Job Title AI/ML Research Engineer Company Description Generalcatalyst.com - YC W26 startup building computer-use agents Job Description Join a high-signal team building the world’s fastest computer-use agents for enterprise workflows. You will transition rapidly from research to production, developing reasoning models and vision-language systems that automate complex manual tasks at 10x speed. This is a rare opportunity for an early‑career researcher to shape the core intelligence of a winning YC startup. Location San Francisco, USA Why this role is remarkable Ground‑floor opportunity at a Y Combinator W26 company with significant strategic backing and early enterprise traction. Direct impact on core technology, working closely with founders to define how agents reason, plan, and execute at scale. High‑velocity research environment that prioritizes shipping production‑quality systems over purely theoretical academic exercises. What you will do Design and implement novel agentic architectures for GUI automation using large reasoning models and chain‑of‑thought frameworks. Develop multi‑agent coordination strategies, managing complex context, memory, and resource utilization for autonomous task execution. Collaborate with engineering teams to deploy research prototypes into production environments for real‑world enterprise customer use cases. The ideal candidate Holds a PhD or Master’s in CS/AI from a top‑tier institution with a strong track record of research or high‑impact projects. Possesses deep technical expertise in PyTorch, agentic orchestration (LangChain/AutoGPT), and vision‑language models for screen understanding. Demonstrates the ability to move from research papers to working prototypes with the speed and rigor required in a fast‑paced startup. #J-18808-Ljbffr Jack & Jill/External ATS
