Principal Applied Scientist, Humorphic Labs
Core
Designing and evaluating agentic AI systems that act as proactive teammates to humans in live workflows, focusing on collaboration quality, trust, and adaptation.
Role type
Principal Applied Scientist (Agentic AI & Human-AI Collaboration)
Builds
Experimental stacks for agentic products, evaluation systems for human-AI interaction, and data collection pipelines for multimodal traces.
Domain
Artificial Intelligence, Agentic Systems, Human-AI Interaction, Multimodal Models
Deliverable
production ML models | product features | research
Required skills
End-to-end development of agentic AI and LLM applications, designing evaluation for non-benchmarked systems, writing production research code in Python, leading complex scientific work across engineering and product, making independent decisions in ambiguous technical environments
Preferred skills
Post-training methods (SFT, RL), multimodal models (language, speech, vision), real-time conversational systems, measuring collaboration quality/trust/adaptation, building agent systems with memory/tools/planning/recovery, founding scientific programs, scientific influence via publications/patents, mentoring senior teams, partnering with design/product/behavioral research
Technologies
Python, Large Language Models, Agentic AI, Multimodal Models, Speech Systems, Reinforcement Learning, Supervised Fine-Tuning
Responsibilities
Own scientific strategy for human-AI collaboration, convert interaction behaviors into falsifiable hypotheses, build evaluation systems for teammate behavior, design agent systems with memory and planning, design data collection for interaction traces, build experimental stack components, diagnose failures across data and orchestration, define requirements engineering needs, partner with product/engineering/design teams, run experiments and report results, set standards for reproducible experiments, mentor scientists and engineers, represent work in internal and external reviews
Seniority
Principal, hands-on IC with strategy & mentorship
