What We're Looking For
METR hosts many research streams. Right now, we're primarily hiring for the Evaluation Execution Stream, which focuses on productionizing, improving, and executing our various evaluations. We streamline our processes and build common infrastructure to scale our ability to continually run our most up-to-date evaluations on the latest models. This stream is focused much more on research execution and software engineering skills (see descriptions below), as opposed to research science.
