SciPhi, a YC Startup, is Hiring a Founding AI Research Engineer

SciPhi, a Y Combinator-backed startup, is seeking a Founding AI Research Engineer to push breakthroughs in advanced search and retrieval with their R2R system. The ideal candidate will possess a PhD or equivalent experience and a passion for reasoning, retrieval, and experimentation. They will prototype a reasoning-driven system combining technologies like R1 and large language models (Claude/Gemini/4o) to interpret millions of documents, distilling successful methods onto smaller models for efficient deployment. This is a chance to build a truly 'thinking' retrieval system.
