Job Description
Our Mission
Reflection’s mission is to build open superintelligence and make it accessible to all.
We’re developing open weight models for individuals, agents, enterprises, and even nation states. Our team of AI researchers and company builders come from DeepMind, OpenAI, Google Brain, Meta, Character.AI, Anthropic and beyond.
AI policy is being written in real time. This is the most consequential technology policy moment in a generation — and Reflection AI is at the center of it.

  • Comfortable getting up to speed quickly on complex technical subject matter
  • Sharp written and verbal communicator — you can distill a complex AI policy issue into a two-minute pitch or a crisp one-pager
  • Exceptional judgement
  • Energized by a fast-moving startup environment where you're building the playbook, not inheriting one

Benefits

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance

  • Paid time off when you need it
