Cybersecurity background a plus but not needed. - AI Researcher | $150k-$250k + equity: Own the research behind how our agents reason, plan, and chain exploits. LLM fine-tuning, RL, eval design, multi-agent systems. Security or red-teaming background a plus. Both roles include founding-level equity, 100% health coverage and unlimited PTO.
