Member of Technical Staff, Engineering

• →Contribute to the design and coding of the AI Physicist, a closed-loop research engine, including the development of tools to support hypotheses generation, peer review, physics based simulations, validation against experimental data and self-revision, among other things. 
• →Write safe, testable code and set up automated unit tests to catch errors and apply lessons from recent research findings. 
• →Explore and integrate SOTA tools into existing platforms to enhance model capabilities. These tools can provide advanced analysis and insights, furthering the understanding of theoretical physics.
• →Add self-improvement features that pass automated checks before deployment.
• →Track runtime metrics and suggest optimizations that keep the project efficient and sustainable.
• →Develop custom tech solutions tailored to the specific needs of researchers. This may include developing algorithms, data analysis tools, or other software to accelerate research in specific areas of theoretical physics.
• →Apply knowledge of product development principles and practices to ensure that the tools developed are useful and effective for theoretical physicists worldwide.
• →Collaborate with stakeholders to define requirements, prioritize features, and ensure successful delivery.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
• Experience with common software architecture patterns and best practices.
• Proven experience with web development and API integrations is essential.
• Excellent programming skills are a must.
• Proficiency in gen AI tools and their applications (e.g., ChatGPT, AlphaCode, Claude) is necessary.
• Strong communication skills are crucial to articulate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
• Knowledge of theoretical physics or a strong interest in the field is a plus.
• Familiarity with cloud technologies and infrastructure is a plus.
• A passion for advancing knowledge and science advocacy is highly desirable.
