Product Engineer
San Francisco, CA
unspecified Salary not disclosedProduct Engineer San Francisco, CA About Goodfire Goodfire is a research company using interpretability to understand, learn from, and design AI systems. Our mission is to build the next generation of safe and powerful AI-not by scaling alone, but by understanding the intelligence we're building. Scaling has proven powerful, but today's approach is fundamentally limited: we can't meaningfully understand, debug, or shape what models learn. Every engineering discipline has been gated by fundamental science and AI is at that inflection point now. We're advancing the science of how AI systems actually work. Treating models as black boxes is an unnecessary handicap-we have access to the structures inside them, and understanding those structures lets us steer what models learn, make them safer and more useful, and extract the vast knowledge they contain. Our goal is to make AI that can be understood, debugged, and shaped like software. Goodfire is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco with a team of the world's top interpretability researchers and engineers from organizations like OpenAI and DeepMind. We're backed by over $200M from B Capital, Menlo Ventures, Lightspeed, Eric Schmidt, and others. About the role We're looking for Product Engineers to help build the core product experience for training, evaluating, debugging, and deploying interpretable AI systems at scale. You'll play a central role in turning Goodfire's research and platform capabilities into products that people can actually use: clear interfaces, reliable workflows, developer tools, and product surfaces that make model internals understandable and actionable.
