Simular is hiring a Research Scientist

About the Role

Shape the next generation of intelligent agents by leading original research in core areas including planning, reinforcement learning, multimodal reasoning, and human-agent interaction. You will explore foundational challenges in agent grounding, reward modeling, and task evaluation, aiming to improve both the capabilities and reliability of AI systems.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead independent research initiatives that span conceptual design, data collection, model development, and rigorous benchmarking.
  • Develop novel methods in agent architectures, learning paradigms, and evaluation frameworks to push the boundaries of current AI systems.
  • Work closely with engineering teams to transition experimental models into scalable, real-world applications.
  • Validate advancements through systematic experimentation and comparison with state-of-the-art techniques.
  • Share discoveries through publications at premier conferences such as NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, and ACL, contributing to the global research dialogue.

What We’re Looking For

You have a PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related discipline, or equivalent research experience. You’ve led research projects from idea to publication and have a proven ability to execute complex technical work.

  • Deep knowledge in one or more areas: large language or vision models (pre-training, fine-tuning, post-training), reinforcement learning, LLM-based agents, computer vision, multimodal learning, or representation learning.
  • First-author publications at top-tier venues such as NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, or ACL.
  • Strong implementation skills using PyTorch, JAX, or similar frameworks.
  • Experience designing datasets, running large-scale experiments, and interpreting results to guide iterative improvement.
  • A drive to explore high-impact research with practical implications and a vision for transforming how AI agents operate in real environments.

About company
Simular

Simular AI delivers open-source, intelligent AI agents powered by leading research to automate computer tasks, streamline workflows, and enhance productivity. The company focuses on making AI agents that operate across browsers, computers, and smartphones with super-human performance in key benchmarks.

Founded on the belief that humans should not be bound to computers, Simular develops AI that works like a human—clicking, typing, and operating the GUI—while also using APIs, terminals, and writing code. Their agents run on secure, private cloud desktops, enabling 24/7 operation with transparency and user control.

Simular emphasizes open research and public development, consistently outperforming industry giants in benchmarks like OSWorld, WebVoyager, and AndroidWorld. Their work aims to make advanced AI agents immediately usable by anyone, not locked into closed platforms.
