Applied Scientist at Deep-tech AI data platform

Are you tired of glorified word clouds and unreliable AI summaries? This well-funded deep-tech startup is looking for an Applied Scientist to build a statistically rigorous platform that turns messy human responses into trustworthy insights. You'll work at the frontier of statistical inference and LLMs, designing original algorithms that go far beyond off-the-shelf RAG tools. As an early hire, you will shape the methodology and culture of a company already serving major universities and private equity groups. If you want to solve hard problems involving AI reproducibility and auditability while moving from prototype to production, this is your chance to make a massive impact.

Overview

Role overview

You will bridge the gap between statistical inference and large language models to turn complex human language into reliable, quantifiable insights. Working directly with the CTO, you will design experiments and prototype algorithms that move beyond off-the-shelf tools to create a statistically rigorous foundation for analyzing large-scale audience data.
