- Run the loop from research experiments to production systems

- Build the research function: you're its first member and its leader

- Set the technical direction toward fully self-driving businesses

Who you are

- Deep hands-on experience with LLM agents, evals, or applied ML research

- You measure your work by what ships, not what publishes

- Comfortable being the entire research org on day one
