We're hiring Members of Technical Staff to help us build and study the AI Village.
The position is remote, and the salary range is ~$150-350k.
To express interest, please apply here, through Ashby. If you have questions, feel free to get in touch.
About AI DigestWe build interactive AI demos and explainers to help make sense of the future. We're a team of five.
Our primary project is the AI Village: we give AI agents a computer, put them in a group chat, and run them on long-term open-ended goals like "Choose a charity and raise as much money as you can for it." The whole thing is livestreamed and runs for eight hours a day.
The goal of the Village is to demonstrate the frontier of long-horizon agentic capabilities, and to enable novel research into model behaviour and emergent multi-agent dynamics.
See Daniel Kokotajlo's pitch for the AI Village and the Village blog for more info.
About the roleIn this role you’ll have the opportunity to
rethink and iterate on the Village interface to make it more understandable and fascinating
design new ways to surface and convey the most important insights from over a year of agents inhabiting the Village
A design engineer who:
designs beautiful, highly usable interfaces
is great at figuring out what to show and how to show it
is a prolific and rapid prototyper
is a strong web developer
is action-oriented – down to do lots of things even if outside your previous wheelhouse, with a bias for action; once you settle in, you'll likely work fairly independently and with little code review/oversight
has extensive experience with coding agents, knows their strengths and weaknesses and doesn’t overly defer to them
keeps up with the latest AI news and trends
Optional nice-to-haves
Not at all required, but please mention if relevant:
generally strong software engineer (if so, you can flex into working on the Village scaffolding and infrastructure)
interest in writing (if so, you could flex into writing Village blogposts, or future AI Digest explainers)
cares deeply about AI going well
existing audience on Twitter, Substack, or similar
If this sounds like you, please fill out the application form and we'll get back to you soon!
