AI Researcher

Sphinx AI is a company that builds frontier AI agents for data science, focusing on accelerating the discovery of value from data. They are seeking an AI Researcher to tackle challenges in representation and agentic learning, working closely with engineers to drive impactful innovations.

Responsibilities:

• Representation Learning: How can we convert data, from small arrays of floats to multi-terabyte tables in data lakes, into context that AI can ingest and understand
• Agentic Learning: How can we get agents to efficiently explore and exploit across various data modalities to find answers that maximize hard-to-define metrics (like the overall business value of a data insight)
• Developing benchmark-beating agents for data science using kernels as long-term memory
• Building methods for effective data sampling using LLMs
• Innovating on a dynamically evolving semantic ontology for enterprise data (think Palantir, but with zero onboarding)
