elicit - Model Behavior Engineer, Reasoning and Decision Making

• Some of the most valuable questions people face are also the hardest to answer well. Which research program should a team advance? What evidence would change its priorities? Which uncertainty is worth resolving before committing to a multi-year, $100 million dollar trial? • Today's models can contribute to these decisions, but they often miss a crucial consideration, make an assumption they should have checked, or reverse a recommendation too readily when presented with new information. Further, because they can perform increasing amounts of work autonomously, their process and reasoning is often poorly legible, so decision makers are wary to trust their outputs. Helping with these problems requires a deep understanding of model behaviors, what matters for different types of decisions, the environments and cultures in which decisions are made, and how to evaluate complex, multiplayer systems with many human and agent interactions. • In addition to working on important problems as part of a productive and positive team, we also offer great benefits (with some variation based on location): • Flexible work environment - work from our office in Oakland or remotely as long as you can travel to work in-person for retreats and coworking events https://www.notion.so/elicit-research/In-person-work-at-Elicit-How-we-combine-remote-flexibility-with-in-person-time-233cfae9876c80f8802ed08d4c2548a5?source=copy_link • Fully covered health, dental, vision, and life insurance for you, generous coverage for the rest of your family (FSA/HSA, too) • Flexible vacation policy, with a minimum recommendation of 20 days / year and plenty of company holidays • Every Elician receives a $200 monthly wellbeing stipend to spend on whatever supports your health and wellbeing. • 401K with a 6% employer match • A new Mac + $1,000 budget to set up your workstation or home office in your first year, then $500 every year thereafter • $1,000 quarterly AI Experimentation & Learning budget, so you can freely experiment with new AI tools to incorporate into your workflow, take courses, purchase educational resources, or attend AI-focused conferences and events • A team administrative assistant who can help you with personal and work tasks • You can find more reasons to work with us in this thread https://twitter.com/stuhlmueller/status/1694059800408269091! • For all roles at Elicit, we use a data-backed compensation framework to make sure our salaries are market-competitive, equitable, and simple.
