About Mirendil

Mirendil — a frontier lab building systems that excel at AI R&D. Backed by Kleiner Perkins.

About the role

Every member of technical staff at Mirendil pushes the frontier. Most do it through research and engineering. This role does it by building the company itself. You'll operate as a force multiplier for the founders, sitting at the center of a frontier AI lab, owning founder priorities, ways of working, early customers, and special projects. The scope shifts with the company's priorities; the job is always the highest-leverage unowned problem.

What they're looking for

  • A translator. Exceptional written and verbal communicator who can distill technical depth and ambiguity into crisp decisions and narratives for investors, partners, and customers
  • Structured and fast. You bring the analytical rigor of your technical training to messy, open-ended business problems: decomposing them, prioritizing ruthlessly, and executing fast
  • Extremely high energy and endurance. This is an intense, all-in role with long hours at a company moving at frontier-lab pace. You thrive on that, and you're at your best when the stakes and tempo are high
  • Bias toward action and low ego. You default to doing, you're relentlessly resourceful, and nothing is beneath you or above you
  • We offer a base salary of $200,000–$350,000 USD and a meaningful equity grant, depending on experience and background, along with competitive benefits

Your technical background is not a nice-to-have here. Our customers are researchers and engineers. Our product is frontier AI R&D itself. You'll speak fluently with ML researchers in the morning, translate that work into a compelling narrative for a design partner at noon, and improve our research organization's ways of working in the afternoon. You'll work directly with the CEO and co-founders on the highest-leverage problems in the company:...
