About this role
The mission of Thinking Machines is to build AI that extends human will and judgment.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The role of post-training researchers sits at the core of our roadmap. This is the critical bridge between raw model intelligence and a system that is actually useful, safe, and collaborative for humans.
This role blends fundamental research and practical engineering, as we do not distinguish between the two roles internally. You will be expected to write high-performance code and read technical reports. It’s an excellent fit for someone who enjoys both deep theoretical exploration and hands-on experimentation, and who wants to shape the foundations of how AI learns.
Note: This is an "evergreen role" that we keep open on an on-going basis to express interest in this research area.…
