About the role

About Vmax

Vmax is an applied research lab developing AI capable of open-ended learning. We are building systems to exceed humans in all capacities by optimizing beyond the local maxima of learning from human expertise.

About the role

Vmax is always interested in exceptional people who can help us build AI systems capable of open-ended learning. This application is for candidates whose strongest contribution may not fit neatly into one of our current roles, but who have clear evidence of unusually strong ability, agency, and or ambition.
