General Application

FUTURESEARCH builds AI that predicts the future. We are looking for people with a proven track record and a keen interest in AI to join our mission to radically scale and improve human understanding of the present and future, enabling better decision making during the arrival of transformative AI. We are an elite team of engineers and researchers at the frontier of AI epistemics. Some of our most consequential work comes from people who would call themselves neither. We have the best publicly available forecaster, with a public track record in forecasting tournaments at evals.futuresearch.ai and markets.futuresearch.ai . We publish papers , such as our ICLR Workshop paper in Jan 2026 , and benchmarks like Deep Research Bench and Bench to the Future . We work with frontier labs on research, evaluation, and training. The work here moves with the frontier itself, so the chance to do something remarkable comes around often. That also means you will regularly be handed things you have never done before. One of our research scientists made a game-changing improvement to our forecaster, and then created the marketing video to promote it. Our engineers design evals, our chief of staff builds internal automations with LLMs, and everyone runs our own forecaster on questions they actually care about. In a world where skills that used to take years to acquire now take weeks to pick up, we hire for what can't be taught. These are the characteristics you default to when nobody has told you what to do. We look for people who care deeply about the collective work of the company, who step up to fill in when the person who assigned the work is unreachable, who stay meticulous when things are frantic, and who bring a proposed solution to every problem they raise. If you tend to pick up whatever the problem in front of you requires, you're exactly who this posting is for. We hire on demonstrated work rather than titles. The strongest applications point at artifacts. That might be a forecasting bot or a track record of careful public predictions, a benchmark or a dataset, an analysis that changed a real decision, a program you designed and ran and can show the results of, or a tool other people still rely on. The one thing every role here shares is that it produces something you can point at, so if your strengths are more tailored to coordinating or representing deliverables rather than producing them, the work here will frustrate you. Whatever your background, you should be comfortable working with data and numbers, and eager to let AI take you past what your title says you can do. We read every application and route you to the interview process that fits your strengths. We are fully remote. SF and London are our primary in-person locations. We have flexible hours. FutureSearch is fully remote. SF, NYC, and London are our primary in-person locations, and we travel to meet 4-6 times a year. We have flexible hours, and operate in a high trust environment. Our salary range is $125,000 to $225,000, varying primarily by country. We offer higher-than-average equity. You should expect a total compensation package that is near the top for any seed-stage startup, with large room to grow. We offer full benefits, varying based on your country, including: healthcare, paternity/maternity leave, equipment, and travel expenses.
