Our collaboration process

• We post daily statuses for each other to keep in sync regarding our directions. Each project has a daily sync, and there's a weekly lab demo to show off our results.
• We propose new ideas or directions by writing up a doc, sharing it, and getting comments. This enables async communication.
• Our median response time to each other is in hours, not minutes; we work in an independent and self-directed fashion. Your supervisor helps you maintain direction; colleagues help with the implementation; you keep track of your tasks and milestones.

What you'll need

• 3+ years of experience hiring for AI/ML research positions
• Proven track record of successfully closing senior technical hires in research environments
