Description

Gramian Consultancy is a boutique consultancy specializing in IT professional services and engineering talent solutions. With a strong background in software engineering and leadership, we help companies build high-performing teams by matching them with professionals who truly fit their needs. Role Overview We are seeking highly skilled and motivated Applied AI Research Scientists in Computer Science and Computer Engineering with an MS or Ph.D. in a relevant technical field. In this role, you will contribute to the design, validation, and execution of expert-level evaluation tasks that probe the limits of state-of-the-art AI systems. Your work will focus on creating headroom-level, rigorously verifiable questions across hardware, systems, and computing domains to assess and stress-test advanced multimodal and reasoning-capable AI models. This position requires deep domain expertise, strong analytical rigor, and the ability to translate complex technical concepts into precise, evaluable challenges that expose model limitations beyond surface-level reasoning. You will work closely with a collaborative, cross-functional team and are expected to be a reliable team player who is highly detail-oriented and committed to accuracy and quality. Duration: 3-6 months Commitment: 8 hours per day, with 6 hours of mandatory overlap with PST (12 PM–6 PM PST).
