We build reliable and general AI systems to power economically valuable automation. Our mission is to usher in a new era of Transformative Artificial Intelligence (TAI): technology with the power to drive a societal shift on the scale of the agricultural and industrial revolutions.While others chase benchmarks and academic puzzles, we've been quietly rethinking the LLM stack from first principles — building a new kind of general frontier model designed for real-world reliability, decision-making, and autonomy in production.We're a small, fast-moving team from OpenAI, Google Brain, and Meta/FAIR, backed by top-tier investors. Since mid-2024, we've been engineering the foundation for what comes after the current "state-of-the-art" — a model that actually gets things done.About the roleWe're looking for scrappy engineers who ship data-tooling interfaces fast. You will progress model intelligence through the interfaces, datasets, and evaluation tooling you build, combining product sense, data science, and engineering. You'll be part of the real "secret sauce" of TypeSafe: figuring out how our models can provide production-ready reliability in the real world.Our tech stack is primarily Python. We also use TypeScript, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS for frontend, with Kubernetes for orchestration. We empower developers to use any tooling they find helpful for getting their job done, including Claude Code and Cursor.What you'll doCreate high-leverage datasets, products, and user interfaces that unlock new capabilities and use cases on top of our modelBuild internal data-tooling and evaluation interfaces — fast — that make model development clearer (evaluation, debugging, data inspection)Develop and own evaluation frameworks to measure quality, reliability, and emergent characteristics across model iterationsRun rigorous analyses and experiments to understand how data, training choices, and targeted interventions impact model behaviorTurn raw model outputs and data into clear, inspectable UIs — owning a domain end-to-end, with craft and judgment over simple optimizationPartner closely with product managers and customers to translate real-world needs into concrete model and system improvementsContinuously iterate, learn, and co-discover new techniques for building exceptional, trustworthy AI productsWe are looking for people whoAre generalists (~2–7 yrs) with solid fundamentals, strong coding ability, and product intuitionMaintain high attention to detail and a strong bar for qualityEnjoy thinking beyond the code to how systems are used in the real worldAre scrappy and hacky, and thrive in ambiguous problem spaces — taking satisfaction in finding creative solutionsDon't trust LLMs blindly — they look at the reality of model generationsHave hands-on experience implementing LLMs and understand their capabilities and limitationsLife at TypeSafeWe're a small, flat, close-knit team dedicated to real-world impact preparing the world for Transformative AI.
