Careers
Help us build the parts of a mind.
Project Ancilla is run by a small team and a circle of partners and investors. If you want to own a real part of a genuinely different architecture — not a slice of a roadmap — we'd like to hear from you.
What it's like here.
Ground-floor architecture
Calliope is a prototype. The hardest design questions about the tiers and how they interact are still open.
Small team, real ownership
No layers between you and the work. People here own entire tiers, not tickets.
We test against the frontier
We benchmark against frontier models and are upfront, internally and externally, about where we're still behind.
Open roles.
Roles below are indicative while we finalize current openings. If one is close, reach out anyway.
Research Engineer — Specialist Inference
Research Engineer — Metacognitive Appraisal
ML Engineer — Articulatory Model
Infrastructure Engineer — Retrieval Substrate
Research Scientist — Evaluation & Benchmarking
Don't see the right fit but think you should be here anyway? Reach out directly.
Not sure where you'd fit?
We're small enough that roles flex around the right person. Tell us what you want to work on.
