Tilde Research is a moonshot AI lab advancing mechanistic interpretability, new architectures, and pretraining science. We build foundational understanding of models to advance the frontier of intelligence.


About the role:

As a ML Researcher, you will develop innovative techniques to deeply understand how large AI models work—and use those insights to make them better.
