More about this role
At Autoscience Institute, we create AI systems that autonomously conduct AI research. Recently, we announced the first AI agent to autonomously create peer-reviewed literature (ICLR 2025 Workshops). We are passionate about pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence and contributing to groundbreaking advancements in the field.
This is a full time role for a Project Manager located in the San Francisco Bay Area, working on site.
With paying enterprise customers now on the platform, this role exists to keep our engineering and research teams shipping clean, reliable work on schedule. The person in this role needs to be technical enough to follow architecture discussions and design docs, but is focused on execution, not code. You'll be the person the team trusts to turn ambiguous priorities into a real plan and hold everyone accountable to it.
