
• Has served as the technical authority on a complex, production-grade system, not as a manager who delegates the hard parts, but as an engineer who owned them
• Has built and scaled engineering organizations in ambiguous, fast-moving environments, ideally at a startup or within a high-autonomy team inside a larger organization
• Has worked closely with scientific or domain-expert users and understands how to build products that serve researchers, not just operators
• Has hired and developed principal or staff-level engineers, with a track record of raising the technical bar of a team over time

Skills

• Technically credible at the system design level: can evaluate architectural decisions, identify risk in complex designs, and contribute meaningfully to the hardest engineering conversations
• Leads through clarity: sets direction, makes decisions, and communicates tradeoffs without requiring repeated alignment
• Builds teams, not just products: knows how to hire exceptionally, develop senior talent, and create conditions where strong engineers stay and grow
• Fluent in AI-native ways of working and comfortable leading a team that uses tools like Claude Code as a core part of their engineering practice
• Writes with the same precision they expect from their engineers: strategy docs, architectural reviews, and hiring rubrics that don't require a follow-up meeting

Traits

• Strategic and hands-on at the same time: comfortable moving between organizational leadership and technical depth without losing credibility in either
• High standards without bureaucracy: holds the team to an exceptional bar without slowing them down with process for its own sake
• Founder-minded: attracted to ambiguity, motivated by impact, and able to build clarity from uncertainty rather than waiting for it to arrive
• Direct and decisive: makes calls with available information, owns the outcomes, and creates psychological safety for their team to do the same
• Multiplier, not bottleneck: earns trust by making the people around them better, not by centralizing decisions

Why Pioneering Intelligence?

• Lead a team of principal-level engineers where the work is genuinely hard and the people are genuinely exceptional
• Shape the technical strategy of an AI-native platform at the intersection of cutting-edge AI and life sciences
• Operate with the autonomy and organizational support to build the team and culture you believe in
• Work at the frontier of AI-augmented engineering, where the tools are state-of-the-art and the model of how software gets built is being reinvented
• Collaborate with visionary scientists, founders, and builders across Flagship's ecosystem
• Competitive compensation and benefits, including equity, commensurate with experience

About the Role

Flagship's GRC program has matured from build to operate. We have a functioning GRC system of record in Jira, active compliance tracks across HITRUST, NIST 800-171, ISO 27001, and SOC 2, and a TPRM workflow in production. What we need now is a hands-on practitioner who can execute against that infrastructure — someone who is as comfortable running a vendor risk assessment in Jira as they are prepping evidence packages for an audit. This is not a policy-writing or director-level role. It is a technical execution role for someone who gets things done.

What You'll Do

• Own day-to-day execution of the GRC system of record in Jira — maintaining control records, updating compliance status, logging implementation and auditor notes, and keeping the SOR current across all active frameworks
• Run TPRM assessments end-to-end: intake, questionnaire review, risk scoring, CISO decision documentation, and post-approval tracking
• Coordinate audit evidence collection and control testing activities across HITRUST, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and NIST 800-171 frameworks, working directly with the external audit firm
• Maintain the compliance calendar and drive sprint-by-sprint execution against framework deadlines
• Manage sub-processor and DPA tracking for portfolio company privacy programs, including gap identification and remediation follow-up
• Support DSR and privacy program operations, including data inventory maintenance and deletion workflow tracking
• Build and maintain GRC automation using AI tools (Claude, Jira automation, Zapier) to reduce manual burden on recurring compliance tasks
• Produce clear, accurate reporting on compliance posture for the CISO and cross-functional stakeholders

What We're Looking For

• 3–6 years of hands-on GRC experience, ideally in a fast-moving tech or life sciences environment
• Direct experience working in Jira as a compliance or GRC tool — not just a project management tool; you should understand issue types, custom fields, bulk operations, and reporting
• Working knowledge of at least two of: HITRUST CSF, ISO 27001, NIST 800-171/CMMC, SOC 2, HIPAA
• Experience running vendor risk assessments — intake to decision — not just filling out questionnaires
• Comfort with AI-assisted work: you should already be using tools like Claude or ChatGPT to accelerate your GRC work, not learning to do so for the first time
• Strong written communication — you'll be producing evidence narratives, audit responses, and control documentation that external auditors and regulators will read
• Ability to operate with high autonomy; the CISO will provide direction but not day-to-day supervision

Nice to Have

• CISA, CRISC, CISM, or equivalent certification
• Experience with privacy program operations (CCPA, GDPR, DSR workflows)
• Familiarity with Drata, Vanta, or similar compliance automation platforms
• Experience supporting a portfolio company or multi-entity compliance program

Why This Role

You'll own a real compliance program, not support someone else's. The CISO is your direct partner, not a distant approver. You'll use modern tools — Jira, Claude, Zapier — to do GRC work that most teams still do in spreadsheets. And you'll have visibility into a genuinely diverse security environment spanning drug discovery AI, clinical platforms, and life sciences infrastructure.

We are an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will be considered for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. 

We recognize that great candidates often bring unique strengths without fulfilling every qualification. If you have some of the experience listed above but not all, please apply anyway. We are dedicated to building diverse and inclusive teams and look forward to learning more about your background and interest in Flagship.
