About the role

You'll help shape the reasoning methodology that underpins rigorous AI validation: investigating how models behave, where validation breaks down, and how claims about model behavior can be supported, challenged, or refined with evidence.
As one of the earliest team members, you'll operate with high ownership, contribute across disciplines, and help lay the foundations for a platform that AI vendors and healthcare institutions will rely on throughout the full product lifecycle.
You'll help shape the reasoning methodology that underpins rigorous AI validation:

Design and execute investigations into how models perform and fail across real-world scenarios.
Surface failure modes and produce evidence that supports, challenges, or refines claims about model performance and safety.
Develop the company's evidence methodology - defining how claims, arguments, and evidence should be structured for rigorous AI validation.
Write production-quality Python, build agentic workflows for evidence investigation, and prototype front-end features using AI tooling.

Degree in CS, mathematics, physics, engineering, or a related quantitative field - or equivalent demonstrated depth.
Comfort using AI tooling as a primary mode of working.
Demonstrated ability to operate as a founding team member - taking end-to-end ownership of features and contributing beyond a core technical domain.

3-5 years of professional ML experience, or a PhD in model evaluation, robustness, OOD detection, interpretability, or a related area.
Opportunity to shape the technical direction and culture of a founding team
Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.
