About the job
As a Data Scientist at Surge, you will partner directly with leading AI labs to shape how their models are trained, evaluated, and improved. You will 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, 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.
Responsibilities
- 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
- Analyze data and iterate on collection methods to improve model performance
- Translate complex model behavior into clear insights
- Ask good questions and earn trust in a room full of experts
Requirements
- Passion for Data Analysis
- Curiosity about LLMs, including conceptual understanding of fine-tuning, RLHF, evaluation, and model behavior
- Enjoyment of customer collaboration with AI researchers and technical customers
- Proficiency in Python for data analysis, pipeline building, and workflow prototyping
