Requirements
- ML foundational competency: you have 2+ years working in ML and/or with LLMs. You are comfortable shipping some simple PRs and doing basic eval work yourself.
- Execution excellence. You take full ownership and get things done. You have a proven track record (6+ years) of launching new products that drive long-term customer love and business impact. You are comfortable across the full stack of product management - defining success, writing specs, talking to users, running analytics, prioritizing feature work, managing releases, etc. You have led a multi-functional team of engineers and designers and managed products across their full life cycle.
- Early-stage mindset. You thrive in the high-velocity, high ambiguity, "zero to one” early stages of product building. You're willing to do the unglamorous work early on, then systematize what works. You have hands-on experience at early-stage, fast-growing startups, working directly with design and engineering teams.
- Customer obsession. You're genuinely excited about working with researchers and have an instinct for uncovering their deepest needs and pain points.
- First-principles thinking. There are no experts on AI research assistants yet - you should be excited about pioneering this space: deeply understanding AI’s potential while uncovering what is holding research back.
- Humility & truth-seeking. Our mission is to scale up high-quality reasoning. We care a lot about rigorous thinking and communication, without ego and always seeking the truth. We want someone who is very iterative and highly-receptive to feedback; someone that knows their strengths and how to leverage them, and also their development areas.
