The opportunity

At Scale , our mission is to develop reliable AI systems for the world's most important decisions. Our products provide the high-quality data and full-stack technologies that power the world's leading models, and help enterprises and governments build, deploy, and oversee AI applications that deliver real impact.

What you'll do

  • Measure the dangerous capabilities of frontier models and conduct preparedness research

  • Research the science and creation of new benchmarks for frontier models

  • Develop new methods for training models to excel on extremely difficult: reasoning problems that require long chains of thought

  • Research reinforcement learning and post-training methods that improve model reliability on high-stakes tasks

  • Research scalable oversight protocols that enable humans to produce and: quality control reasoning chains beyond their native capabilities

  • Study the boundaries of model generalization and capabilities to inform data-driven advancements

What they're looking for

  • Research synthetic and hybrid data with humans in the loop to scale up high-quality data generation
  • Take models currently in production, identify areas for improvement, improve: them using retraining and hyperparameter searches, then deploy without regressing on core model characteristics
  • Create post-training or agentic solutions that integrate into our ability to: deliver applications for enterprise and public sector clients
  • Currently enrolled in a BS, MS or PhD program with a focus on Machine: Learning, Deep Learning, or Natural Language Processing, with a graduation date in Fall 2027 or Spring 2028
