Company mission
To unlock human creativity and insight by developing general-purpose AI agents that can be safely deployed in the real world.
Role
Who you are
- You’re endlessly curious about people and enjoy supporting their journeys
- You're high agency, scrappy, and excited to take ownership over building the Generally Intelligent team
- A background in recruiting is not required and not expected—everything you need to know can be learned on the job
- You’re able to quickly get a sense of a person and their motivations
- You’re excited to be on Zoom calls with candidates at least 50% of the workday
- You’re excited to dive deeper into AI and synthesize technical concepts to a degree that you can explain them to a technical audience (e.g. explaining our roadmap, outlining current research projects, etc.)
- A background in psychology, personal coaching,or other high-interaction professions is a plus (though absolutely not required).
What the job involves
- One of your primary responsibilities will be to conduct initial chats with candidates, though these will be more career coaching sessions than typical recruiter screens. On these calls, you’ll get a sense of the candidate’s motivations, existing skillset, and personal/professional needs
- Supported by a recruiting coordinator, you will manage the end-to-end pipeline of candidates from application to closing the offer. This involves frequent touch points with candidates to support them throughout the process
- Supported by talent sourcers, you will be responsible for managing the top-of-funnel efforts, including overseeing outreach campaigns, filtering applicants, and working with agencies
Our take
While software with human-level intelligence has been dreamt about for decades, only recent advances in AI have convinced investors and researchers that general machine intelligence may be achievable. Generally Intelligent is a research lab attempting to help make that dream a reality, by researching the fundamentals of human intelligence that machines currently lack.
The research lab is focused primarily on self-supervised and generative video and audio models, and has already secured significant funding including from several luminaries in the field. Crucially, the lab sees itself as able to make significant progress in the field because its researchers don't have the pressure present in academia to be constantly publishing, so they can think about things more long term.
On that front, the startup is pushing forward by leveraging self-supervised learning models, now almost on par with supervised ones, taking a focused, engineering-driven approach to its research. With the current spotlight on AI and its future across industries, Generally Intelligent will likely see more attention in the coming years, as it moves to make general-purpose AI a reality.
