What We're Building
As Inflection embarks on a new stage of growth, we are focusing on collaborating with commercial partners to adapt and fine-tune our cutting-edge models for their unique business requirements. Our accomplishments in developing, aligning, and deploying state-of-the-art models in our high EQ consumer-facing chatbot, Pi, have established a strong foundation for success. Well-funded and equipped with ample H100 resources, we have built a robust infrastructure and efficient processes to support best-in-class finetuning. By joining our team, you'll have the opportunity to contribute your expertise while being part of a dynamic organization that values innovation and collaboration.
About Inflection
Inflection is a small, interdisciplinary AI studio. We have trained several state-of-the-art language models, including Inflection 1 and Inflection 2.5, and built a personal assistant named Pi. As a studio, we are currently focused on finetuning and deploying models for specific use cases for our commercial partners.
We believe that artificial intelligence represents the beginning of an era of exponential change. Our name Inflection embraces this moment of transformation, whilst our status as a public benefit corporation provides us with the legal mandate to prioritize the well-being and happiness of our partners, users, and wider stakeholders above all else.
About the Role
You will actively contribute to the development of AI models that are powering our innovative products. You will wear multiple hats and work on engineering, research, and everything in between. Your contributions will span model architectures, data curation, training and inference infrastructures, evaluation protocols, alignment and RLHF, and many other exciting topics at the cutting edge of AI. You will explore and exploit, creating new and perfecting existing methods.
You are expected to have a demonstrated track record of excellence in your field and the desire to learn and grow. While prior experience in large-scale AI is desirable, it’s not strictly required: many team members started out as physicists and mathematicians. You should be well familiar with the state of the art in AI, and passionate about conversational AI and its deployment. You are expected to have Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science or a related field, such as Engineering or Mathematics.
Employee Pay Disclosures

This estimate can vary based on the factors described above, so the actual starting annual base salary may be above or below this range.]
How We Work
We value excellence and ownership. Our organizational structure focuses on individual responsibilities rather than management hierarchies. Everyone is expected to lead by doing. We are big believers in the unreasonable effectiveness of highly talented Individual Contributors who are given all the resources, space and ownership to move fast and deliver outstanding results.
Teamwork and generosity are at our core. Our culture celebrates positive challenges, asking questions, learning and actively supporting one another. This mentality of shared respect and purposeful teamwork is key to our success. We equally value all technical and non-technical contributions.
Constructive disagreement is essential. We appreciate when team members challenge assumptions, put forward new ideas, or encourage us to move faster or slower. Openness, honesty and kindness make us great.
Feedback is our ground truth. We have a tight feedback loop between the user experience and our AI creation process. Quantitative and qualitative data drives our priorities. This goes for internal culture too. Everyone has ownership and visibility into key decisions and progress.
Writing creates accountability. Whether on internal communication tools or in team memos, we are strong communicators with a special focus on the written word.
We deeply value time to reset outside of work. We encourage one another to constantly take time to recharge and always focus on maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
Engineering at Inflection
We are a vertically integrated AI studio. This means that our entire technology stack – from large foundational model pre-training to the user interface – is built in-house, with each of the components co-optimized to deliver the best AI experiences. We have built one of the most advanced large language models in the world, based on multiple novel and proprietary innovations.
We believe in scale as the engine of progress in AI, and we are building one of the largest supercomputers in the world to develop and deploy the new generation of AIs.
We wear multiple hats and don’t distinguish between engineering and research. We continuously explore and exploit, creating new and perfecting existing techniques and solutions. User feedback is our North Star.
