Job Description

About Us

Auric AI builds AI-first products exclusively for defense and intelligence applications. We're a self-funded, research-driven company working on unprecedented technical challenges that compete with the best in the world. Small team (10-15 people), 3-4 year runway, zero commercial pressure and pure focus on technical excellence.


The Role

You'll architect and build novel AI/ML systems for multi-modal intelligence analysis at scale. This involves designing new approaches for:

  • Cross-modal data fusion and correlation across heterogeneous sources
  • Geospatial-temporal reasoning and pattern discovery
  • Query understanding and semantic search for specialized domains
  • Anomaly detection in sparse, adversarial environments
  • Real-time inference at scale with strict latency requirements


This is NOT:

  • Applying existing frameworks to new datasets
  • Fine-tuning foundation models
  • Standard RAG/retrieval systems
  • Incremental optimization work


This IS:

  • Designing novel architectures from first principles
  • Research that gets deployed to production within months
  • Direct user interaction with military/intelligence analysts
  • Building systems where failure has real-world consequences


What You Have


1. Exceptional First Principles Thinking

  • You decompose complex problems to fundamentals and build novel solutions from scratch
  • You do not respect arbitrary convention

2. Deep Algorithmic Foundations Beyond ML, you have mastery in:

  • Spatial algorithms: R-trees, k-d trees, geometric algorithms
  • Graph algorithms: temporal graphs, probabilistic graphical models
  • Temporal reasoning: causal inference, time-series analysis
  • Optimization: combinatorial optimization, approximate algorithms

3. Novel Architecture Design You've built systems that don't fit existing frameworks:

  • Published novel architectures or deployed unprecedented systems
  • Created domain-specific neural network components


What You Get


Technical Freedom:

  • No project managers, no arbitrary deadlines
  • You define what to build based on user needs
  • Full ownership: problem definition to deployment
  • Accept 70% failure rate in research

Environment:

  • Work with researchers from top institutions
  • Access to cutting-edge compute and specialized datasets
  • Direct access to end users for rapid iteration
  • Culture of intellectual honesty, zero politics
