Applied AI Researcher – Build Reliable Agentic Systems

Bolter; United States; Remote; USD 120.000 - 180.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Bolter, an AI agent platform, is seeking an AI Researcher to design and run experiments, evaluate outcomes, and translate findings into product decisions. You’ll work with the GM and product engineer in a lean team, developing agents that are trustworthy and capable.

You’ll explore frontier topics like LLM agents, tool use, and reliability; produce actionable recommendations, prototype promising ideas, and shape the research roadmap as Bolter grows.

Qualifikationen

• A track record of applied AI/ML research - ideally in LLM application design, agentic systems, evals, or production AI reliability.
• Strong experimental design and analysis. You know how to test a hypothesis rigorously and read the result honestly.
• Strong engineering fundamentals - you can prototype your own experiments, not just direct others to run them.
• Deep familiarity with LLMs, tool use, context management, and the failure modes of agentic systems.
• Strong written communication. Research that isn’t understood and acted on doesn’t help.

Aufgaben

• Design and run experiments to test how Bolter’s agents behave - reliability, context retention, multi-step task completion, and where they fail.
• Build and own the evaluation layer. Design evals that measure whether agents actually do the work, not just whether they sound plausible.
• Research the frontier. Keep Bolter current on state of the art in LLM agents, tool use, and reliability and translate that into what we should build.
• Turn findings into decisions. You produce clear, actionable recommendations the engineering team can ship, not just papers.
• Prototype research into product. Take promising ideas from experiment to working prototype, and hand off what proves useful.
• Shape the research roadmap as Bolter grows.
