Descripción del empleo

You turn promising ideas into experiments other people can trust and extend, working in the space between scientific exploration and production engineering. Most research code answers a question once and is then unreadable; yours has to answer it in a way somebody else can check and build on. Formal research experience is welcome here, and serious independent or open-source work counts just as much.

The work:

Implement methods, reproduce papers, construct datasets and evaluation environments, and optimize experimental systems. Work with scientists to identify confounders and with product engineers to test transfer into real workflows. Document failures as carefully as successes.

What good looks like:

In your first 90 days, reproduce one important baseline and deliver a well-tested experiment or prototype that answers a specific question.

Evidence we look for:

Bring strong programming, quantitative reasoning and curiosity. Research experience is welcome, and equivalent evidence from serious independent or open-source work is equally useful.

Required:

• Strong programming, and quantitative reasoning you can show your working for
• Genuine curiosity, evidenced by something you built or investigated because you wanted to know
• You write experiments other people can run and extend
• You can judge whether a result is real before anybody else has to

Nice to have:

• Research experience, formal or otherwise
• Open-source work anyone can read
• Depth in an area adjacent to our questions

The exercise:

Reconstruct an experiment from incomplete notes and identify what must be clarified before its result can be believed.

How we work:

We work together in the office, five days a week, and you can be based at any of our garages: Kirkland Garage (Kirkland, WA); UAE Garage (Dubai, Dubai). We hire across the United States, India and the UAE. We are remote-friendly around family: if you need to work from home some days to look after the people you love, we arrange that with you one person at a time, and we encourage people to use it rather than tough it out.

Pay:

We publish what we pay. Indicative ranges by market and level are on our compensation page, and they are realistic going market rates rather than headline numbers. Wherever we hire we pay at least the local market rate, and for full-time roles our floor is a living wage, never the statutory minimum. Compensation is reviewed every year and on promotion.

Equity:

Every full-time teammate gets stock options. Four-year vesting with a one-year cliff, sized to role, level and impact, and confirmed in writing at offer. High performers earn refresh grants.

Bonus and commission:

An annual performance bonus tied to clear company and personal goals, indicatively 10 to 20 percent of base for non-sales roles. Customer-facing roles carry on-target earnings, typically a 50/50 split of base and variable, with uncapped commission and accelerators above quota.

Health and peace of mind:

Medical, dental and vision for you and your family, plus life and disability cover. We have chosen the highest plan tier available to us rather than the cheapest one that clears the bar, because the point of this is that you never have to think about it. The specific plan numbers are confirmed in your offer letter.

401(k) with company matching:

A 401(k) with a company match, so the years you spend here compound into something that is yours whatever happens next. The match formula is confirmed in your offer letter.

AI tokens:

A budget of AI tokens of your own, because a company that says you should own your AI cannot be the company that rations it. Use them on the work and on whatever you are curious about.

Gym, and the everyday things:

A gym membership, and a corporate benefits programme with its own app, where you redeem real discounts with a long list of retailers on the ordinary purchases of a life.

Family:

We are remote-friendly around your family, arranged one person at a time, and we would rather you took it than toughed it out.

Referrals:

Refer someone we hire full-time who stays a year and you get $1,000 plus $10,000 in referral stock-based equity, on top of your own package.
