AI Future Scientist

AI Future Scientist · Co-define the next frontier of AI with the founders

About Us

We are a fast-growing AI startup exploring the next frontier of artificial intelligence. Our founding team brings deep industry insight and interdisciplinary backgrounds, with a firm belief that AI will reshape the future.

We are not a traditional tech-driven team — and that's precisely why we deeply value and seek top academic talent who can think from first principles, break out of conventional technical frameworks, and co-define the future with us.

To systematically pursue this mission, we have formally established the "AI Frontier Exploration Group." This core unit is led directly by the founders, and its members are the PhD management trainees we are recruiting. Here, there are no rigid constraints — your role is to imagine, validate, and pioneer new AI directions from scratch, alongside the founders.

The Role

As an "AI Future Scientist," you are not merely a researcher or engineer — you will be the founder's "thought partner" and "co-explorer" on the AI frontier.

You will join the company's most critical unit as a founding member of the "AI Frontier Exploration Group." We believe breakthrough inspiration is not bound by location or fixed hours. We don't watch the 8-hour clock — we care about exceptional thinking and output. The only requirement: stay in tight intellectual sync and deep communication with the CEO and the group.

  • Rapidly conduct theoretical derivation, algorithm selection, and design for new directions identified by the group
  • Build research prototypes hands-on to validate the feasibility of ideas through experiments

Interdisciplinary Collision

  • Deeply integrate your domain expertise with the founders' industry insight within the group
  • Find breakthrough points where AI can empower other disciplines

Technology Strategy Output

  • Transform the exploration group's research into clear technical reports, patents, or academic papers

Stay Closely Connected

  • Maintain high-frequency, high-quality interaction with the CEO and group through regular video calls and async collaboration tools
  • Ensure intellectual alignment and rapid iteration of research directions

  • Publications at top conferences/journals (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR, ACL, etc.) preferred
  • Strong theoretical foundation and innovation mindset

Technical Skills

  • Proficient in Python with mastery of at least one major deep learning framework (PyTorch, TensorFlow, etc.)
  • Extensive experience in algorithm implementation and experimentation

Mindset

Nice to Have

  • Interdisciplinary research experience
  • Strong interest and ideas about technology commercialization
  • Notable contributions to open-source projects or achievements in Kaggle competitions

What We Offer

  • Ultimate autonomy and freedom: 100% trust and time sovereignty. Great work comes from freedom and responsibility
  • Unparalleled impact: As a founding member of the "AI Frontier Exploration Group," your work directly determines the company's future technical direction — you are not a cog, you are one of the blueprint's architects
  • Grow with the founders: Become the founder's close partner, deeply participate in top-level decisions in this exclusive group, gaining all-round growth and invaluable startup experience
  • World-class resources: Top-tier computing resources, support for attending premier international conferences and exchanging ideas with the brightest minds globally
