What We Value:

  • First-principles thinking: Ability to break down complex problems from the ground up and reason about them rigorously
  • Mathematical intuition: Strong grasp of the underlying math behind machine learning, optimization, or systems
  • Self-directed and autonomous: Capable of working independently while collaborating well with cross-functional teams
