Founding AI Researcher @ Blaise

About Us

Blaise is a fast-growing, well-funded GenAI startup (Seed $5.6M) on a mission to become the AI Layer of the global insurance industry. The insurance sector is a $2 trillion market in the US alone, yet it remains one of the most manually intensive and regulated industries in the world.

At Blaise, we are building a vertical LLM-based platform that automates the analysis, search, and generation of complex regulatory documents. Within just six months of launch, we have already secured Fortune 100 enterprise customers, proving the massive demand for our technology.

The Role

As our Founding AI Researcher, you will be a core member of our founding team, working directly with our CTO. This is a hands-on, entrepreneurial role where you will bridge the gap between deep research and real-world MVP delivery.

Vertical AI Innovation: Solve deep challenges related to understanding and generating long-form (400+ pages) regulatory PDFs.
Ownership: Take full responsibility for the research methodology while writing production-ready code when needed.

Who You Are

Research Background: You come from a strong Data Science or Research background, with deep experience in classical ML and a transition into GenAI/LLMs.
GenAI Expert: You have a proven track record of working with LLMs, RAG, and prompt engineering in professional environments.
Production-Minded: You have a "Star Quality" for delivery – you’ve written code for production before and understand how to make research scalable.
Problem Solver: You thrive in high-uncertainty environments and enjoy the "zero-to-one" phase of a startup.
Academic Excellence: Degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field (Advanced degree is a plus).

Big Advantages

Experience with Agentic AI systems.
Prior experience in early-stage startups.
