Human AI Collaborator

About the team
The Strategic Deployment team makes frontier models more capable, reliable, and aligned to transform high-impact domains. On one hand, this involves deploying models in real-world, high-stakes settings to drive AI-driven transformation and elicit insights-training data, evaluation methods, and techniques-to shape our frontier model development. On the other hand, we leverage these learning to build the science and engineering of impactful frontier model deployment.

Put differently, we want to understand: if AGI is viewed as AI being able to majorly transform our economy, how close are we to AGI? What's still missing? How do we bridge these gaps?

About the role
We are hiring a Human-AI Collaborator to develop a hands-on understanding of how people and AI can work together most effectively.

In this role, you will study real-world workflows, design new patterns of human-AI collaboration, and generate insights that inform how we build and deploy models. This role blends research, hands-on experimentation, and product thinking, and your findings will shape how models are deployed for real-world impact.

This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.

In this role, you will:

• Conduct field studies to observe and analyze human-AI collaboration.

• Design and prototype new methods for integrating AI into workflows

• Run quantitative analyses to evaluate interaction patterns and effectiveness.

• Translate research findings into recommendations for model development and deployment.

• Collaborate closely with researchers, engineers, and external partners.

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Have experience with field studies, productivity research, or real-world experimentation.

• Are comfortable navigating ambiguity to define the right problems to solve.

• Blend qualitative insight with quantitative rigor in your work.

• Have a background in business, economics, or computer science, with a focus on productivity, HCI, or applied research.

• Are excited about frontier AI, but focused on practical, high-impact applications.
