Jobs at Ai2

Design, build, and operate large-scale AI/HPC infrastructure spanning job scheduling (Beaker), runtimes, networking, and storage. Drive automation, performance optimization, root-cause analysis for distributed GPU workloads, mentor engineers, and collaborate with researchers to prioritize and deliver scalable orchestration and cluster health tooling.

Own product strategy and execution for Asta, an agentic scientific research platform, including engineering frameworks, data infrastructure, public APIs, benchmarks, and compliance. Translate researcher needs into requirements and roadmaps, drive adoption, coordinate engineering workstreams, and maintain the Semantic Scholar platform for millions of users. Partner across research, engineering, legal, and leadership while shaping product management practices.

Lead research and scientific development for fully open foundation models focused on scientific discovery. Build and train modern foundation models, develop training pipelines, curate high-quality data, and investigate agentic and multimodal training. Provide scientific leadership, lead small teams, oversee research software systems, publish and present peer-reviewed work, and build collaborations with academic, industry, government, and standards organizations.

Lead product design for AI-powered environmental conservation and Earth-observation products. Conduct user research, solve complex data-heavy interaction problems, and design interfaces involving maps, dashboards, model training, evaluation metrics, agents, and geospatial data. Own work end to end from problem framing through shipping and iteration, while building design systems and collaborating closely with product, engineering, ML research, and global users.

The Research Engineer will build AI tools for scientific discovery, developing ML and language models, and ensuring software engineering best practices in collaboration with an open-source community.

Lead end-to-end development and deployment of large open models (Olmo, Molmo), building and optimizing training/inference pipelines, dataset curation, and large-scale preprocessing; design, train, and evaluate multimodal and agentic systems; scope and run high-impact research projects; apply strong software engineering to bridge research to production and contribute to open-source releases.

The role involves developing AI-powered user interfaces and backend services, collaborating with teams, improving system reliability, and mentoring junior engineers.

The Research Scientist will develop core research problems in robotics, engage in simulations, lead projects, mentor interns, and collaborate widely.

The role involves developing and maintaining robotic control stacks, managing sim-to-real pipelines, and collaborating with researchers on robotic learning projects.

The Young Investigator in Robotics will focus on developing and applying AI methods in robotics, including manipulation, skill learning, and sim-to-real transfer while individually pursuing independent research.

The Research Scientist will develop AI systems with deep reasoning capabilities, contribute to open-source research, and mentor early-career researchers. Responsibilities include leading foundational research, authoring technical reports, collaborating with teams, and advancing agentic systems.

Own end-to-end biweekly multi-state US payroll and manage international payroll via EOR partners. Maintain integrations, automate processes, build AI-assisted payroll dashboards, perform reconciliations and tax filings, administer 401(k), maintain audit-ready SOPs, and partner with People Operations and Finance to resolve payroll issues and ensure compliance.

Collaborate with Ai2 researchers on language-model and NLP research, gain hands-on experience with Ai2's data and engineering infrastructure, co-author papers for top venues, and prepare for PhD studies. Work is research-focused with mentorship and no teaching/admin duties. On-site work in Seattle is expected.
