Fantastic place to work if you are keen on advancing fundamental physics research and solving interesting AI problems - Recensione dipendente - Member of Technical Staff Engineer presso FirstPrinciples

Its a small team where everyone actually contributes — no corporate nonsense or feeling like just another employee. Things move fast and the problems are genuinely interesting, so your definitely not going to be bored here. Leadership actually listens when you bring new ideas, while still keeping eyes on the big picture. Really solid people to work with — smart folks who actually care about what there building. Team is pretty diverse and spread across the world, no weird pressure or politics. They hire globally which brings in some really talented people.

Being a nonprofit means salaries are decent but your not gonna get startup equity or big tech money. They're very focused on physics so if you dont have a science background its gonna be tough to get into the technical roles — they really care about domain knowledge here.

- Moonshot to make a breakthrough in fundamental physics is ambitious but motivating - Startup-like engineering culture; Autonomy and speed without the pressures of having a consumer-facing product or revenue targets - Get to work on cutting-edge AI + Science research; have access to significant GPU compute; develop hands-on LLM development experience that is currently very scarce on the market - Collaboration and weekly with leading academics and researchers in AI and Physics - No pressure to publish like academia; No revenue or customer acquisition pressures like a traditional startup - Fully remote - Compensation is on par with for-profit product focussed tech companies

- none at the moment; team is growing rapidly, will have to see if the culture is maintained as the org scales up - no equity as it's a non profit, compensation is 100% cash
