We're looking for part- or full-time engineers to own software projects with meaningful impact. Your work will help scale the pipeline of people going into AI Safety. Your software engineering expertise will allow us to:
scale our reach by building a platform that supports interactive self-paced learning for millions of people
develop experiences that improve learning quality and engagement, ultimately leading to better skilled graduates who are even more likely to recommend our courses
build systems that match top graduates to critical AI safety positions or opportunities, including collaborating with the many other organisations that use our software tools
handle more users with technically scalable and robust tools
What is engineering at BlueDot like?
BlueDot is a place to ship excellent work, fast. Some things that contribute to this are:
Working in public: An open-source codebase means you're empowered to see everything and make changes anywhere. Additionally, several other AI safety organisations rely on our software to power their programs - scaling your impact further. You'll also be able to showcase your BlueDot work on your GitHub profile to land your next impactful job.
Tooling Freedom: Whether you swear by VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf or whatever the latest AI-assisted editor is these days, if it makes you faster it’s yours to use and expense.
Experimentation at the Core: We thrive on rapid prototyping and iterative hacking. Have an idea for an experiment? Go from proposal to launch in hours.
Collaborate with World-Class Experts: Interested in AI safety? Work side-by-side with experts to build key products that serve the field. Want to grow your technical skills? Our core team includes an ex-Palantir Tech Lead, and a former Staff Software Engineer from LinkedIn.
About You
You might be a great fit if you:
Adapt quickly to new environments, with a self-driven and curious mindset
Are capable of generating and executing on many ideas for meeting user needs
Aspire to build amazing user experiences, with an understanding of how to rapidly build high-quality products
Have 2+ years of software engineering experience, coding in TypeScript or another high-level programming language
Our main tech stack is full-stack TypeScript: with React, Tailwind, Next.js, Pulumi, Kubernetes and more.
Have previously owned a full-stack project: whether at work or as a personal side project.
We encourage speculative applications; many strong candidates will not meet all of the criteria listed here.
We believe that a more diverse team leads to a healthier and happier workplace culture, more productive conflict, and greater long-term impact. In this spirit, we especially encourage people from all groups to apply.
