About Basis
Basis is a pioneering nonprofit organization specializing in applied AI research, dedicated to two interrelated goals.
The primary objective is to comprehend and develop intelligence. This entails establishing the mathematical foundations of reasoning, learning, decision-making, understanding, and explanation; as well as creating software that embodies these principles.
The secondary goal is to enhance society's capacity to tackle complex challenges. This involves broadening the scale and complexity of the problems we can address today and, more importantly, accelerating our future problem-solving capabilities.
To realize these ambitions, we are constructing a new technological base inspired by human reasoning and fostering a collaborative organization that prioritizes human values.
About the Role
As a Research Engineer in Operations at Basis, you will be instrumental in developing internal tools, automation, and measurement systems that significantly enhance researcher productivity and operational efficiency. Your work will involve creating tools that eliminate hours of manual tasks, automating proposal and CRM workflows, and offering analytics to guide strategic decisions as Basis expands.
We seek individuals who are technically adept and possess a deep understanding of research workflows, enabling them to pinpoint high-impact automation opportunities. An ideal candidate has experience in converting research concepts into reliable code, building automation systems powered by LLMs, and designing user-friendly tools for researchers. Your contributions will range from researcher productivity enhancements to GTM automation and analytics infrastructure.
This position is vital to Basis's growth strategy, transforming operations from manual to automated processes that facilitate scalable growth with sustainable results.
We are looking for innovative thinkers who are technically accomplished and eager to explore foundational concepts. Our research engineers strive to develop high-quality, robust tools, unafraid to experiment, learn from mistakes, and explore unconventional ideas to achieve their goals.
Basis thrives on collaboration, both internally and with our partners; we seek individuals who are passionate about empowering others to achieve milestones they couldn't accomplish alone.
