Job Description
AI Researcher
THINK DIFFERENT. BUILD THE FUTURE. 🚀
OUR MISSION
Build everyday AGI. Trustworthy, consumer-grade agents that redefine human–AI collaboration for millions. Software shouldn’t wait for commands; it should partner with you, amplifying what you can do every single day.
WHY AGI, INC.
We’re a stealth team of elite founders and AI researchers, with backgrounds spanning Stanford, OpenAI, and DeepMind. We’re industry leaders in mobile and computer-use agents, bringing these capabilities to consumer scale.
Grounded in years of agent research, our AI is designed with trustworthiness and reliability as core pillars, not afterthoughts.
We are supported by tier-1 investors who funded the first generation of AI giants; now they’re backing us to build the next: everyday AGI. (Watch the demo https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZydjdMeMh3x-QItUPQFbJUbhBW-4-XHa/view?usp=sharing)

ABOUT THE ROLE
You'll be at the forefront of developing novel AI algorithms and techniques for action-taking intelligent agents. You'll be turning bold hypotheses into production-grade capabilities and pushing the boundaries of what current agents can accomplish.
EXPECT TO:
- Push frontiers. Prototype new architectures in reasoning, long-horizon planning, memory, multi-agent coordination, and alignment.
- Ship, don’t shelve. Run live A/Bs on billions of real trajectories and see your ideas land in production within weeks.
- Bridge theory and delight. Pair with product engineers to fuse novel algorithms with delightful consumer experiences.
- Define the bar. Establish our research rigor, safety metrics, and evaluation pipelines for everything that calls itself “agentic.”
- Mentor and magnify. Level up interns, residents, and mixed-discipline hackers, multiplying the impact of the entire team.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Create novel methods. RLHF, scalable supervision, tool-use planning, state-space memory, whatever unlocks new agent skills.
- Scale experiments fast. Design datasets, train across thousands of GPUs, analyze results, iterate.
- Own evals. Build automatic, adversarial, and human-in-the-loop benchmarks that predict real-world reliability.
- Publish with purpose. Contribute to NeurIPS/ICML/ICLR/ACL when it moves the field, and our product, forward.
- Harden for safety. Develop guardrails and interpretability tools so users can trust what the agent does next.
YOU BRING
- PhD or equivalent track record in ML / NLP / RL / systems, with 3+ strong papers or open-source impact.
- Mastery of PyTorch or JAX and large-scale training across distributed GPU clusters.
- Hacker mindset—equally happy debugging HTML selectors and re-deriving state-space math.
- Passion for shipping to real users, not just writing PDFs.
- Thrive in fast, in‑person startups; ready to build in SF.
OUR CULTURE
🏢 All in, in person. Work moves faster face-to-face.
🚀 Ship by default. Novel and polished can coexist, speed is the feature.
🤝 One band, one sound. Radical candor, zero politics, help each other win.
OUR PERKS
🏥 Competitive company-sponsored medical, dental, and vision insurance.
✈️ Top-tier relocation and immigration support.
