Job Description
Help us recreate any market
Every investment, launch and expansion is a bet on how people will behave, and the world spends over $150 billion a year researching those bets. All of that research will be done by agents, and whoever builds the system that runs it will be one of the defining companies of the AI era. We intend to be that company.
Our agents run the whole research process, from deciding who to ask to analysing the answers. Each conversation feeds simulations of entire markets, so decisions can be tested before they’re made.
To get there, we’re building a small team of exceptional people. We stay lean by design, so every person shapes what LATO becomes: a generational company, and the best work of your career.
What you’ll do
- use the latest methods from machine learning, statistics and the behavioural sciences to build, evaluate and improve simulations of people and markets
- build self-improving autoresearch agents that work as autonomous social science researchers
- fine-tune models, and design the RL environments, datasets and evals that train and test them
You might be a good fit if you have
- an advanced degree in computer science, mathematics, physics or a related discipline
- a track record of exceptional research
- strong quantitative skills, with experience building evals or running experiments
- strong programming and system design skills
