About the role
- WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS Foundation models are commoditizing.
- Defensibility comes from specialized models, proprietary training signals, and evaluation ownership.
- Every applied AI company we benchmark against like Decagon, Harvey, Sierra, Cursor has already moved.
Responsibilities
- Design and run research programs tied directly to the four above.
- Build evaluation frameworks that measure trajectory quality, not just final output, because most eval infrastructure measures end results and we care about the path.
- The systems you build are things no one else has built before, because no one else has the structural data position to build them.
Requirements
- You have spent real time thinking about how agents fail in practice, not just on benchmarks.
- You have built evaluation systems and know exactly where standard approaches break down.
- A PhD is not required.
- Strong research instincts and the ability to ship are.
- You have opinions and you share them.
- Over time: you are defining the research agenda for the most interesting applied AI problem in the enterprise.
- Small enough that you are one of a handful of people shaping what the Applied Research function looks like and what it prioritizes.
Company info
- Foundation models are commoditizing.
- The window to claim frontier applied AI for revenue is closing in the next few months.
- Rox is in market.
- We run agents against enterprise data at scale, every day.
- We see exactly where research meets production and where the data is dirty, state is changing, and being wrong costs (a lot of) money.
- The Applied Research team exists to close that gap permanently.
- Cost-efficient inference for Clever Columns.
- Distill a Rox-trained model from frontier teachers so per-account enrichment runs at 1/20th the cost without quality loss.
- Ships first.
- Doesn't require trajectory attribution.
- Signal classification across the public knowledge graph.
- A small, fast classifier that distinguishes genuine buying signals from noise across the news, jobs, and filings corpus we already ingest at scale.
