Job Description
Research Engineer
Project Eleven
• Research, design and build high-fidelity proof-of-concepts for upcoming features • Serve as a bridge to the Product Engineering team, providing cryptographic guidance, code reviews, and troubleshooting for complex protocol-level issues • Uphold rigorous security standards and best-practice cryptographic principles before they transition to production • Own and maintain key R&D initiatives and drive community contributions • Work closely with clients and partners, helping them to navigate and implement post-quantum migrations • Monitor the evolving blockchain and post-quantum cryptography landscape, identifying emerging threats or new primitives for adoption • Translate complex concepts into digestible technical blog posts, documentation, and whitepapers solidifying P11's thought leadership in the space
Job Requirements
- Strong experience in Rust. You’ll be expected to work on performance-critical research or protocol-level code. Strong proficiency in a similar systems programming language may also be acceptable
- Experience writing, testing, and deploying secure smart contracts in Solidity
- Experience building robust applications or tooling in TypeScript. You should be comfortable using TypeScript to model complex logic and interact with cryptographic libraries
- Demonstrable experience writing clean, secure code that was shipped to a production system in a Web3 company
- Deep understanding of cryptographic primitives (hashes, signatures, encryption) and their practical implementation/limitations
- Comprehensive understanding of EVM internals, cross-chain dynamics, and the broader modular/L2 ecosystem
- Demonstrated excellence in problem solving, e.g. hard problems solved in a company, high achievements in academic problem solving, hackathon wins
- Strong technical writing skills. The ability to explain "why it matters" to a non-technical audience and "how it works" to a technical one
- Public contributions to the blockchain ecosystem, e.g. blog posts, valuable forum engagement, valuable social media contributions, useful open source projects
Benefits
- Equal Opportunity: We are committed to equal employment opportunity and believe that diverse teams build better products. All qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to any protected characteristic under applicable law.

Senior Research Engineer – Search & Recommendation Ranking
Sequen AIThe first Behavior Design Engine for the enterprise. Sequen isn’t retrofitted AI search or recommendations. It rethinks relevance from first principles. Sequen introduces the first foundational Large Event Model (LEM), trained on billions of user event sequences and built natively on a reinforcement learning infrastructure. LEMs are specialized neural networks that predict the next user event—just as LLMs predict the next word. Sequen’s LEMs are pre-trained on billions of user-site interactions and fine-tuned to optimize for the outcomes you care about. No more fixed pipelines with fragmented infrastructure. Sequen replaces them with a single endpoint that adaptively handles all phases of personalization via LEMs and memory models—all through a sub-25ms API.
About Us Sequen AI is leading the charge for building frontier ranking models for search and recommendations. Sequen AI's technology specializes in designing end-user behavior for large consumer enterprises. The Role We’re looking for a Senior Research Engineer with expertise in search and recommendation modeling to help us design, develop, and scale innovative ranking, embedding and retrieval models that power our personalized discovery platform. In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to work on impactful projects, from enhancing recommendation ranking systems to building search retrieval models, all while contributing to the underlying data pipelines and infrastructure. This is an ideal role for someone eager to grow their skills, take ownership of complex systems, and be part of an agile, fast-paced environment. What You'll Do Develop & Optimize Ranking Models : Build, train, and deploy advanced search and recommendation models using Deep Learning techniques. Data Engineering : Design and implement data pipelines to process large-scale datasets, ensuring models are fed with high-quality, reliable data. Infrastructure : Work with tools like Kubernetes, Airflow, and AWS to manage scalable model deployment and experimentation environments. What We’re Looking For Experience : 5+ years of experience as an ML Engineer or similar role, with a focus on deep learning for search, recommendation, or related applications. Technical Expertise : Proficient in PyTorch, Deep Learning, and Spark, with a strong foundation in machine learning theory and algorithms. Data Engineering Skills : Hands-on experience with data pipelines and processing large-scale datasets. You'll design and optimize data pipelines using tools like Spark, Airflow, and dbt across GCP and AWS. Infrastructure Knowledge : Some familiarity with tools such as Kubernetes, Airflow, Terraform and cloud platforms like AWS for deployment and scalability. Problem Solver : Strong analytical and critical thinking skills, with a passion for tackling open-ended challenges. What We Offer A collaborative and innovative work environment at the forefront of ML and AI. Opportunities to make a direct impact on product and technology direction. Annual Salary : $280,000—$350,000 USD (based on experience) + Equity Health insurance, unlimited time off, awesome team If you’re excited about building next-generation search and recommendation systems and growing your expertise in a dynamic startup, we’d love to hear from you!

Lower rates may apply during onboarding or non-core project phases. Payment details are shared per project.
We are building the next generation of AI agents capable of navigating the complex consulting tasks. To achieve this, we are looking for consultants with 5+ years of experience at McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group, or Bain & Company. The role is not client-facing and does not involve stakeholder management. Instead, the consultant will use their direct experience from real consulting projects to: - Recreate realistic consulting project environments - Design structured problem-solving tasks - Define what high-quality outputs should look like - Evaluate AI-generated outputs against consulting standards Why an MBB Background Matters Practical knowledge of how consulting projects actually work in detail is required. Specifically: - How ambiguous client questions are translated into structured workplans - How hypotheses are formed and tested - How data gaps are handled in real projects - What “good” looks like in slide decks, models, and executive summaries - How trade-offs and recommendations are developed under uncertainty The AI must be trained on environments that reflect real consulting complexity. Only someone who has worked on multiple MBB projects can reliably recreate this level of realism. While we value all analytical backgrounds, this role specifically requires first-hand MBB project experience. What You’ll Do Design realistic consulting environments - Create detailed project scenarios (industry context, financials, constraints, incomplete information) - Develop structured tasks such as market sizing, due diligence, cost reduction, growth strategy, or operational diagnosis Define what “good” looks like - Set clear evaluation criteria for high-quality consulting outputs - Distinguish between superficial answers and consulting-grade reasoning Evaluate AI outputs - Review analyses and identify logical errors, weak assumptions, and structural gaps - Provide precise, actionable feedback to improve system performance Continuously improve training quality - Refine scenarios, edge cases, and evaluation frameworks - Increase realism based on real project experience Skills & Requirements - 5+ years at McKinsey, BCG, or Bain - Strong structured problem-solving skills - Ability to translate vague problems into clear analytical steps - High attention to logical consistency - Independent working style Basic technical familiarity required: - Reading structured formats (e.g., JSON or YAML) - Basic Git/GitHub usage - Clear written English (B2+) What This Role Is Not - No client interaction - No stakeholder management - No sales or business development - No team leadership responsibilities This is a focused analytical role for consultants who want to apply their problem-solving skills to advanced AI systems.
