Remote Conceptual Reasoning Researcher (Contract)

Trajectory Labs; Polska; Hybrid; PLN 434.000 - 814.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Trajectory Labs is hiring researchers to design evaluations of conceptual reasoning in AI safety — tackling hard, open-ended problems in AI governance, alignment, macrostrategy, and economics, each paired with a rubric to distinguish real reasoning from filler. You’ll work 20–40+ hours weekly, remotely or at Constellation in Berkeley.

As an early-stage startup, you should expect responsibilities to evolve quickly as priorities shift.

Qualifikationen

• Domain depth in AI risk, alignment, macrostrategy, economics, or governance.
• Articulable taste: explain why one argument is better and encode in rubrics.
• Calibration under pushback: revise judgments when challenged and defend them.
• Agent-native research: fluent with frontier models and agentic tools like Claude Code.

Aufgaben

• Find hard conceptual questions in AI safety — alignment, macrostrategy, economics, governance — where frontier models still reason badly.
• Turn each into an evaluation task: a well-posed problem and an opinionated rubric that rewards excellent reasoning.
• Run your tasks against frontier models and iterate until the scores separate strong answers from plausible-sounding weak ones.
• Give and take detailed QA — tasks ship after review, not on first draft.
