Why join Kairos?

Meaningful Impact

Work on one of the most important challenges facing humanity. Your work will directly support the researchers, organizers, operators, and founders the AI safety field needs.
Ownership

You'll own a program or a function end to end, set its direction, and hire into it as it grows. Several of the roles we're opening are the first of their kind here, so there's no playbook to inherit.
Growth Opportunities

Join a fast-growing organization where you'll have opportunities to learn, grow, and take on new challenges. We're hiring across the whole portfolio, and we expect people joining now to be managing teams as we scale through 2027.
High Trust

We're a small team that tries hard to figure out where we're wrong, which means we say uncomfortable things to each other and change our minds fairly often. We also think meaningful work should be enjoyable and take time to bond and celebrate wins.
