Research Resident

San FranciscoResidencyUndisclosed

Join us in pushing the boundaries of what's possible with LLMs and browser-native AI. You'll work on cutting-edge problems in agent systems (memory, search, personalization), context handling, tool use, and evals, while collaborating directly with our engineering team to bring novel approaches to production.

Perks

  • Mentorship: Access to leading researchers and mentors from top-tier academic and frontier research labs.
  • Hacker House: Live and work in our central SF 3-story loft.
  • Impact: Work directly with founders to shape the product.

What You'll Build

  • Research papers, blog posts, and public artifacts aimed at top-tier venues (NeurIPS, ICLR, ACL, CHI).
  • Design and experiment with novel LLM architectures, memory mechanisms, or tool-use strategies.
  • Develop evaluation frameworks for agent capabilities across diverse browser tasks.

Requirements

  • Demonstrated research experience in LLMs, applied mathematics, and/or theoretical computer science.
  • Strong programming skills in Python and TypeScript.
  • A track record of AI/ML/NLP publications in top conferences or journals, or evidence of rigorous, independent research (awards, fellowships, or open-source contributions highly valued).

Sample Projects

  • Develop benchmark suites to evaluate workflow agents that integrate browser interaction with tool-calling capabilities.
  • Build efficient indexing and retrieval systems for websites, applications, and workflow memory.
  • Innovate methods for dynamic knowledge graph creation and updating for personalized user experiences.
  • Design generative user interfaces that push the boundaries of human-computer interaction.
