What You’ll Do
Community engagement: own academic event sponsorships, speaking submissions, and conference presence - from strategy through to on-the-ground execution.
Event marketing: You will be organizing technical roundtables, sponsoring hackathons, engaging in Hugging Face/Discord communities, and distributing technical white papers that solve actual engineering problems.
Technical storytelling: You will translate our platform’s capabilities into the language of the researcher. You aren't talking about "surveys"; you are talking about "reducing hallucination rates via high-quality RLHF" and "adversarial testing workflows."
Team communication: You will meet with our SF research team and C-Suite weekly to discuss the latest ideas, our pressing issues, and next steps.
No-busywork mentality: You are comfortable vibe-coding and adapting to the latest tools to optimize your work. The second you recognize a repeatable workflow, you're in Claude code automating it.
Bias to action: You will operate with a high-level of agency. This means not every initiative will be discussed or thought out. We're looking for someone comfortable in failure, but can come to us with a list of initiatives where you tried something, measured the impact, and either doubled down or quit - all without permission.
Data-driven: You make data driven decisions. Like any marketplace, problems can balloon at scale. It's vital we track LTV, CAC, and measure everything to ensure we make informed decisions.
Research-background: You are a masters or PhD student and are an active member of your schools research community.
While you will work remotely, we will host quarterly all-hands at our office in downtown SF
Compensation: Monthly stipend + budget to host events. You will also get a commission for all the experts you onboard from your campus.
Terac culture: Between weekly presentations, company hackathons, and an AI-first mindset, you'll be working with one of the most innovative teams on the planet.
Growth opportunities: You're joining Terac at one of the earliest stages and will have an opportunity to join the company full-time upon graduation.
