We were founded in the US and have our home there, but our team is distributed across Europe and North America. We get our fix of in-person collaboration (and croissants) in Paris each month for 3 days, always Monday-Wednesday, with an open invitation to stay the whole week. We also do longer off-sites once a year.
Our team is a multidisciplinary blend of research, engineering, and business experts. What unites us is our deep care for what we build together. We’re in a race that requires hard work, intellectual curiosity, and obsession; to balance this intensity, we’ve assembled a team of low ego and kind-hearted individuals who have built the special culture Poolside has. By building collaboratively and with intention, we create a compounding effect that moves the entire company forward towards our mission: reaching AGI through intelligence systems built for software development.
You would be working as part of our Applied Research team, focused on turning pre-trained LLMs into well-aligned and highly capable AI systems for coding and software development. This is a hands-on role where you’ll work across a variety of efforts, including: Building data pipelines and environments for agentic use cases, researching and implementing post-training algorithms, designing experiments and testing hypothesis, and more. You will have access to thousands of GPUs in this team.
