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 hiring a Head of Compute to own the strategy behind one of the most critical resources at the company: our compute for model training, research, and customers. You'll own everything from how we allocate our compute to how we source capacity, whether that's renting, partnering, or owning our own GPUs. You’ll make the calls that determine how far our world-class research and product ambitions can go.
We're looking for someone who can navigate GPU scarcity and partner negotiations with rigor, and moves with exceptional urgency. You'll need strong judgment to balance competing demands and the conviction to make hard trade-offs rather than split the difference. You may be the right fit if you find the intersection of infrastructure, strategy, and high-stakes resource allocation exhilarating.
Key responsibilities
Own Goodfire’s compute strategy across training, research, and customer workloads
Build and execute our compute sourcing strategy, deciding when to rent, partner, or own GPUs. Continuously optimize for cost, reliability, and strategic flexibility
Secure the compute capacity and pricing that protect our ambitions under real GPU scarcity
Own the economics of compute end-to-end, including vendor negotiations, contract strategy, capacity planning, utilization, and long-term impact
Partner closely with research and product teams to translate roadmaps into concrete compute requirements and ensure infrastructure never becomes a bottleneck
Build forecasting models that anticipate compute demand and enable confident long-term planning
Partner with finance and leadership on capital allocation, investment decisions, and infrastructure strategy
Our values
Goodfire is looking for individuals who embody our values and share our deep commitment to making interpretability accessible. We are building a team first and foremost.
Put mission and team first
All we do is in service of our mission. We trust each other, deeply care about the success of the organization, and choose to put our team above ourselves.
Improve constantly
We are constantly looking to improve every piece of the business. We proactively critique ourselves and others in a kind and thoughtful way that translates to practical improvements in the organization. We are pragmatic and consistently implement the obvious fixes that work.
Take ownership and initiative
There are no bystanders here. We proactively identify problems and take full responsibility over getting a strong result. We are self-driven, own our mistakes, and feel deep responsibility over what we’re building.
Action today
We have a small amount of time to do something incredibly hard and meaningful. The pace and intensity of the organization is high. If we can take action today or tomorrow, we will choose to do it today.
Where we work
We are hiring for this position in our San Francisco office who’d be onsite 5 days a week.
What we offer
This role offers market competitive salary, equity, and competitive benefits.
The expected salary range for this position is $400-500k.
This role reports to our CEO.
Most importantly, you'll have the opportunity to join a vital mission at an important point in its trajectory — we are developing groundbreaking technology with a world-class team on the critical path to ensuring a safe and beneficial future for humanity. If you want to do your life’s work with us, even if you believe you do not meet every single requirement, apply now.

About the role
We're looking for an Events Lead to design the moments where Goodfire's work becomes tangible to the most technical people in AI. This role demands taste, operational rigor, and strategic judgment: the ability to create events that feel high-signal, deeply relevant, and worth attending for researchers, engineers, and technical executives.
This is a cross-functional role where you will own our events strategy end to end: intimate dinners, research salons, conference programs, field events, partner gatherings, and the systems that turn those moments into lasting relationships. You won't be optimizing a legacy events calendar; you'll be building the event motion for a new category.
Our audience is selective and highly technical. You'll need to understand what they care about, partner closely with research, GTM, and field teams, and execute with enough precision that every event advances our market narrative, strengthens relationships, and creates meaningful pipeline.
Key responsibilities
Own the events strategy and calendar: identify the moments, formats, audiences, and geographies where Goodfire should show up
Design high-signal experiences: create events that feel substantive to AI researchers, ML engineers, CTOs, Heads of AI, and other deeply technical buyers
Execute with precision: manage vendors, budgets, run-of-show, speaker prep, attendee experience, follow-up, and every operational detail that determines quality
Build targeted invite and attendance strategy: partner with GTM, demand gen, and field teams to reach the right accounts and convert attendance into relationship momentum
Measure and improve the motion: connect events to pipeline, account engagement, market learning, and repeatable playbooks for future programs
What you’ll bring
Required experience
Experience planning and executing high-quality B2B events, field marketing programs, community programs, or executive gatherings.
Strong project management skills and the ability to run many operational details without losing sight of strategy.
Excellent taste and audience judgment; you know how to make an event feel substantive, polished, and not generic.
Scrappiness, urgency, and comfort building a function from scratch in a fast-moving environment
Preferred qualifications
Experience creating events for technical audiences, developer communities, AI/ML teams, infrastructure buyers, or research organizations.
Background as an early events, field marketing, community, or demand generation hire at a high-growth startup.
Experience with conference strategy, speaker programming, executive dinners, private roundtables, or partner events.
Ability to translate event outcomes into account insights, pipeline reporting, and next-step GTM actions

About the role
We’re looking for a Vertical Lead to own and scale a vertical. This role demands an unusual range: the technical depth to architect novel solutions, the leadership to direct a team of engineers and research scientists, the emotional intelligence to form successful partner relationships, and the vision to launch and scale a new market.
This is an incredibly challenging and exciting role where you will operate like a founder: translating our platform into solutions and products, defining the market, and proving product-market fit. That means owning what we build, sell, and deliver, leading a forward-deployed team to create solutions, and managing partner relationships end to end: from scoping and sale through delivery and expansion.
This role turns frontier research into real-world impact, allowing our advances in the science of interpretability to unlock the promise of safe and powerful AI. You will typically be working with frontier companies in one of Life Sciences, Robotics and Vision, general Language and Reasoning models, or new verticals that we may focus on.
Your official title would be the specific vertical e.g. Robotics Lead.
Key responsibilities
Build and scale a vertical or domain: prove product-market fit, define solutions, win new prospects, and drive sustained growth
Own technical delivery: direct what we build and ensure it solves real problems for partners
Manage partnerships end-to-end: from initial scoping and sale, to delivering value and demonstrating impact, to securing renewals and expanding accounts
Lead a forward-deployed Field Team of engineers and research scientists to deliver technical solutions
Shape the platform into solutions: translate frontier interpretability research into repeatable products, platforms, or services that our deeply technical partners (Heads of AI, Heads of Research, CTOs) will want to buy
What you’ll bring
Required experience
Strong ability to combine technical fluency, product intuition, and customer understanding into high value, repeatable solutions.
Strong technical fluency and experience leading cross-functional, technical teams.
Strong understanding of modern AI technology.
Scrappiness, willingness to persist in ambiguity, ability to learn quickly, and a generalist “can-do” mindset.
Preferred qualifications
Experience as a founder, general manager or highly field facing product manager or engineering manager.
Deep domain experience in a vertical where companies are training models (or attempting to). Come with a perspective - we want to hear it!
Technical degree or equivalent professional experience within AI or Research
Track record of excellence in a high growth startup.
Experience working with frontier or open source models and understanding of model training.
Our values
