Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
You will independently lead research workstreams focused on agent learning, recursive self-improvement, and the development of enterprise-grade AI agents. This involves designing end-to-end research projects, building improvement flywheels, and partnering with cross-functional teams to deploy validated methods into production systems.
The role requires a PhD or equivalent advanced degree with over 10 years of relevant AI/ML research experience. Candidates must demonstrate strong foundations in machine learning, proficiency in Python and PyTorch, and a proven track record of leading high-impact research efforts.
It all started when engineer Fred Luddy wrote code that automated a tedious task for his coworker, Phyllis. She cried tears of joy. That moment inspired Fred to build a company that could do that for everyone—freeing people from busywork so they could focus on meaningful work. Today, ServiceNow is the AI control tower for business reinvention. Our ServiceNow AI platform brings together any AI, any data, and any workflow— helping 85% of the Fortune 500® work smarter, faster, and better. We're building an AI-native culture where technology and talent are unstoppable together. And we're just getting started.
Join us to put AI to work for people.
About the team
Our Core AI Research team develops novel methods for enterprise agents that reason over multimodal information, use tools, take reliable action across stateful workflows, and improve through feedback. We work across LLM model post-training, agent harnesses, training environments, evaluations, ML, search and reasoning systems, partnering closely with product, engineering, infrastructure, security, and domain experts.
About the role
As a Staff Research Scientist, you will independently lead a major workstream in agent learning and recursive self-improvement. You will turn systematic failures and successful trajectories into hypotheses, experiments, training signals, and deployable improvements to model weights and/or the executable harness around the model.
This is a research role for someone who can move between scientific reasoning, training code, agent systems, and production constraints.
What you get to do in this role:
For positions in this location, we offer a base pay of $231,500 - $405,100, plus equity (when applicable), variable/incentive compensation and benefits.
