About Amigo
We're helping enterprises build autonomous agents that reliably deliver specialized, complex services—healthcare, legal, and education—with practical precision and human-like judgment. Our mission is to build safe, reliable AI agents that organizations can genuinely depend on. We believe superhuman level agents will become an integral part of our economy over the next decade, and we've developed our own agent architecture to solve the fundamental trust problem in AI. Learn more here.
Role
As a Researcher in Simulations at Amigo, you'll develop the problem space models that drive our evolutionary chamber approach to agent improvement. Working as part of our Research team, you'll create sophisticated simulation environments that accurately represent complex domains and generate the precise evolutionary pressure needed for agents to evolve toward superhuman performance. Your research will establish the first layer of our three-layer iterative evolution approach, developing comprehensive domain representations that enable scientific discovery and validation. This role is critical for our Trust Center Framework and for solving the neighborhood expansion problem during our key 6-month strategic window.
Responsibilities
Design and develop advanced problem space simulation architectures that create precise evolutionary pressures for continuous agent improvement
Create simulator models that use significantly more computational resources to fully explore complex domains and problem spaces
Develop techniques for intelligent challenge generation that uncovers edge cases and boundary conditions in agent performance
Build frameworks that embed domain-specific intelligence within simulators to create realistic testing environments
Implement transparent reasoning mechanisms in simulators that provide clear audit trails for scenario generation
Design simulation persona systems that realistically model diverse user behaviors, intents, and interaction patterns
Research methods for efficiently generating thousands of targeted simulation scenarios that can be executed at scale
Create domain-specialized simulation approaches for high-stakes fields like healthcare, finance, and legal services
Develop simulation frameworks that support our scientific discovery approach: discovery + validation → better world model → more discovery
Collaborate with Verification researchers to ensure simulators integrate effectively with judge systems
Work with Agent researchers on solving the neighborhood expansion problem through simulation-driven discovery
Contribute to academic publications that establish our technical leadership in agent validation and evolution
Partner with engineering teams to implement research in production-ready simulation systems
Qualifications
PhD or equivalent research experience in AI, machine learning, simulation design, or related fields
Deep understanding of problem space modeling and synthetic environment creation for AI testing
Research experience in designing systems that can model complex domains and human behaviors
Background in creating comprehensive testing frameworks for complex AI systems
Strong knowledge of LLM capabilities and limitations, particularly related to reasoning and simulation
Experience with techniques for efficient scenario generation and automated testing
Understanding of evolutionary pressure design in AI improvement systems
Excellent research and analytical skills with the ability to design and run rigorous experiments
Strong programming skills for implementing complex simulation frameworks
Publication record in relevant conferences or journals preferred
Passion for building highly reliable AI that can be deployed in high-stakes domains
Location: NYC (Onsite)
