Founding Research Engineer

We’re looking for a founding Research Engineer to study how AI agents behave in production. You’ll join an early team, set the research agenda, and publish what we learn.

• Set Raindrop’s research agenda and run the experiments behind it.
• Design evaluations and metrics for problems where the ground truth is unclear.
• Publish findings as papers, blog posts, and talks.
• Prototype new methods, and bring the ones that work into the product when it makes sense.
• Help define what research looks like at Raindrop as the team and product grows.

• You make complex ideas clear through strong written and communication skills.
• Care about sharing your research through publications, open-source work, or public write-ups.
