AE Studio was founded 10 years ago with the goal of helping corporate clients develop humanity-affirming, agency-promoting technology. We take the same client-centric approach to research, partnering with the world’s best external researchers to develop world-class results. They provide the vision and our researchers make their ideas a reality.
Our core alignment team is 25 researchers and growing. We hire from all backgrounds, whether you’re an independent researcher, an engineer, or an academic, AE is a place to make real impact on the single most important problem of our time. We research a diverse set of ambitious alignment directions that others neglect, including pretraining interventions for model safety, novel interpretability techniques, neuroscience-inspired approaches to alignment, and many others.
Our ideal candidate is a high-agency technical-generalist. Our researchers thrive working autonomously in fast-paced, high-stakes environments. We look for scientists that pair technical excellence with strong ownership of their work. Our researchers feel comfortable guiding the direction of the research alongside our collaborators.
