Research, Mid-Training

WE ARE AN APPLIED AI LAB BUILDING END-TO-END SOFTWARE AGENTS. We're the makers of Devin, the first AI software engineer, and Windsurf, the AI-native IDE. Together, they represent our vision for collaborative AI teammates that enable engineers to focus on more interesting problems and empower teams to strive for more ambitious goals. Our team is small and talent-dense. Among our founding team, we have world-class competitive programmers, former founders, and leaders from companies at the cutting edge of AI including Scale AI, Palantir, Cursor, Waymo, Tesla, Lunchclub, Modal, Google DeepMind, and Nuro. Building Devin is just the first step—our hardest challenges still lie ahead. If you’re excited to solve some of the world’s biggest problems and build AI that can reason on real-world tasks, apply to join us. ROLE MISSION Mid-training sits at the seam between pre-training and post-training and is one of the highest-leverage points in the entire model pipeline. This is where raw base model capability is sharpened into something that can reason deeply, generalize reliably, and serve as the foundation that post-training builds on. You will own the late-stage training decisions that determine what our models are fundamentally capable of: data mix and quality uplift, annealing schedules, context length extension, capability injection across coding, math, and reasoning, and the synthet...
