Researcher, Population Simulation
Aaru, NYC
The role
As a Researcher at Aaru, you will design, build, and improve the simulation systems that generate high-fidelity synthetic agents from real-world profiles. The Research team is responsible for Aaru's core simulation capabilities — the technology that enables our customers to test decisions against realistic populations before committing to them.
What you will do
- Design and advance methods for synthesizing realistic agents from structured and unstructured profile data
- Build and evaluate simulation pipelines that produce population-level distributional accuracy across demographic, attitudinal, and behavioral dimensions
- Develop techniques for grounding agent behavior in real-world data sources — surveys, behavioral traces, psychometric instruments, and domain-specific datasets
