Remote Artificial Intelligence Researcher – United States – Shape the Future of AI

Join a pioneering research team that turns cutting‑edge algorithms into real‑world impact. Work from anywhere in the United States while collaborating with world‑class scientists to push the boundaries of machine learning, natural language processing, and responsible AI.

About the Role

As a Remote Artificial Intelligence Researcher, you will design, prototype, and evaluate novel models that solve complex problems across industries such as healthcare, finance, and climate science. You will own the full research lifecycle—from literature review and hypothesis formulation to experimentation, publication, and deployment guidance. This position offers the autonomy to explore high‑risk, high‑reward ideas while benefiting from a supportive infrastructure of compute clusters, data pipelines, and cross‑functional engineering partners.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct original research in deep learning, reinforcement learning, or generative models.
• Publish findings at top‑tier conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, CVPR).
• Collaborate with product teams to translate prototypes into scalable services.
• Mentor junior researchers and contribute to internal knowledge‑sharing sessions.
• Stay current with emerging techniques and assess their applicability to ongoing projects.

Requirements

Education & Experience

• Ph.D. in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, or a related quantitative field (or equivalent research experience).
• 3+ years of post‑doctoral or industry research experience with a strong publication record.

Technical Skills

• Expertise in Python, PyTorch or TensorFlow, and distributed training frameworks (e.g., DeepSpeed, Megatron).
• Solid grounding in mathematics: linear algebra, probability, optimization, and information theory.
• Experience with large‑scale data processing (Spark, Ray, or custom pipelines).
• Familiarity with responsible AI practices: fairness, interpretability, and robustness testing.

Soft Skills

• Excellent written and verbal communication for technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Proven ability to work independently in a fully remote environment.
• Collaborative mindset with a track record of cross‑disciplinary projects.

Salary Range

$130,000 – $180,000 USD per year, commensurate with experience, publications, and specialized expertise. The package includes performance‑based bonuses and equity grants.

Benefits & Perks

Health & Wellness

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and dependents.
• Mental‑health stipend and access to virtual therapy platforms.

Professional Growth

• Annual conference travel budget (up to $5,000) for presenting or attending top venues.
• Dedicated research compute credits on major cloud providers.
• Tuition reimbursement for advanced courses or certifications.

Work‑Life Balance

• Flexible core‑hours schedule—choose the hours that maximize your productivity.
• Unlimited paid time off with a minimum‑vacation policy to encourage rest.
• Home‑office stipend ($1,500 annually) for ergonomic equipment and high‑speed internet.

Our Culture

We believe breakthrough research thrives on diversity of thought, background, and perspective. Our distributed team spans time zones, yet we stay tightly connected through weekly research syncs, virtual coffee chats, and an open‑source‑first philosophy. Transparency, intellectual honesty, and a commitment to ethical AI guide every decision we make.

How We Work

All collaboration happens asynchronously via GitHub, Notion, and Slack, supplemented by scheduled video deep‑dives for complex experiments. Code reviews, experiment tracking, and reproducible pipelines are standard practice, ensuring that every insight can be validated and built upon by any team member, anywhere.

Equal Opportunity Statement

We are an equal‑opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or veteran status.
