Senior Software Engineer

ABOUT ELICIT Elicit is an AI research assistant that uses language models to help researchers figure out what’s true and make better decisions, starting with common research tasks like literature review. What we're aiming for: 1. Elicit radically increases the amount of good reasoning in the world. - For experts, Elicit pushes the frontier forward. - For non-experts, Elicit makes good reasoning more affordable. People who don't have the tools, expertise, time, or mental energy to make well-reasoned decisions on their own can do so with Elicit. 2. Elicit is a scalable ML system based on human-understandable task decompositions, with supervision of process, not outcomes https://ought.org/updates/2022-04-06-process. This expands our collective understanding of safe AGI architectures.

We now have over 2 million users, and our subscription tiers from Plus to Enterprise are used daily by scientists and by teams at the top pharma and life sciences companies. We're moving from a tool people visit to an environment they live in, which means building agentic features, orchestrating LLMs over millions of papers, and keeping latency low without losing the rigor our users trust. We're looking to bring on another strong senior engineer to own hard problems across the stack, ship new functionality quickly, and help us scale the infrastructure behind it.
