AGI Algorithmic Software Engineer 

Fully Remote • Global Candidates Welcome 

Want to be part of the core team building the technology that will leapfrog LLMs? 

We have developed and previously commercialized an AI that requires a million times less training data than LLMs, trains and runs on a single off-the-shelf computer, and learns and adapts incrementally in real time. The approach, called Cognitive AI, is based on first principles of human cognition and overcomes the cost, reliability, privacy, and security limitations of LLMs.

We are now on the final stretch of scaling this technology to full general adult-level ability and to bring it to the world. A multi-trillion-dollar opportunity. 

If this vision excites you and you are available to fully dedicate yourself to our mission, read on.

The team is motivated by the positive vision of how Cognitive AI can foster human flourishing, the challenge of solving difficult novel problems, and the rewards that come from building something truly transformative.

Financial compensation of this core team leans more towards meaningful stock options than maximizing cash. Think early Google or SpaceX, employee #15. 

 

The Role 

This is not a role maintaining existing products or optimizing existing AI models. You will work directly with Aigo’s chief scientist and engineering team to bring innovative core algorithms to life.

Prior AI experience is not required—our approach differs substantially from traditional machine learning, rule-based systems, and large language models. What matters most is your ability to excel at algorithmic design, development, optimization, and problem-solving. If you’re also fascinated by the nature of intelligence and comfortable thinking like a cognitive scientist, that’s a real advantage. 

 

Requirements: 

  • 2+ years of professional software engineering experience 
  • Proven strength in algorithm design, development, optimization, and debugging complex systems 
  • Strong analytical thinking and logical problem-solving skills 
  • Proficiency in C# (.NET Core)—or the ability to quickly become fluent 
  • Comfortable working in a fast-moving, highly iterative environment where the problem itself is still being solved 
  • Hacker-at-heart: you solve problems, you don’t wait for them to be solved for you 

 

What’s Not Required: 

Prior AI/ML, full-stack, cloud, communications, or security expertise. This role is all about core algorithms and deep system-level coding. 

 

Interested? 

We only want to hear from people who have genuinely engaged with what we’re building. 

Step 1: Read Peter’s Substack article The Secret is Out and the whitepapers on our website (whitepapers). For an optional deeper dive explore the Substack archive.

Step 2: Email agiEngineer@aigo.ai with your top 3 questions about our technology and why you’d be a great fit. 

No AI-generated applications or answers. 

The questions you ask will tell us more about whether you’re the right person for this role than your resume will.
