About Thinking Machines

The mission of Thinking Machines is to build AI that extends human will and judgment. We are training frontier models with Inkling, developing Tinker to let people make models their own, and crafting interfaces that broaden human-AI communication. We believe the future worth building is human, and we're hiring people who want to build it.

About the Role

We're looking for an experienced policy leader to build and lead Thinking Machines' product policy function.

Product policy shapes the rules that govern how Thinking Machines' products and models are built, released, and used: usage policies, content and safety policies, model release and access policies, and developer-facing policies for platforms like Tinker. You'll set policy positions on product-level questions, build the review processes and frameworks that operationalize them, and partner directly with Research, Product, Trust & Safety, Communications, Public Policy and Legal so that policy is built into decisions from the start, not bolted on after launch.

This is a build role that will take ownership of it end-to-end: hiring and developing a team, and establishing the policies, review processes, and cross-functional muscle that let the company launch new capabilities responsibly and quickly.
