Remote Artificial Intelligence Researcher – US Based – Shape the Future of AI

Join a world‑class research team that pushes the boundaries of machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision—all from the comfort of your home office. We offer a collaborative, publication‑driven environment where your ideas directly influence products used by millions worldwide.

About the Role

As a Remote Artificial Intelligence Researcher, you will design, implement, and evaluate novel algorithms that solve high‑impact problems across our product suite. You will work closely with engineers, product managers, and fellow scientists to translate cutting‑edge research into scalable solutions. The position is fully remote, with flexible hours that accommodate time‑zone differences across the United States.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct original research in deep learning, reinforcement learning, or generative models.
• Publish findings at top conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, ACL, etc.) and internal knowledge‑sharing sessions.
• Prototype models, run large‑scale experiments on GPU clusters, and iterate based on quantitative metrics.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to integrate research prototypes into production pipelines.
• Mentor junior researchers and contribute to the strategic research roadmap.

Requirements

Education & Experience

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

Technical Skills

• Expertise in Python, PyTorch/TensorFlow, and JAX.
• Deep understanding of transformer architectures, diffusion models, or reinforcement learning theory.
• Experience with distributed training on cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Proficiency in data‑centric AI: data augmentation, active learning, and synthetic data generation.

Soft Skills

• Excellent written and verbal communication for technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Proven ability to work autonomously in a distributed team setting.
• Passion for open‑source contributions and community engagement.

Salary Range

Estimated Annual Compensation: $130,000 – $190,000 USD/year (base salary plus performance‑based bonuses and equity). The final offer reflects experience, publication impact, and geographic cost‑of‑living adjustments.

Benefits & Perks

• Fully Remote Work: Choose your ideal workspace anywhere in the U.S.; we provide a $2,000 annual home‑office stipend.
• Health & Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and mental‑health coverage for you and dependents.
• Learning Budget: $5,000 per year for conferences, courses, certifications, and books.
• Research Freedom: Dedicated 20% “innovation time” to explore personal projects or collaborate with academia.
• Equity & Retirement: Competitive stock options and a 401(k) match up to 5%.
• Flexible Schedule: Core collaboration hours (11 am–3 pm ET) with complete autonomy outside that window.
• Inclusive Culture: Employee‑resource groups, bias‑training programs, and a commitment to diverse hiring.

Our Research Environment

We operate a state‑of‑the‑art compute cluster (over 2,000 GPUs) accessible via a secure VPN, enabling you to run massive experiments without hardware constraints. Our internal platform streamlines experiment tracking, model versioning, and reproducibility, so you can focus on science rather than infrastructure. Weekly research seminars, bi‑monthly hackathons, and an open‑door policy with senior leadership keep the ideas flowing and the impact measurable.

Why This Role Stands Out

Unlike many industry labs that prioritize short‑term product metrics, we allocate a significant portion of our budget to long‑horizon, high‑risk research. Your work can shape foundational AI technologies that later become industry standards. The remote‑first culture means you can live where you thrive—whether that’s a bustling city, a quiet suburb, or a mountain town—while still collaborating with the brightest minds in the field.

Next Steps

If you are driven by curiosity, thrive on publishing, and want your research to reach millions of users, we encourage you to prepare a concise research statement (max 500 words) and a CV highlighting your most impactful publications. Our hiring team reviews applications on a rolling basis and will reach out for a virtual conversation within two weeks of submission.
