The Forward-Deployed AI Research Engineer. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
This is our first internship role. You will join as a real member of the core technical team and work directly with the founders on the core systems behind Aemon. We designed this as a full four-month internship because we do not think a short work trial is enough for either side.
What they're looking for
- Long-horizon AI agents
- Post-training & RL
- Hypothesis generation and search
- Codebase understanding
- Experiment orchestration
- Benchmark and evaluation design
More about this role
Aemon is building the first autonomous AI research engineers: systems that can take a hard scientific or technical objective, understand the frontier, generate hypotheses, run experiments, evaluate evidence, and keep improving until they discover validated breakthroughs.
