# Founding Engineer, Applied AI Research

Location: Paris, France. We value working in person, and we stay flexible. You may also get the chance to join us on occasional trips to San Francisco. Language: English is required. You do not need to speak French. The role You own two things at Armature: the research we publish and the evals system behind our results. You work on both hand in hand with our forward deployed engineer and our product engineer. 1. The research we publish. Our studies on how coding agents think and choose are how most customers find us. You decide what we study next, you run the studies behind our public leaderboards, and you publish the findings under your name. 2. The evals system. Everything we tell a customer depends on our evals, so they have to be excellent. You research how to design them to get the best results, and you build what works into the product. This field is young, so many of your questions won’t have an answer yet, and what you find will shape how software gets rebuilt for agents. What you will do Published research Design and run studies on how coding agents choose tools, how models and harnesses differ, and how agents use software. Find the next questions worth asking, and new way
