Head of Artificial Intelligence
The ReWork Group partners with high-growth startups and forward-thinking companies, and they are seeking a Head of Artificial Intelligence. In this hands-on technical leadership role, you will own the AI research agenda, leading the design of foundation models and reinforcement learning systems to unlock new scientific knowledge and deliver real-world impact.
Responsibilities
Set and drive the AI research roadmap across foundation models, reinforcement learning, and agentic systems for physics discovery
Contribute directly to core research: architect models, design training schemes, and prototype new agent behaviors in close collaboration with physicists and engineers
Design training infrastructure and evaluation frameworks that enable AI systems to discover, test, and validate physics results at scale
Recruit, hire, and manage AI researchers and engineers, building a high-bar, collaborative research culture
Define processes for project selection, experimentation, code review, and cross-team collaboration with physics and platform groups
Serve as the internal thought leader on AI, guiding technical trade-offs, priorities, and long-term architecture decisions
Qualification
Required
Foundation model pretraining, RL (PPO/SAC-style methods, self-play, or similar), large-scale optimization, and distributed training across multi-GPU/multi-node systems (CUDA, NCCL, etc.)
Demonstrated ability managing and growing small, high-performing research or engineering teams
Ability to set research direction, decompose ambitious goals into executable projects, and maintain high technical and communication standards
Experience with scientific ML (physics-informed neural networks, neural PDE solvers, differentiable simulations, or surrogate modeling)
Prior work integrating models with large-scale simulations or complex simulators (science, robotics, games, or similar)
Familiarity with export-control, dual-use, or safety considerations around advanced AI systems
