Location: San Francisco, CA or Fully Remote anywhere in the US
Ought is an applied research lab building Elicit, a GPT-3-based research assistant for questions about the future.
Today, researchers and policy analysts use Elicit to find relevant publications for a literature review, find datasets, or brainstorm research questions that are interesting to their audience. Researchers can define new tasks by showing Elicit just a few examples of the task being done. Elicit then scales those tasks to thousands of publications and datasets.
The Role and Your Impact:
- Build intuitive interfaces that let research analysts use language models as tools for thought
- Add ways for users to quickly provide feedback to the tool to create an interactive training loop
- Build support for teams and collaboration
- Connect Elicit with external data sources such as spreadsheets, site searches
What You May Bring:
- Strong CS fundamentals and software engineering background
- Experience building complex web apps from scratch in Javascript (React, Node, Typescript), HTML, and CSS
- Ability to quickly convert ideas into tests and prototypes
- Clear communication about engineering topics to a diverse audience
Bonus If You Have:
- Interest in language models (training, finetuning, evaluation) and natural language processing more generally
- A startup mindset. We expect to measure our impact in part by the people whose lives we improve through better reasoning and models of the future
- Experience with functional programming (e.g. SICP), programmable software (e.g., Emacs, Vim), or symbolic AI (e.g. PAIP)
