## Job description

Mirendil Mirendil is a tech-first company focused on solving core bottlenecks that unlock step-change acceleration across science and technology. Our first goal is to democratize frontier AI R&D across scientific disciplines. We are building a frontier AI research company and training our own models end-to-end.

## The Role

You'll build and improve the internal systems that keep Mirendil running. As an AI research lab, we work with a highly technical team and want our internal operations to reflect the same approach to problem-solving, automation, and efficiency.

You'll work across people operations, executive operations, and office systems to understand how work gets done, identify bottlenecks, and design technology-driven solutions. Your focus will be on connecting tools, automating repetitive processes, and building reliable systems that allow our researchers and engineers to focus on their work.

## What You'll Own

- Improve internal systems. Analyze existing workflows, identify inefficiencies, and design and implement solutions that reduce manual work. Evaluate tools, document system requirements, and improve how information moves across the company.
- Build better people operations systems. Improve the technology behind recruiting, onboarding, offboarding, and employee management. Configure and integrate internal platforms, automate administrative workflows, and ensure information is accurate and accessible.
- Support research team operations. Work with researchers and engineers to understand their operational needs and improve the internal systems supporting their work. Develop workflows for employee onboarding, access requests, resource coordination, and internal information management.
- Streamline executive operations. Design and implement systems that improve scheduling, task tracking, expense management, and information sharing. Build automated workflows that help leadership operate more efficiently.
- Optimize office and administrative systems. Improve the technology behind vendor management, facilities, purchasing, and team logistics. Develop systems for tracking requests, managing approvals, and coordinating day-to-day operations.
- Connect and automate tools. Evaluate existing software, identify opportunities for integration, and implement solutions that improve efficiency across teams. Configure applications and automate information flows between systems.
- Test and improve. Test new systems and workflows, troubleshoot technical issues, document processes, and gather feedback to continuously improve how our internal tools operate.

## Who You Are

- You think in systems. You naturally look for ways to simplify workflows, eliminate repetitive tasks, and solve operational problems through technology.
- You're technically resourceful. You're comfortable working with software platforms, integrations, and automation tools. You can translate operational needs into practical technical solutions.
- You understand how technical teams operate. You can work closely with researchers, engineers, and leadership to understand their needs and build systems that support their work.
- You exercise judgment, not just follow instructions. You can work with incomplete information, distinguish what matters from what doesn't, and know when to act and when to escalate.
- Your follow-through is exceptional. You can take a systems improvement project from identifying a problem through implementation, testing, and ongoing improvement.
- You combine high standards with low ego. You're comfortable working across functions, solving practical problems, and building systems that make other people more effective.

## Qualifications

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field
- Experience with business systems analysis, workflow automation, software implementation, or systems integration.
- Ability to analyze operational requirements, document system workflows, and evaluate technical solutions.

We offer a base salary of $150,000–$200,000 and a meaningful equity grant, depending on experience and background, along with competitive benefits.

## About Mirendil

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Mirendil is building an AI system that automates AI research and development, with the goal of creating a self-improving loop that accelerates scientific discovery.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage; raised $200M)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, USA
- **Founded**: Early 2026
- **Founders**: Behnam Neyshabur and Harsh Mehta

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Artificial Intelligence / AI Research & Development
- **Target customers**: B2B – initially AI researchers and engineers, but eventually scientists and domain experts (e.g., biology labs, drug discovery teams) who need frontier AI capabilities without building a full AI lab.
- **Mission**: “Democratizing frontier AI R&D to accelerate science and technology.” The company believes self-accelerating AI R&D is the most direct path to solving humanity’s pressing problems.

## Products & Services
- **Mirendil Platform**: A proprietary AI R&D system that trains frontier models specialized in AI research tasks (e.g., experimental design, hyperparameter search, model evaluation, code writing, debugging). The platform is designed to autonomously loop over research and engineering problems, controlling its own GPUs and improving over time with minimal human input. **Status**: Not yet shipped; under development.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: $1 billion (as of June 2026 seed round)
- **Key Metric (Funding)**: $200 million raised in seed round – one of the largest AI seed rounds ever.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Andreessen Horowitz (co-lead), Kleiner Perkins (co-lead), NVIDIA (participant).
- **Growth Signals**:
  - Raised $200M at $1B valuation just months after founding.
  - Founding team of 20+ researchers and engineers recruited from Anthropic, xAI, Google DeepMind, and OpenAI.
  - Founders Behnam Neyshabur (co-inventor of SAM optimizer, ex-Google, ex-Anthropic) and Harsh Mehta (ex-Google, ex-Anthropic, initiated automated AI R&D efforts) have deep frontier AI experience.
  - Targeted at compressing research cycles from months to days.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Self-Accelerating Loop**: The product is not just a model but a system that improves itself – “the loop is the product.” This creates a compounding advantage if it works.
- **Singular Focus**: The entire company is rebuilt from scratch around AI doing AI research, unlike traditional labs that use AI as a tool.
- **Top-tier Talent Density**: With only ~20 people, the team includes some of the most accomplished young researchers from the leading AI labs.
- **Strategic Investors**: Backing from a16z, Kleiner Perkins, and NVIDIA provides credibility, capital, and potential infrastructure access.

## Strategic Focus
- **Immediate goal**: Build the system that can autonomously perform AI R&D, making frontier research accessible to non-AI experts.
- **Long-term vision**: Democratize frontier AI R&D so that any lab (drug discovery, chemistry, biology, robotics) can leverage it without becoming a frontier AI lab themselves.
- **Current priorities**: Train models exceptional at AI research; build infrastructure for automated experimentation, evaluation, and iteration; keep the team small and high-compound.

## Why Work Here
- **Engineering culture**: “Small team, singular focus. We hire to compound, not to grow.” The team of ~20 operates with high autonomy and ownership.
- **Cutting-edge work**: Opportunity to work on one of the most ambitious AI projects – automating the very process of AI research.
- **Team composition**: Colleagues from Anthropic, xAI, DeepMind, OpenAI; founders known for foundational contributions (SAM optimizer, Blueshift/Mirerva).
- **Work environment**: Based in San Francisco; likely in-office given the intensity of the work (remote/hybrid policy not publicly detailed).
- **Notable perks**: Direct exposure to frontier model training and infrastructure; chance to shape a company from its earliest stage.
