About us

Articul8 was born from a simple belief: GenAI should work for the enterprise, not the other way around. Our platform combines domain-specific models, autonomous agentic reasoning through ModelMesh(TM), reliable model evaluation through LLM-IQ(TM), and multimodal understanding to serve regulated industries including energy, semiconductor, finance, aerospace, and supply chain. Trusted by Fortune 500 enterprises, we bring together research, engineering, product, and domain expertise to deliver AI that meets the accuracy, explainability, and auditability standards that high-stakes environments demand.

Job Description

Articul8 AI is seeking a Staff Applied AI Researcher to define how our platform reasons at runtime and how autonomous systems make trustworthy decisions in production. You will lead research across the core runtime intelligence capabilities behind ModelMesh(TM): task decomposition, agent coordination, model and tool routing, probabilistic decisioning, verification, observability-aware execution, and the evaluation methods that determine whether autonomous behavior is reliable enough for enterprise use.

Responsibilities

Set technical direction for agentic reasoning systems and runtime intelligence across ModelMesh™ — define the orchestration strategies, decision policies, verification approaches, and runtime quality standards that determine how massively parallel agent systems reason, coordinate, and self-correct in production

Architect the infrastructure for researcher augmentation at scale — design the agentic platforms and orchestration primitives that enable every researcher and engineer at Articul8 to deploy fleets of AI agents for experimentation, evaluation, and production integration — multiplying the depth, breadth, and velocity of the entire organization

Go deep: advance the science of autonomous reasoning — design, train, and refine the learned components behind runtime decisioning (routing models, verification models, confidence estimators, reward models, policy selectors), using massively parallel agent-driven experiment pipelines to explore architectural and algorithmic frontiers exhaustively

Go broad: unify perception, retrieval, reasoning, and action — build repeatable methodology for composing domain-specific models, data perception systems, knowledge graphs, retrieval layers, and external tools into coherent agentic workflows, delegating integration testing and cross-modal benchmarking to parallel agent systems so you can reason across the full stack simultaneously

Drive research on agent reliability for regulated environments — lead failure detection, self-checking, verification workflows, compounding error analysis, and auditable autonomous behavior research, using agent-orchestrated stress testing and red-teaming at scales that manual evaluation cannot reach

Define evaluation methodology for runtime intelligence — establish how task success, decision quality, robustness, traceability, and failure recovery are measured under realistic enterprise conditions, building agentic evaluation harnesses that run continuously and surface regressions before they reach customers

Influence platform-level architecture — shape decisions on model routing, tool use, observability, governance, access control, and interoperability with external agent ecosystems, ensuring the platform is designed for humans and agents to amplify each other

Mentor researchers across levels in the agentic paradigm — raise the bar on technical judgment, experimental rigor, and agent-augmented research practice; contribute to hiring researchers who are driven to maximize their human potential

Maintain hands-on research impact — sustain a meaningful personal research contribution through technical work, publications, patents, and externally visible output, modeling what it looks like to be a deeply technical leader who uses agentic systems to go deeper and faster than ever before

Required Qualifications

Education: PhD or MSc in Computer Science, Machine Learning, AI, Robotics, or a related field.
