AI Researcher Job Description

At AGI Inc., we’re not just redefining AI‑human interaction—we’re creating a world where humans and AI amplify each other’s potential. Leveraging breakthrough agentic reasoning capabilities, we aim to bring genuinely useful AGI into everyday life. Backed by years of research, AGI Inc. is pioneering the large‑scale deployment of intelligent Consumer AI Agents that simplify, streamline, and elevate everyday experiences.

Our team comprises elite ex‑entrepreneurs, AI researchers, and product experts from Stanford, Berkeley, Nvidia, and DeepMind, supported by top investors in Silicon Valley. Our founder, Div Garg, is a Stanford AI PhD dropout and previously founded MultiOn, a leading AI Agent startup that introduced browser agents to the world, supported by General Catalyst, Forerunner, Samsung, and Amazon.

At AGI Inc., we believe in fusing human insight with cutting‑edge AI to craft experiences that are as intuitive as they are groundbreaking, paving the way toward everyday AGI. Our agentic products feel like a natural extension of who you are—an ever‑present partner for ideas, projects, and solutions.

About the Role

As an AI Researcher at AGI Inc., you’ll be at the forefront of developing novel algorithms and techniques for our browser‑based intelligent agents. You’ll bridge the gap between theoretical AI research and practical product applications, working on challenges that push the boundaries of what browser agents can accomplish. Your research will directly influence our product roadmap and contribute to the scientific community through publications and open‑source contributions. This role offers a unique opportunity to work in an environment that values both academic rigor and real‑world impact.

Key Responsibilities

Pioneer Novel Research: Lead research initiatives in areas such as reinforcement learning, multi‑agent systems, and natural language understanding to enhance our browser agents’ capabilities.

Translate Research to Products: Work closely with engineering and product teams to implement research findings into products that deliver tangible value to users.

Contribute to the Scientific Community: Publish high‑quality research papers at top AI conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL) and participate in the open‑source AI ecosystem.

Develop Technical Roadmaps: Help define our technical research strategy, identifying promising areas that align with our product vision.

Mentor and Collaborate: Work with and mentor other researchers and engineers, fostering a culture of scientific excellence and innovation.

Qualifications

Education: MS or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, AI, or a related technical field from a top university. Exceptional candidates with bachelor’s degrees and equivalent research experience will also be considered.

Research Experience: Demonstrated research experience in machine learning, NLP, reinforcement learning, or multimodal systems, evidenced by publications, open‑source contributions, or impactful projects.

Technical Skills: Strong programming skills in Python and experience with deep learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow). Familiarity with large language models, web technologies, and browser automation is a plus.

Problem‑Solving: Exceptional analytical thinking and creativity in approaching complex AI problems with novel solutions.

Communication: Ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly and collaborate effectively with cross‑functional teams.

Startup Mindset: Enthusiasm for fast‑paced environments, comfort with ambiguity, and a desire to build products that millions of people will use.

Why Join Us?

Dual Impact: Contribute to cutting‑edge AI research while seeing your work directly impact products used by real people.

Resources: Access to substantial compute resources, large datasets, and the latest AI technologies to support your research.

Autonomy: Freedom to pursue research directions aligned with our mission, with less bureaucracy than traditional research labs.

Equity: Competitive compensation package with significant equity, aligning your success with the company’s growth.

Community: Work alongside world‑class researchers, engineers, and designers who are passionate about advancing the field of AI.

How to Apply

We’d love to see what you’ve built. Please include your resume, links to your publications or GitHub repositories, and a brief research statement outlining your interests and how they align with our mission.
