Preference Model is building the next generation of training data to power the future of AI. Backed by a16z and South Park Commons.
About the role
We're hiring our first Technical Program Manager, GTM. Frontier labs are deciding which RL environment partners to trust with their training runs, and the relationships we build with them now will shape much of where Preference Model goes next. Until now, those relationships have been run by our leadership alongside everything else. You'll be the first person whose full-time job is to own them. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 0 to 1 experience: You've built something from the ground up: at an early-stage startup, as a founder, or in VC
- A technical background: a computer science or closely related technical degree, or previous software engineering experience
- External customer-facing experience: for example as a forward deployed engineer, in customer success or operations, as a product manager, or in VC
- 2+ years of relevant experience
- Experience negotiating commercial terms: customer contracts, pricing, or investment deals
- Confidence with senior, technical stakeholders and the follow-through to keep many relationships moving at once. You can push back on unrealistic asks, deliver bad news early, and ensure nothing gets dropped
More about this role
Preference Model is a superintelligence data research company. We build RL environments for training capable, better-aligned superintelligences.
Almost every aspect of how a model behaves is shaped by the reward signals it's trained on. The biggest problem with AIs today is that they don't always do what we intend. Sometimes that's because they aren't capable enough, and sometimes it's because they aren't aligned. Both problems come down to the training objectives.
We're trying to address both of these issues in the most direct, highest leverage way available to us, which today means researching how to build RL environments better, not just for the AIs of today but for the AIs as they will be when they outsmart us.
Over the past year, we've built RL environments for several frontier labs, and we're backed by $16M in seed funding led by a16z. Our founding team has previous experience on Anthropic’s data team building data infrastructure, and datasets behind Claude.
