Software Engineer, Simulated Universes

Our mission is to make first contact with superintelligence.

We are creating a superlearner that discovers all knowledge from its own experience, from elementary motor skills through to profound intellectual breakthroughs. This superlearning capability - the ability to endlessly discover knowledge and skills, without relying on human data - will be driven by the world’s most powerful reinforcement learning algorithms.

The superlearner is expected to rediscover and then transcend the greatest inventions in human history, such as language, science, mathematics and technology. If successful, this will represent a scientific breakthrough of comparable magnitude to Darwin: where his law explained all life, our law will explain and build all intelligence.

Role brief

Intelligence cannot emerge in a void. It needs a place to grow and flourish. As an Engineer for Simulated Universes, you’ll help us craft, shape and maintain the worlds in which superlearners can emerge and thrive. That means making those worlds accurate, reliable and intricate, and scaling them to unprecedented highs in terms of both parallelism and speed. It’s a challenging quest and one that’s critical to our mission. In this role, you will:

• Build the engineering foundations of our new environ
