Welcome to Work at AI Lab
Most job boards are a search bar in front of a pile of listings. This one is a search bar in front of a list of labs, which is the more useful pile.
If you know the big names, you already know where to look. The fun is in the long tail: the labs you've never heard of, hiring for things you didn't know existed. A lab never shows up in a normal job feed unless it pays to, so I went and collected them myself.
What I'm trying to do
Put every open role at every AI lab in one search, then send you straight to the lab's own application page. No middlemen, no "Quick Apply" button, which is just a fancy way of saying they'll hold your CV for later.
Who we track
Labs of every kind: frontier labs, Big Tech AI, research institutes, infrastructure, applied AI, robotics, defense, bio and science, and quant finance. The Labs page explains what counts as one.
Each lab has one connector to its job board: Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Workable, or a custom page. The custom ones are the fun ones. Some just need a plain HTTP fetch, others need a headless browser to render the page first, and an LLM fills in the fields for each new job.
I track English-language roles only. A lab comes on board when most of its open roles are in English, and any posting that's at least 75% non-English never gets stored.
Who we don't track
- Postings that are mostly in another language
- Labs whose open roles are mostly in another language
Why it's built this way
- Labs are the unit of coverage. Coverage grows by onboarding labs, and the site shows what's actually being checked, not the roadmap.
- A failed fetch closes nothing. A job only closes when a successful run stops listing it. A broken connector would otherwise look like a mass layoff, and that's a bug nobody wants.
- Freshness is shown, not assumed. The homepage tells you when the boards were last swept.
- Applications go to the source. Every job links to the lab's own application page, so you apply where the job lives.
This is an early version with a lot of labs still to add. If you hit one I should be tracking, tell me. For the story behind it, read Why I launched Work at AI Lab.
Good hunting, and bring me a lab I've never heard of.
