Senior Research Scientist

AI Research Scientist | Agentic AI Startup | $30M Raised | SF or NY

What if AI didn't just write code...

What if it could build companies?

Ghost is partnering with a stealth AI startup backed by $30M from leading investors that's tackling one of the most ambitious problems in AI today.

They're not building another chatbot.

They're building AI systems that can:

\n
• Discover demand.
\n
• Acquire customers.
\n
• Deliver products.
\n
• Generate real revenue.
\n
• Learn from failure.
\n
• Repeat.
\n

Success isn't measured by benchmarks.

It's measured by whether the agent can survive in a real market.

Why this is different

Most AI labs optimise for models.

This team is building AI that creates businesses.

You'll define the research agenda across:

\n
• Agent reasoning & reliability
\n
• Post-training & continual learning
\n
• RL, preference optimisation & synthetic data
\n
• Market-based evaluation frameworks
\n
• Production agent systems
\n

You'll join a 10-person founding team, helping shape the technical direction from day one.

You'll love this if...

\n
• You enjoy first-principles thinking.
\n
• You want your research deployed into production—not left in papers.
\n
• You want founding-level ownership on a genuinely new research problem.
\n
• You believe the next frontier for AI is economic agency, not bigger benchmarks.

If you're building the future of AI, why not build AI that builds companies?👻
