FirstPrinciples is a research company building AI systems for discovery in fundamental science. It develops domain-specialized models and tools (branded Theo: Theo Collaborator, Theo Conjecture, and Theo, the AI Physicist) to assist the scientific process—hypothesis generation, symbolic reasoning, tool integration, validation loops, and reproducible research objects. The company emphasizes transparency, stewardship of knowledge as a public good, and alignment with the scientific community. Technical claims include multiple fine-tuned models across physics domains, a model family with 120B+ parameters trained on a curated corpus of 3M+ scientific papers, and internal experiments in areas like quantum information.

📋 Description

• Work directly with physicists to help them run experiments, interpret results, and unlock value quickly • Own the end-to-end user lifecycle: from discovery and activation, to onboarding and long-term retention • Design and improve onboarding flows, workflows, and user journeys that scale across thousands of users • Build lightweight systems (guides, tooling, automations) to help users graduate from freemium to higher-tier usage • Identify friction points in the user experience and translate them into product or workflow improvements • Partner closely with research and engineering to align the system with real user needs • Act as a technical point of contact for users, someone who can go deep when needed.

🎯 Requirements

• Strong background in physics (PhD or equivalent depth of experience preferred) • Comfort and familiarity working hands-on with technical systems, experiments, or computational tools • Able to translate complex concepts into clear guidance for users • Passionate about research and experimentation • Experience supporting users, customers, or researchers at scale (eg. CSM, developer relations, research support, etc.) • Highly systems-oriented; you think in terms of workflows, repeatability, and scale • Comfortable with ambiguity and early-stage environments where you define the playbook • Motivated by impact, you care about helping others get real value from complex systems

🏖️ Benefits

• The opportunity to work on foundational problems at the intersection of AI and physics • A high-trust, low-bureaucracy environment with real ownership • Remote-first work with flexibility in how you structure your day • Exposure to cutting-edge ideas across AI, scientific discovery, and emerging technologies • A culture that values curiosity, depth of thinking, and first-principles reasoning • The chance to contribute to work aimed at advancing fundamental science
