Simile, San Francisco
As a Member of Technical Staff (MTS) in Research, you will work across the stack to train, evaluate, deploy, and monitor our models of human behavior. At Simile, we maintain a tight research-to-product pipeline. This requires intense scientific rigor; we must be able to trust our experimental methods as they are integrated into production systems that our customers use for making real high-stakes decisions.
We are looking for researchers who find it gratifying to see their work pushed to its absolute limits. You will own the research cycle end-to-end: from designing the initial experiments and validating results to owning the "last-mile" work of deployment.
We prioritize thoughtful conversations and clear examples of past work. Our hiring journey is designed to help both sides align on fit, working style, and expectations.
Reapplication Policy: To ensure a fair and thorough evaluation for all applicants, Simile observes a 90-day waiting period before reconsidering candidates for the same role.
At Simile, we provide competitive compensation packages that include base salary, equity, and comprehensive benefits.
Pilots don't train with real passengers. Actors don't rehearse with real audiences. Yet, the most consequential decisions in society are often pushed straight to production.
Simile is changing that. We have built the first AI simulation of society, populated by generative agents based on real humans. Our research pioneered the field of AI-based simulation, proving it is possible to model human behavior with high accuracy. Today, we are developing a Foundation Model to predict human behavior in any situation, at any scale.
We have raised $300M in total funding, with a $2B post-money valuation in our latest round. Our investors include Greenoaks, Index Ventures, Hanabi, A*, Bain Capital Ventures, Factory, CVS Health Ventures, and Definition.
Equal Opportunity: Simile is an equal opportunity workplace. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds and identities, valuing an environment where everyone can contribute authentically.
Accommodations: If you require support or reasonable accommodations during the application process due to a disability, please let us know. We are happy to assist.
