About the role

We are looking for people who bridge research excellence and engineering rigor.
This role is distinguished from Operations Research Engineers (who focus on internal tooling) by emphasis on advancing research methods for platform and commercial applications.
You will work on Core Tech Module Teams and contribute to research that defines Basis's technological foundation.

Build Basis core technology modules producing fundamental algorithmic components that provide reusable capabilities across multiple projects and applications.
Package research into production-ready code by translating experimental techniques into robust implementations with comprehensive documentation, tests, and examples that enable others to build on your work.
Contribute to Platform development by developing research-driven capabilities that enhance commercial offerings, integrating novel techniques into platform APIs and features.
Collaborate across research and engineering teams to ensure research advances integrate smoothly with platform infrastructure and that engineering constraints inform research directions.
Contribute to the culture and direction of Basis by modeling excellence at the intersection of research and engineering, rigorous thinking about foundations, and commitment to building tools that advance societal capability.

The second is to advance society's ability to solve intractable problems.
This means expanding the scale, complexity, and breadth of problems that we can solve today, and even more importantly, accelerating our ability to solve problems in the future.
Have demonstrated ability to conduct research that is of high quality.
