About Us
Our mission is to raise AGI with the richness of human intelligence — curious, witty, imaginative, and full of unexpected brilliance.
Surge was founded by engineers and researchers who dreamed of building the next generation AI. We're building a platform that powers the most powerful models in the world in partnership with companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Google.
At Surge, we believe the path to AGI isn't just about scaling compute—it's about embracing the unlimited ceiling of human intelligence and creativity in the data that shapes these systems. Our platform combines elite human expertise with cutting-edge tools for scalable oversight, from building rich RL environments to conducting rigorous evaluations that go beyond benchmarks. We've run a profitable business from day one without raising venture funding.
What We’re Looking for
- You love shipping new products quickly. Whether you are building beautiful interfaces that help users gather and explore their data, or a system for processing data at scale, you take ownership and iterate quickly.
- You care about the problems we’re trying to solve. You're interested in helping make the next generation of AI models safer and more useful.
- You’re excited about joining a small team. We value autonomy and empower people to do the best work of their career.
Some Examples of the Problems We’re Solving
- How can we use the latest AI advances to help make complex annotation tasks more efficient without compromising quality?
- We communicate the results of model evaluations and showcase insights from complex datasets to our clients. What’s the best way to provide this information as efficiently as possible?
- Our data is used to train the next generation of large language models, and our Surgers are expected to read and retain complex documents to understand the rules around safety and helpfulness. What does a product that communicates these instructions in a more interactive way look like?
Additional Qualifications
- Knowledge of database systems, including database security and secure API design.
- Familiarity with the security protocols, standards, and frameworks required to develop secure web applications (e.g., OWASP Top Ten, OAuth, JWT).
- Strong problem-solving and debugging skills, including the ability to troubleshoot and optimize the performance of web applications.
How to Apply
To apply, please email [email protected] with a resume and 2-3 sentences describing your interest in Surge. We love personal projects and writings too!
