About the role

  • Research Engineers at Resolution are core members of our research teams, directly driving both research and the core infrastructure behind it.
  • We believe clean engineering on automation, experimentation, and infra is essential to ambitious research, and that excellence on this front requires active research participation.
  • We are hiring Research Engineers across several main focus areas.

Responsibilities

  • (Research automation track) Build agentic research infrastructure: experiment orchestration, hypothesis generation, automated analysis pipelines
  • build program-specific infrastructure
  • partner with researchers on engineering and implementation.
  • (Both) Maintain and extend distributed training, experiment, and evaluation infrastructure
  • (Both) Contribute to and maintain shared codebases across the org
  • (Research automation track) Build agentic research infrastructure: experiment orchestration, hypothesis generation, automated analysis pipelines; autoformalization tooling for the theory side; internal AI-powered tools for researchers
  • (Program-embedded track) Scale program experiments to frontier-tier models; build program-specific infrastructure; partner with researchers on engineering and implementation.
  • Are willing to use AI tools aggressively in your own workflow, with appropriate care to not get fooled!

Requirements

  • Have deep experience with ML frameworks (PyTorch or Jax) and distributed-training stacks
  • Have a demonstrated ability to ship complex systems end-to-end
  • Have a Bachelor's degree or equivalent in CS, physics, math, ML, or related
  • Experience with autoformalization, Lean, or other proof-assistant tooling
  • Experience scaling ML systems to 100B+ parameter scale
  • Experience with CUDA kernel development or GPU optimization
  • Familiarity with alignment research

Compensation

  • Your salary depends on the scope, autonomy, and impact we expect you to have while working at Resolution.
  • The expected range of salaries for this role is:
  • L3 (SWE I): $141,000 remote; $236,000 in-person
  • L4 (SWE II): $208,000 remote; $346,000 in-person
  • L5 (Senior SWE): $270,000 remote; $451,000 in-person
  • L6 (Staff SWE): $402,000 remote; $670,000 in-person
  • An unconditional 401(k) contribution equal to 4% of your salary.

Benefits

  • 5 weeks of paid vacation per year, in addition to public holidays.
  • Comprehensive healthcare insurance (medical, dental, vision).
  • Unlimited sick leave to prioritize your well-being.
  • Minimum education: A bachelor's degree in a field relevant to the role, or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or professional experience that demonstrates comparable knowledge.
  • We expect the boundaries between these areas to be flexible, but please indicate which mode you're more interested in (or "either") in your application.

Company info

  • Resolution does research on how to align artificial superintelligence (ASI).
  • ASI may be developed in the next few years, but it is unclear whether alignment is on track to be ready in the same timeframe.
  • We aim at higher a priori confidence in aligned outcomes by pursuing a portfolio of theory and empirics bets, any one of which - if it succeeds - would meaningfully advance the field.
  • We invest heavily in research automation to accelerate progress, and we believe that stronger alignment theory unlocks higher automation: more principled approaches give us better filters for which directions of automated research are promising.
  • Resolution was founded in 2026 by researchers from UK AISI's Alignment Team, who ran the £30m Alignment Project https://alignmentproject.aisi.gov.uk/, and Timaeus https://timaeus.co/, who pioneered applying singular learning theory to alignment.
  • For more information, see our announcement https://sequent.org/launch.
  • Research Automation (primary focus).
  • A cross-cutting function that builds the infrastructure and tooling our researchers use to scale their work, increasingly leveraging fleets of AI research assistants alongside small teams of humans.
  • Program-embedded Research Engineering (also hiring).
  • Research engineers embedded within one of our research programs (scalable oversight, complexity theory, learning theory, personas, and possible future programs like heuristic arguments or game theory), partnering with researchers on scaling experiments, building program-specific infrastructure, and translating theoretical insights into empirical tools.
