About the role

Company Description: Noetive is a research lab building recursive self-improvement to develop intelligence for the physical economy.
Role Description: At Noetive, you'll push the frontier of what foundation models can do across language, vision, and world model development, designing and running experiments on pre and post-training, reasoning, agentic behavior, and evaluation, then translating those findings into capabilities that ship in real products. You'll work with a small, principal-level team that moves fast from hypothesis to result, own the full arc from literature review through ablations to writeup, and hold a high bar for rigor even under startup timelines. We're looking for a PhD or equivalent research track record, deep fluency in modern deep learning (PyTorch, distributed training, LLM fine-tuning and RL), a strong publication or open-source footprint, and the instinct to pick problems that matter rather than problems that are merely publishable.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
