Job Description:

At Distyl we’re pushing the envelope of AI utilization in enterprise. This requires creative researchers who don’t just want to drive incremental improvements on benchmarks or optimize an existing process but instead are looking to creatively redefine how software is used. Our researchers come from many academic backgrounds but have strong research track records, operate in an AI-native way, and would be bored staying on the rails of a traditional research org.

Job Responsibility:

  • Identify entirely new classes of AI systems
  • Explore a wide range of architectures, modalities, and compositions to uncover how AI can most effectively reshape work
  • Draw connections across disparate domains to uncover new system archetypes
  • Experiment with unconventional problem definitions and develop prototypes that reveal new categories of human–AI collaboration

Requirements:

  • Experience building a wide breadth of systems (retrieval pipelines, reasoning agents, evaluation harnesses, multimodal integrations, workflow graph systems)
  • Experience building with models, not just building models (expertise in compound AI systems, agentic collaboration, and associated techniques like ensembling, ReAct, graph-of-thoughts)
  • Proven track record of research results (published in top journals, posted work online)
  • Uses AI every day (tools like ChatGPT, Cursor, Perplexity to accelerate workflow)
  • Strong programming and data analysis skills
  • Biases towards showing vs telling
What we offer:
  • 100% covered medical, dental, and vision for employees and dependents
  • 401(k) with additional perks (e.g., commuter benefits, in‑office lunch)
  • Access to state‑of‑the‑art models, generous usage of modern AI tools, and real‑world business problems
  • Ownership of high‑impact projects across top enterprises
  • A mission‑driven, fast‑moving culture that prizes curiosity, pragmatism, and excellence
  • Meaningful equity
