What they're looking for

  • Are spiky in at least one domain and skillset, well-rounded in essential others, and have the self-awareness to know the difference

  • Understand and follow the AI industry and understand both the joys and the limitations of current-generation LLM models

More about this role

We’re building prod, not god. TypeSafe is an AI lab pushing frontier model intelligence in a new direction, starting with System One Models. We combine the reasoning of LLMs with the reliability of code, for truly trustworthy AI. Our first model, Jev, launched in September 2026.

While others chase leaderboards, we’re rebuilding the LLM stack from first principles to make models smarter and also dependable enough to run in production. We’re a small, fast team backed by an $870M Series A led by a16z. Made in SF, with love. Come join the frontier.
