THE MOST IMPORTANT UNSOLVED PROBLEM IN AI IS THE MOST POWERFUL OF ALL CAPABILITIES: ALIGNMENT.

Hi, I'm Emmett. You may know me as the founder of Twitch (YC S05), and as the (extremely) interim CEO of OpenAI.

I believe the question of how AI systems learn to understand themselves and others is one of the most consequential technical problems of our time. If we get it right, the agents we build today will become our friends and collaborators tomorrow. And the infrastructure required to train agents that are good at working in teams and societies will be extraordinarily valuable.

Softmax is building large-scale multi-agent, multi-policy environments that will benchmark AI agents – both our own and others – on their capacity for theory of mind, adaptive goal setting, and teamwork. We’re looking for the engineers who will make that possible.

The work is unusually hard. The problems are ambiguous and challenging. High autonomy, high expectations. You'll work directly with me and the rest of our small but mighty team.

If this sounds exciting, I’m looking forward to meeting you. E
