• Drive Deep Research Capabilities: Develop agents capable of long-horizon reasoning and autonomous information synthesis to solve complex problems for national security and public policy.
• Publish and Contribute: Represent Scale in the broader research community by publishing high-impact papers and contributing to open-source breakthroughs.
• Consult as a Subject Matter Expert: Act as a technical authority for public sector leaders, advising on the theoretical limits and safety requirements of emerging AI.
• Build Evaluation Frontiers: Create new benchmarks and evaluation protocols that define what success looks like for high-stakes, non-commercial AI applications.

Ideally, you’d have:

• Advanced Degree: PhD or Master’s in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field with a focus on Deep Learning.
• Research Track Record: A portfolio of first-author publications at major conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, EMNLP, etc.).
• Engineering Rigour: Strong proficiency in Python, deep learning frameworks (PyTorch/JAX), with the ability to write production-ready code that scales.
• Safety Expertise: Experience in alignment, robustness, or interpretability research.

Nice to haves:

• Experience with large-scale distributed training on massive clusters.
• Experience in building agentic systems that are reliable.
• Experience in Sovereign AI or working with highly regulated data environments.
• A zero-to-one mindset: Comfortable navigating ambiguity and defining research directions from scratch.
