What is an AI Researcher?

An AI Researcher works on the science behind machine learning systems — publishing papers, running experiments at scale, and pushing capability frontiers in areas like alignment, reasoning, multimodality, or efficient training. Unlike applied ML roles, researchers often have a PhD and contribute to the open literature; their day-to-day mixes literature reviews, experiment design, GPU-hours bookkeeping, and writing. Top-tier hires land at frontier labs (Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepMind, Meta FAIR) or at research-heavy startups working on a specific bet (Sakana, Reka, Cohere).
