Senior Research Scientist

We're Hiring: Senior Research Scientist | LLMs, Conversational AI & Applied Machine Learning

An exceptionally well-funded, high-growth AI unicorn is looking for a Senior Research Scientist to join its research team and help shape the next generation of intelligent AI systems.

Backed by some of the world's most prominent venture capital investors, this company is building sophisticated AI agents that are already transforming how major industries operate.

This is a rare opportunity for an accomplished researcher to move beyond purely academic research and own ambitious research initiatives, influence the technical roadmap, and see their work deployed into real-world AI products at scale.

What You'll Be Working On

• Leading cutting-edge research across large language models, conversational AI, machine learning, and AI safety.
• Developing novel ML approaches, predictive models, and advanced evaluation methodologies.
• Taking research from initial hypothesis and experimentation through to production deployment.
• Helping define the company's long-term research direction and technical strategy.
• Collaborating with exceptional researchers and engineers to solve complex, open-ended problems.

Who We're Looking For

• PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics, Theoretical Physics, or a closely related quantitative discipline.
• 5+ years of postdoctoral research experience in academia or industry.
• Strong academic research credentials, ideally with publications at leading conferences or journals.
• Exceptional mathematical foundations, statistical reasoning, and programming ability.
• Researchers who thrive on intellectual challenges and want greater ownership over the impact of their work.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Research ownership: Shape the research agenda rather than simply execute someone else's roadmap.
• Real-world impact: Work on AI systems already solving meaningful problems in production.
• Exceptional financial backing: Join a rapidly scaling AI unicorn with significant resources and long-term ambition.
• High-caliber environment: Work alongside ambitious researchers in a fast-moving, technically demanding organization.
• Career acceleration: An opportunity to influence both scientific direction and product development as the company continues to scale.
