More about this role
Aemon is building the first autonomous AI research engineer: 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.
You will join as a real member of the core technical team and work directly with the founders on the core systems behind Aemon.
The role begins with a 4-month paid work trial ($15000/month).
At Aemon, we work on deep, ambiguous, long-horizon problems. It takes time to understand the system, build taste for the research loop, take real ownership, and show how you think when the answer is not obvious. Four months gives us enough time to evaluate you holistically: your technical ability, judgment, speed, creativity, rigor, and ability to turn ambiguity into progress.
Just as importantly, it gives you enough time to evaluate us.
You should have the freedom to form a real view of the team, the problem, the culture, and whether Aemon is the place you want to bet on. We want people who choose us with conviction, not because of a rushed process.
