About the Role
We're a small group of engineers, designers, and product folks building at the intersection of conversational AI and domain expertise. Making an AI agent sound human-like is hard. Making an AI an expert in a domain is also hard. We're doing both together. Our product is Vaya — an AI-powered Vedic astrology app used by millions.
The Research team owns two outcomes. First: becoming the company's authority on Vedic astrology. Second: breaking down real astrologer mechanics into fundamentals that our engineers can build digital personas on, and writing benchmarks for those digital personas.
What You'll Do
- Build domain authority and write documents on astrology concepts that will help engineers ship your findings
- Break down astrologer personas into clear metrics — traits, modus operandi, and vocabulary — and map them to our AI agents
- Source and vet SMEs, modern and traditional astrological authorities, and texts
- Network and engage with modern practitioners
- Design and conduct case studies and experiments with practitioners
- Create benchmarks for metrics to evaluate persona performance
- Discover new concepts and refine your understanding of existing ones until all questions are answered
What We Look For
- Ability to write documents that convey the message without any fluff
- First-principles thinking to break down obscure and layered concepts clearly, with logic at each step
- Published papers or articles showcasing your findings and depth of understanding in a domain
- Proven proficiency at extracting information from conversational transcripts, incoherent textbooks, or non-falsifiable domains
- 3+ years in a research role at a startup or as a domain research consultant
How We Work
We care about craft obsessively. Your work gets questioned, pulled apart, and rebuilt — not because we're harsh, but because everyone here holds each other to a standard most places don't bother with. We work out of a hacker house in Vasant Kunj. We strongly encourage everyone to be in office.
