About this role
Summary: Join CTGT's Research team to evaluate and govern generative AI models. You will help build deterministic governance layers that ensure reliability, auditability, and performance for large language models in real-world environments.
About CTGT & The Mission
Despite massive investment in commercial AI, organizations often find that demonstrated value is elusive, primarily due to the non-deterministic risk inherent to generative models. CTGT is the deterministic governance layer that enables the most important global institutions to deploy AI workflows with confidence.
Born out of Stanford University research, we provide the control plane that makes it possible. A lightweight, model-agnostic system that enforces policy, prevents drift, and produces auditable decisions in real time. When benchmarked on HaluEval, the CTGT Policy Engine (paired with GPT-120B OSS) outperformed frontier models (Gemini 3 Pro Preview, Claude 4.5 Opus and 4.5 Sonnet) at drastically lower compute cost.
While we sit on the edge of AI research, CTGT brings frontier intelligence into real-world environments. We apply cutting-edge theory directly in production to make large language models more reliable, controllable, and performant in practice.
Our mission is to bring models to the level of performance and accountability required by the Fortune 500. By bridging the gap between LLM capabilities and domain-specific requirements, we unlock the true potential of generative AI to solve the most pressing problems in our world today.

What We Offer
Compensation & Equity: Competitive base compensation, plus significant equity in a venture-backed company with institutional investors including Google’s Gradient Ventures, General Catalyst, and Y Combinator. We want people who think and act like owners.
Real Impact: You will work directly on the core systems that determine how models perform in the wild. Your work ships into real, high-stakes environments where governance, auditability, and performance are non-negotiable.
Autonomy & Trust: We operate with a high degree of trust. You are expected to form strong technical opinions and execute on them.
