Pegasi is on a mission to unlock high-stakes AI for scalable impact. We're well-funded by top VCs in San Francisco and working with top Fortune 500s. We're working on novel models, new methods, and pushing cutting-edge research to production around AI reliability and safety.

Founder is a former Data Scientist at BCG building Conversational AI solutions for F500s and saw firsthand the challenges deploying LLMs. He holds his first degree, an MSc from Oxford and attended Harvard as a postgrad doing AI research at MGH.

Who you are:

  • You have hands-on production experience working with Knowledge Graphs, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), and Reinforcement Learning (DQNs)
  • Experience with evaluations and running hypothesis-driven experiments to benchmark the performance of LLM and RAG systems
  • Publication record in ML conferences (ICML, NeurIPS, ICLR, CVPR) is a plus

What We Offer:

  • Competitive compensation package (salary, equity, benefits) reflective of a founding member's contribution
  • Unlimited growth opportunities to learn and grow into your own role, working on some of the most technically challenging problems of Generative AI
  • A driver's seat to building with a world-class startup founder backed by top VCs
  • Tuition reimbursement towards AI courses

Our startup recruits, employs, trains, compensates and promotes regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, disability, age, veteran status, and other protected statuses as required by applicable law.

Our dedication to promoting diversity, multiculturalism, equity and inclusion is more than a commitment - it is the foundation of what we do. And thus we strongly encourage people from ALL backgrounds to apply for this position.
