Applied AI Scientist
Demandbase, San Francisco, California
The role
We're hiring a senior IC who pairs deep research training with the ability to ship. You'll work on hard reasoning, retrieval, and orchestration problems, and you'll take them all the way into the product. This is research-informed product work: novel thinking is expected, but prototypes are the start, not the deliverable. You'll be a peer to our senior technical leaders and a close partner to product and engineering.
What you will do
- Design grounding and context assembly: retrieval pipelines, context selection, query understanding.
- Improve orchestration and reasoning across multi-step workflows: tool use, routing, decomposition, evaluation.
