AI Research Scientist

Company Description Noetive is a research lab building recursive self-improvement to develop intelligence for the physical economy.Role Description At Noetive, you'll push the frontier of what foundation models can do across language, vision, and world model development, designing and running experiments on pre and post-training, reasoning, agentic behavior, and evaluation, then translating those findings into capabilities that ship in real products. You'll work with a small, principal-level team that moves fast from hypothesis to result, own the full arc from literature review through ablations to writeup, and hold a high bar for rigor even under startup timelines. We're looking for a PhD or equivalent research track record, deep fluency in modern deep learning (PyTorch, distributed training, LLM fine-tuning and RL), a strong publication or open-source footprint, and the instinct to pick problems that matter rather than problems that are merely publishable.
