Research Engineer, AIUC Labs

Sourced from feeny.ai

AIUC Labs is a newly founded research lab within the Artificial Intelligence Underwriting Company, building standards and insurance for frontier AI. As a Research Engineer, you will work directly with the founders to investigate open questions about AI capability and risk, design and run experiments, and publish research that guides the industry. The role blends frontier ML engineering with risk, evaluation, and security research.

• Own strategic research questions on AI capability and risk over the next 3-5 years
• Design, build, debug, and maintain research code and experiment pipelines
• Read and rapidly implement ML papers, adapting them to new research questions
• Turn ambiguous open-ended questions into tractable experiments with baselines
• Publish research and shape the public research programme, including podcast and writing

• Strong engineering skills with the ability to independently build and maintain research code
• Ability to read an ML paper and implement it quickly
• Strong background in ML, CS, or an adjacent quantitative field
• Comfort with fast iteration on ambiguous, open-ended research questions

• Experience at a frontier lab, third-party evaluation org, or ML team in science of evals, security research, forecasting, or interpretability
• Familiarity with the model training pipeline; trained, fine-tuned, or probed models
• Published work with real engagement (first-author paper, adopted benchmark, deployed system)
• Range across the philosopher-to-engineer spectrum
