What we offer
Good Compensation
Our target salary range is $3,500 - $4,000 per month for a full-time position.
(01)
Flexible Schedule
Outside scheduled team meetings, teammates are free to work on their tasks independently. When to work is a personal choice. Just do not overwork – that is inefficient.
(02)
Autonomy
High autonomy is crucial for us – the small and agile team can achieve a breakthrough if its members are professional and independent. However, we promote helping each other. That is crucial too.
(03)
Low Bureaucracy
What we value most are performance and results, not a strict process following. However, metrics, processes, and documentation are important too. We just keep their priorities low.
(04)
How we are different
Not just an ML
(01)
People tend to think that AI is solely Machine Learning, like ChatGPT (or DALL-E 2, or Microsoft Bing, or ChatSonic). We are building our solution on an alternative architecture which incorporates ML as a part.
Going beyond
(02)
We put much effort into profound research and development of new underlying technologies rather than reusing existing ones. We like to explore unfairly neglected and non-conventional approaches to AI.
Safety and Alignment
(03)
We want to be responsible in our research and development. We don't turn our noses up at AI safety research and take the issue of alignment seriously.
