Data Scientist
About Us
Our mission is to raise AGI with the richness of human intelligence — curious, witty, imaginative, and full of unexpected brilliance.
Surge was founded by engineers and researchers who dreamed of building the next generation AI. We're building a platform that powers the most powerful models in the world in partnership with companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Google.
At Surge, we believe the path to AGI isn't just about scaling compute—it's about embracing the unlimited ceiling of human intelligence and creativity in the data that shapes these systems. Our platform combines elite human expertise with cutting-edge tools for scalable oversight, from building rich RL environments to conducting rigorous evaluations that go beyond benchmarks. We've run a profitable business from day one without raising venture funding.
The Role
As a Data Scientist, you’ll partner directly with leading AI labs to shape how their models are trained, evaluated, and improved. You’ll embed with research teams to understand their performance bottlenecks, design targeted data collection strategies, and analyze experimental results to drive model progress.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives on impact and iteration — someone who loves digging into ambiguous problems, rapidly prototyping data workflows, and turning messy real-world feedback into actionable insight. Your work will live at the heart of frontier AI development, influencing how the most advanced models learn and align with human values.
What We’re Looking for
- Passion for Data Analysis - Analyzing data and iterating on collection methods to improve model performance
- Interest in AI Research - Applied machine learning and desire to advance leading models
- Love of Collaboration - Excitement to work closely with AI researchers to push models forward
What You'll Do
- Design data collection workflows optimized for particular model needs
- Implement quality controls to reduce biases and ensure model safety
- Run experiments to make leading models more insightful, compelling, safe, and human aligned
How to Apply
To apply, please email [email protected] with a resume and 2-3 sentences describing your interest in Surge. We love personal projects and writings too!
