AI Infrastructure Engineer (with Events Experience)

About Apart Research

Apart Research is an AI safety nonprofit building the global talent pipeline for the AI safety ecosystem. Our remote hackathons and fellowships have become a primary on-ramp into empirical AI safety. In just the last two years, we've engaged 7,000+ participants across 50+ global research Sprints (hackathons), and we have published 30+ peer-reviewed AI safety papers, including two oral spotlights at ICLR 2025 (top 1.8% of accepted papers), through our fellowships.

Our alumni now work at Anthropic, Google DeepMind, the UK AI Security Institute, and dozens of other labs, government bodies, and AI safety orgs.

We're at an inflection point. Our hackathons currently draw around 400 signups each, and we want to 5x that by the end of 2026 while launching more events better and faster. Achieving this requires investing in the engineering and operational backbone needed to run more and larger events at higher quality.

We are looking for an AI engineer excited to make high-impact events happen (ideally with real events experience), building the infrastructure and tooling that make the manual work disappear.

Diversity and inclusion

We're committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. We particularly encourage applications from women, people of colour, and neurodivergent applicants. Reasonable adjustments are available at any stage of the process. Contact careers@apartresearch.com if you need any.

You'll be defining how we build it for the next several years rather than filling a slot in someone else's plan. You'll work alongside the CEO and the Operations Coordinator.

You will:

  • Build the AI tooling that lets us scale our programs with the same ops headcount. Write and maintain software to eliminate team bottlenecks and accelerate our programs.

  • Create dashboards providing real-time visibility into progress, results, and program status, while upgrading our current stack: AWS, Notion, Discord, Google Workspace and Claude Code.

  • Automate repetitive coordination work including outreach, communications and other operations.

  • Collaborate with Apart, and external, researchers to understand talent sources, participant bottlenecks and data flows before designing solutions.

  • Lift the quality bar of every event we run, drawing on your direct events experience.

  • Apply agile methodologies to accelerate delivery and improve quality, not just through standard Apart Sprints (hackathons), but by rapidly piloting new programs within frameworks that allow us to assess impact and quickly decide whether to pivot or scale.

  • Set the technical direction for program ops at Apart for the next years.
