About the role
- Our mission is to discover and commercialize transformative physics breakthroughs at scale with artificial superintelligence, safely, verifiably, and for broad public benefit.
- The last century's golden age of physics gave us transistors, lasers, and nuclear energy.
- We believe artificial superintelligence will unlock the next one.
Responsibilities
- Physics is the organization responsible for running frontier physics research programs and for the scientific assets the rest of the company depends on: verified problem sets, evaluation and verification support for AI training, and simulation integration.
- Lead the organization. Own the people, the execution of the physics research portfolio, and its delivery on the platform.
- Partner with Core AI on evaluation and verification for AI training, and with
- Own the pipeline from result to publication, including staged release and external expert verification where appropriate.
- Comfort operating alongside strong scientific leadership elsewhere in the company. This job attracts someone who wants to build and run the best physics organization in industry.
- Run physics research programs at scale. Own execution across the portfolio: staffing, pace, rigor, and the discipline to stop projects that are not converging.
- Partner with Core AI on evaluation and verification for AI training, and with Applied AI, feeding domain expertise into customer-facing work: validating models, challenging assumptions, and standing behind results.
Requirements
- Experience leading physicists: a physics research group, a lab team, or an industrial physics research organization, with evidence the group produced more and better science under you.
- You know the difference between a prototype and a system, and you hold a team to the latter.
- Comfort operating alongside strong scientific leadership elsewhere in the company.
Nice to have
- Experience running distributed or multi-team physics research programs (large collaborations, national lab programs, or comparable).
- Hands-on work with AI for science: benchmarks, verification systems, ML-accelerated simulation, or AI-driven discovery.
- Track record recruiting exceptional physicists, including from academia into industry.
- Experience with staged or embargoed release of high-stakes scientific results.
- We hold a high technical bar and give people full ownership of their work, from spec to ship to on-call.
- This is an in-person role based in Boston.
- We evaluate on scientific depth, leadership track record, rigor, and shipping velocity.
Compensation
- We offer competitive compensation including salary, benefits, and meaningful early-stage equity.
Company info
- We are an equal opportunity employer and value diverse perspectives in attacking hard problems in science.
- We are seeking a Head of Physics to lead the physicists who run our physics research programs and to scale AI-driven physics discovery beyond what any individual scientist can carry.
