    Kobold Metals 4.1company rating

    Remote senior scientist job

    About the company: The mining industry has steadily become worse at finding new ore deposits, requiring >10X more capital to make discoveries compared to 30 years ago. The easy-to-find, near-surface deposits have largely been found, and the industry has chronically under-invested in new exploration technology, relying on the manual techniques of yesteryear - even as demand accelerates for copper, lithium, and other metals to build electric vehicles, renewable energy, and data centers. KoBold builds AI models for mineral exploration and deploys those models-alongside our novel sensors-to guide decisions on KoBold-owned-and-operated exploration programs. In the six years since founding, KoBold has become by far both the largest independent mineral exploration company and the largest exploration technology developer. Our data scientists and software engineers, who come from leading technology companies, jointly lead exploration programs with our renowned exploration geologists. KoBold has proven its first discovery with materially less capital than the industry average and found one of the best copper deposits ever discovered: the copper is far more concentrated than the global average of copper mines, and this asset alone is expected to generate meaningful revenue for decades. KoBold has a portfolio of more than 60 other projects, each of which has the potential for another high-quality discovery. KoBold is privately held; investors include institutional asset managers T. Rowe Rice and Canada Pension Plan Investments; technology venture capitalists Andreessen Horowitz, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, BOND Capital, and Standard Investments; and natural resources companies Equinor, BHP, and Mitsubishi. About The Role: In this role, you will develop state of the art instruments to collect data to guide our exploration programs. You will simulate, characterize, and calibrate sensor performance and design new data acquisition systems. Working with vendors and partners, you will build hardware and work with our operations staff to deploy it in the field. With this sensor data and other data sources at KoBold, you will build models and apply a wide range of scientific computing, statistical, and physics-based methods to find places where there is evidence of ore-forming processes at work and to predict the locations of ore-grade mineralization in 2D and 3D. You will help build a worldwide dataset that underlies our exploration program, with careful attention to identifying and quantifying uncertainty in the data and in our predictions. You will be creating models and developing software to accelerate discovery of critical battery metals. You will join an outstanding team of data scientists and engineers and will work closely with KoBold's world-renowned geoscientists to incorporate our best understanding of the chemical and physical processes that create ore deposits. Working with your geoscience colleagues, you will identify new opportunities and technologies for geophysical data collection, create 2D and 3D geologic predictions, identify exploration targets, design field programs to collect data, and use that data to reduce the uncertainty in our predictions and guide the next phase of field work. Ultimately, your role is to help KoBold make valuable discoveries by building and deploying next generation hardware and using data tools to solve scientific problems. As one of the early members of this team, you will help build these tools from the ground up. Responsibilities of this position include: Technical execution Design, develop, and deploy new mineral exploration data collection instruments and methods. Help develop KoBold's proprietary software exploration tools. Find and curate a wide variety of geospectral, geophysical, geochemical, geologic, and geographic data and integrate it into KoBold's proprietary data system. Build models to make statistically valid predictions about the locations of compositional anomalies within the Earth's crust. Create effective visualizations for evaluating model performance and enabling rapid interaction with the underlying data and key features. Develop and apply a range of data processing, statistical, and physics-based techniques to geoscientific data - from computer vision to geophysical inversions - and use the results to guide our targeting efforts and inform our acquisition and exploration decisions. Present to and collaborate with our external partners and stakeholders. Push the state of the art in analysis capabilities by implementing statistically rigorous spatially aware clustering, anomaly detection, and other analysis methods Collaborate with data scientists, geoscientists and engineers to invent and deploy algorithms that combine large and complex data sets for mineral exploration and discoveries Qualifications Demonstrated ability to quickly absorb and synthesize complex information, with a track record of high intellectual rigor in a professional setting.

  • Staff Applied Machine Learning Scientist

    Medium 4.0company rating

    Remote senior scientist job

    Medium's mission is to deepen understanding of the world and spread ideas that matter. We are building the best place for reading and writing on the internet-a place where today's smartest writers, thinkers, experts, and storytellers can share big, interesting ideas; a place where ideas are judged on the value they provide to readers, not the fleeting attention they can attract for advertisers. Role Overview One of Medium's core operating principles is “humans first,” but sometimes to do that we need a little help from machine learning-which is why Medium is looking for an experienced Staff Applied ML Scientist to join our team. First and foremost, you'll own Medium's recommendation systems, which serves millions of readers every day by parsing through an ocean of posts and curating perfect literary pearls for each of them. Under the hood, it's a sophisticated and modern ML pipeline, fueled by a two-tower model and separate deep retrieval and ranking stages. Beyond recommendations, you'll also develop ML models to protect our readers from the burgeoning world of AI slop and spam, explore and evangelize new applications for machine learning across Medium's business, and leverage machine learning to ensure that Medium always puts humans first. Key Responsibilities You'll help us apply machine learning thoughtfully across Medium - starting with recommendations, but extending far beyond them. You'll look for places where ML can make the reading and writing experience more personal, relevant, and human. Experiment with ideas like smarter post discovery that helps writers find their natural audience. Explore opportunities for personalization, quality detection, topic modeling, or even AI-assisted editorial curation - all grounded in improving understanding, not chasing engagement for its own sake. Work closely with design, product, and engineering partners to translate ambiguous user needs into well-framed ML problems. Drive the research. Lead with curiosity and precision. You'll design and interpret experiments, bring statistical rigor to our experimentation, and keep a critical eye on things like bias and spurious correlation in our thinking. Bring organizational leverage. Work across teams to ensure that ML improvements are well-integrated into the product, not off to the side. You'll regularly influence decision-making through cross-functional collaboration, helping product and engineering leaders spot where ML can create leverage and where it shouldn't. Own and continuously improve our recommendation systems. Evolve our two-tower retrieval and ranking stack, refine our feature set, and push on model quality, latency, and interpretability. Find new and innovative ways to use ML techniques to better serve our community of readers and writers. This might mean smarter spam and slop detection, writer quality modeling, or intelligent routing of human moderation. The goal: keep Medium a place where humans thrive, not bots. Positively contribute to the broader culture and data ecosystem at Medium. Mentor others, document your work with clarity, and help raise the bar for how we think about, design, and deploy ML systems. Share learnings generously and make the people and systems around you better. Attend Medium's twice-yearly, in-person offsites (hosted in locations around the U.S.). Skills, Knowledge and Expertise You've been designing and building software for at least 7 years, with at least 3 years focused on architecting and shipping consumer-facing ML models. You have experience integrating ML into end-user products (recommendation, ranking, personalization, moderation). You have a proven track record of developing and deploying ML models that deliver measurable business and user impact, not just theoretical gains. You embody the “applied” in applied ML: You enjoy the research, but love seeing models ship, move metrics, and make people's experiences better. You're fluent in Python and ML libraries such as TensorFlow, HuggingFace Transformers, and scikit-learn. You're comfortable taking models from notebook to production. It's a huge added bonus if you have experience with Apache Spark for distributed or large-scale training. You're an excellent collaborator, able to translate between data, product, design, and engineering worlds, helping non-ML partners see what's possible (and what's not). You're excited to be “the voice of ML” in business and product conversations. You're skilled at identifying and evangelizing high-leverage ML opportunities across the organization, from recommendation systems to new personalization or quality signals. You have hands-on experience with modern model architectures and techniques e.g., feature interaction modeling, advanced negative sampling and bias correction techniques, and efficient large-scale candidate retrieval. (Bonus) You're curious about content discovery, publishing, or online communities, and have a soft spot for writing, ideas, and helping great work get found. Nice to Haves Experience with modern recommender systems. Experience utilizing modern AI tooling to accelerate development efforts. A passion for online writing, publishing, or long-form content. Familiarity with Medium, as a reader, writer, or both! Benefits In addition to the new skills you'll pick up, here's what else you'll enjoy by working at Medium: Working with a fully distributed team: We're fully remote and have teammates across the U.S. & France. Healthcare benefits covered at 100% for employees and 70% for dependents. Generous parental leave policy. Mental health support through Talkspace. Financial wellness support through Northstar. Stipends for co-working, professional development, wifi, and a one-time home office bonus. Unlimited PTO and standard company holidays. A discounted Medium membership! At Medium, inclusion, diversity, and equity are core to how we work and what we build. We believe a more inclusive team creates a better product-one that's intuitive, thoughtful, and serves a wide range of users. We strive to foster a supportive, fun, and challenging environment where people from all backgrounds can thrive. We welcome applicants from all walks of life and strongly encourage those from historically underrepresented groups to apply. Our hiring process is built to ensure fairness and equal opportunity for everyone. Even if your experience doesn't match every requirement, we'd still love to hear from you-your perspective and passion matter more than checking every box.

  • Senior Researcher

    Givewell 4.0company rating

    Remote senior scientist job

    GiveWell is a research organization that identifies and funds cost-effective giving opportunities, focusing on global health and well-being. Our work is funded by tens of thousands of donors who rely on our research to inform their giving. We've grown from directing $1.5 million in 2010 to directing nearly $400 million in 2024. Summary GiveWell is seeking exceptional Senior Researchers to help us direct hundreds of millions of dollars annually to the most cost-effective global health and poverty alleviation programs. As part of our lean research team, you will have an outsized influence on our funding decisions and help us save and improve lives on a global scale. You'll create and lead ambitious research agendas, answer complex questions, and inform high-impact grantmaking decisions by combining rigorous evidence review, cost-effectiveness modeling, and thoughtful judgment. Some Senior Researchers may eventually choose to transition into an equivalently-leveled Program Officer role to lead a large grantmaking portfolio, while others choose to stay focused on leading significant research agendas. We're open to a wide variety of internal development options depending on your preferences and our needs. The role Senior Researchers are the intellectual leaders of GiveWell's work. In this role, you'll join a small senior team in setting ambitious research agendas, sifting through the countless questions we could try to answer and honing in on those that matter most. Your decisions will inform the allocation of hundreds of millions of dollars to dozens of grantees. You'll also communicate externally about our work and mentor and advise other members of the team. You will shape a research agenda that brings rigor and creativity to the thorniest questions GiveWell faces. You'll execute that agenda by combining thorough review of empirical evidence, cost-effectiveness modeling, discussions with subject matter experts, understanding of the broader context, and your own judgment. In the course of your work, you might approach questions like these: What should we believe about the impacts of improved water quality on all-cause mortality? What is the impact of building footbridges in rural communities? How can we model the general equilibrium effects of cash transfers? How should we prioritize programs that reduce poverty relative to programs that reduce deaths? How should we think about the opportunity cost of other actors' contributions to programs we fund? How should we account for high levels of uncertainty in our cost-effectiveness estimates? How do we use effects from trials conducted 30 to 40 years ago to predict impacts today? After gaining experience on the team, Senior Researchers pursue a few pathways for career development based on their preferences and GiveWell's needs. Some choose to develop wider and more autonomous research agendas as individual contributors, while others take on people management responsibilities. Another potential pathway is to transition into a Program Officer role, which is a lateral move-we don't conceptualize the Senior Researcher role as a training ground for program work. All of GiveWell's Program Officers are also researchers with strong technical training and a penchant for sketching out a model when they're not sure how to approach a problem. Program Officers typically own high-impact, cost-effective grantmaking portfolios by deepening their expertise, growing their networks, and understanding the broader context within a specific grantmaking area. They think through questions like: How should we balance exploring and seeding new, smaller opportunities with funding cost-effective opportunities at scale today? How can we triangulate empirical evidence against expert opinion on other qualitative features, like organizational track record? What is research we can fund today that could substantially impact our grantmaking five years from now? How much uncertainty are we willing to accept before making a grant? What key research questions do we need to answer before making a grant, and which ones can we deprioritize or answer later? Team structure Our research department has nearly 50 people, and is currently organized into eight teams: Five of the teams (Water, Livelihoods, Nutrition, Malaria, and Vaccines) focus on specific areas of grantmaking. The New Areas team focuses on interventions in domains that are new to GiveWell. The Cross-Cutting team focuses on methodological issues, research quality, and other big-picture concerns that cut across all of our research work. The Commons team provides generalized research support to each of the other teams, including landscaping research, vetting, and publishing. In most cases, we hire Senior Researchers without knowing which subteam they'll eventually sit on. We aim to expose our new senior team members to different types of work and parts of the team over several months to inform their eventual subteam placement. (We might settle on a subteam more quickly if new hires bring specific, specialized expertise.) Team values We think our research team has unique qualities: We care deeply and centrally about finding and sharing truth. Truth-seeking is one of our core values. We post our mistakes and we prize our team members who keep our culture of free-flowing feedback strong. We are independent. We focus 100% on finding the most cost-effective opportunities to save and improve lives. Our researchers assist in communicating our research findings to the public and our donors, and on occasion we provide tailored advice to ultra-high-net-worth donors who want to rely on our expertise to direct their giving-but we never ask our researchers to trade off against honesty, or to hide their real beliefs. We don't waste time. Once it's clear that a particular research question is unlikely to change our bottom-line funding recommendation, we drop it as quickly as possible. We encourage our research staff to constantly re-evaluate their portfolios and only work on the highest-priority questions. Lean research team = huge personal impact. Our research team of just under 50 people directs hundreds of millions of dollars annually. We work well together. Our research team is lean because we're able to attract top-tier people, all of whom complete skills-based assessments before joining our staff. We maintain a high-performing, collegial culture and pay our staff accordingly. About you Senior Researchers must have quantitatively-oriented advanced degrees and substantial relevant experience using empirical tools to make rigorous, evidence-based decisions in the real world. Practically, our senior research staff typically has 5-10 years of post-grad work experience prior to joining GiveWell. We're happy to consider applicants who do not have advanced degrees, but we'll look for a commensurate amount of relevant experience. You can review our staff bios here for more practical insight on the backgrounds and experience of our current team. We expect that people with the soft qualities below will be the most successful and happy on our team. This isn't a full list, but hopefully it conveys the gist of our team's professional personality: GiveWell's mission and methods are personally energizing-you like our approach to research and you find personal meaning in our story of impact. You're abnormally curious-you ask lots of questions, and you're willing to interrogate others' work. Your curiosity also extends to your own work-you aren't defensive when your research comes under scrutiny. You routinely think about and surface the value judgments, background knowledge, and strategic commitments that undergird your work. You understand the potential effects of mistaken mental models, so you strive to improve yours and your team's. You dislike it when people express strong confidence in views that don't seem to rely on commensurate evidence. You carefully and legibly communicate about your confidence levels. You appreciate the value of an excellent reputation and strong relationships. You can moderate your directness and intensity when you're communicating with external folks. You love a gnarly problem. You figure out the most important questions to answer, go deep on the details where they matter (and move on where they don't), and reassess your mental models based on what you've learned. You constantly assess whether you and the team are working on the most important things. The details Compensation: We set salaries using a location-based tier system. Our pay for this role: NYC or the San Francisco Bay Area: $226,800. All other U.S. locations: $205,600. International: Similar to the “all other U.S. locations” salary, based on historical exchange rates and delivered in locally-denominated currency. We can share a precise figure upon request after the first work trial stage. Benefits: Our benefits include: Fully funded health, dental, vision, and life insurance (we cover 100% of premiums within the US for you and any dependents) Four weeks of paid time off per year 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave Ergonomic home workstations or coworking space memberships 403(b) retirement plan Location: GiveWell's staff work primarily remotely within the U.S. and abroad. This position is eligible to work fully remotely. Offices: You are welcome but not required to work from our offices in Oakland, California; Brooklyn, NYC; or London, UK. We'll cover relocation expenses for candidates who wish to move to any of our physical office locations. International work: We are happy to employ staff internationally on a case-by-case basis. A successful candidate will need to commit to a work schedule that has some overlap with American working hours and the schedules of key coworkers. Flexibility: We support and encourage flexible working, including flexible hours, working remotely, and working from the office when you choose. The majority of our staff, including senior management, work flexibly in one way or another. Visa Sponsorship: If you want to work in the United States and need a work visa, we'll do our best to sponsor it (and also cover up to 100% of relocation expenses on a case-by-case basis). Please note that government entities ultimately dictate our ability to sponsor visas. Travel: Research team members are sometimes required to attend international site visits and conferences (on average 1-2 per year), with additional travel for those interested in traveling more. Additionally, we strongly encourage staff members to attend quarterly whole-org and department retreats to bond with other team members and complete in-person work. We'll discuss travel obligations in more detail during late stages of the hiring process, and we'll accommodate staff who have conflicting family or other obligations. Miscellaneous details: After application review, our hiring process consists of a short application exercise and up to 15 hours of compensated work trials. You can see more details about our hiring process on our FAQs page! We devote significant staff capacity to initial application review, and we respond to all applications as quickly as possible. We're aiming to hire four to six full-time Senior Researchers. We have a strong preference for full-time applicants, but we'll consider applications for part-time work. We aren't interested in reviewing applications for contract or project-based work at this time. If we settle on an application deadline, we'll write it in bold here. If you're on our website job posting and don't see a deadline, there is no deadline. If you're reading this on an external job board and don't see a deadline, you should double-check on our website. You don't need to submit a cover letter-we rely mainly on your resume and answers to the application questions below when we're making early decisions. About GiveWell GiveWell is dedicated to finding and funding outstanding giving opportunities in global health and development, sharing the full details of our analysis with everyone for free. Our giving funds enable donors to contribute to the most impactful and cost-effective programs our researchers identify. Since 2007, we've directed over $2.6 billion to cost-effective programs and interventions. In the last two years, we've made more than $500 million in grants. GiveWell is one of the world's largest private funders of global development efforts, and we estimate that the funding we've directed will save more than 340,000 lives. GiveWell is most well-known for recommending a small number of Top Charities, which currently support seasonal malaria chemoprevention, antimalarial nets, vaccine incentivization, and vitamin A supplementation. However, most of our research capacity is devoted to finding cost-effective opportunities outside of those programs. GiveWell grants have: Helped governments to implement high-impact health programs, like in-line chlorination of drinking water in India and HIV/syphilis screening and treatment for pregnant people in Zambia and Cameroon. Funded program delivery alongside strengthened monitoring and evaluation, as in our grants to support treatment of clubfoot and to evaluate the program. Sought to scope and scale promising interventions that don't have clear existing implementers. We are supporting the Clinton Health Access Initiative's Incubator and Evidence Action's Accelerator to identify potentially cost-effective interventions and create programs that we would be excited to support in the future. For example, we funded a program to provide diarrhea treatment to children in Nigeria that we co-designed with CHAI through the Incubator program. Tested our assumptions through further research, including studies on the effect of water chlorination on mortality, the impact of a tree-planting program on farmers' income, and the effects of combining the RTS,S malaria vaccine and perennial malaria chemoprevention. We never take for granted that GiveWell's work is good for the world. We make our reasoning public and transparent so others can challenge it (sometimes we even pay people to point out our errors). We go to unusual lengths to check our assumptions and assess our impact, including funding research and external analysis to address our uncertainties and insisting that our grantees conduct rigorous monitoring and evaluation. We change our minds when the evidence demands it. Additional information We don't want to miss candidates that could do great things at GiveWell. Practically, that means a GiveWell staff member reviews every application carefully, considering the whole picture of your background and potential. If you're on the fence about applying because you meet some but not 100% of our preferred qualifications (some studies suggest this hesitation is especially common for women and people of color), we encourage you to apply anyway. GiveWell is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer by choice. At minimum, this means that we comply with all federal, state, and local EEO and employment laws. Beyond the requirements of those laws, we value our team's diversity in all respects, and we desire to maintain a work environment free of harassment or discrimination-we want our team members to thrive at GiveWell. If you need assistance or an accommodation due to a disability, contact us at ********************. We will consider employment for qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records. By submitting an application, you acknowledge that you have read and consent to GiveWell's Privacy Statement for Applicants. By completing an application exercise, you acknowledge and assent to GiveWell's Work Trial Policy.
