What You'll Do:  Architect next-generation AI systems that transform how organizations discover, evaluate, and develop human talent. You'll build sophisticated machine learning models that can identify high-potential candidates from unconventional backgrounds, predict job performance based on subtle behavioral indicators, and match people to roles where they'll thrive and make maximum impact. Your work involves developing natural language processing algorithms that can analyze resumes, cover letters, and interview responses to identify genuine passion and potential beyond traditional credentials.

The AI systems you build will help millions of talented individuals find opportunities that match their potential, while helping organizations build stronger, more diverse, and more effective teams. This is where human psychology meets data science, where you'll be developing technologies that can understand human potential in ways that traditional hiring methods never could. Your work will contribute to creating a more meritocratic world where talent is recognized regardless of background, and where people can find careers that truly align with their strengths and passions. The intersection of AI and human resources is one of the most impactful areas in technology today.

Join beach volleyball games with your fellow AI builders, attend networking events with successful entrepreneurs, and test your talent-matching algorithms with the diverse, international community that calls Bali home.
