About Archetype AI
Archetype AI is developing the world's first AI platform to bring AI into the real world. Formed by an exceptionally high-caliber team from Google, Archetype AI is building a foundation model for the physical world, a real-time multimodal LLM for real life, transforming real-world data into valuable insights and knowledge that people will be able to interact with naturally. It will help people in their real lives, not just online, because it understands the real-time physical environment and everything that happens in it.
Supported by deep tech venture funds in Silicon Valley, Archetype AI is currently pre-Series A, progressing rapidly to develop technology for their next stage. This presents a unique and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be part of an exciting AI team at the beginning of their journey, located in the heart of Silicon Valley.
Our team is headquartered in Palo Alto, California, with team members throughout the US and Europe.
We are actively growing, so if you are an exceptional candidate excited to work on the cutting edge of physical AI and don’t see a role that exactly fits you below you can contact us directly with your resume via jobs<at>archetypeai<dot>io.
About the Role
Archetype AI is seeking a hands-on Evaluation Lead to build and assess model performance for physical AI. You will design and implement advanced evaluation techniques for assessing the strengths and weaknesses of real-world AI models, and build and scale evaluation frameworks to rapidly test and generate reports on model performance. Responsibilities include partnering closely with research and engineering teams to develop evaluation methodologies, analytically assessing and improving test datasets, uncovering model weaknesses or risks, and tracking competitive industry benchmarks. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced AI environment and wants to directly influence our path as we scale our AI technologies and business.
