Forward Deployed Research Scientist

• Engage directly with frontier lab research teams. You will be in the room during client scoping meetings — not as support staff, but as a technical peer. You'll engage on methodology, challenge assumptions about data requirements, and shape project specifications based on a scientific understanding of how data composition affects model outcomes.

Develop deep scientific understanding of client engagements. For each project, you will build a working model of the client's architecture, training methodology, and target capabilities. You'll use this understanding to reason about why a particular data strategy will or won't work, identify risks early, and iterate with empirical grounding — not intuition.

Run ablation studies and fine-tune open-weight models. You will fine-tune models on client data (and proxy data) to empirically measure the impact of our data on model performance. This is how we validate that what we deliver actually improves our customers' models — and how we catch problems before the client does.
