Member of Technical Staff

Job Title: Member of Technical Staff (Part-Time / Spring)Company: Archal LabsLocation: Remote / US-BasedCommitment: 20-25 hours/week

Archal Labs

Current SOTA models fail at basic Computer Use and agentic workflows because they lack the necessary data scaffolding for simple OS/Browser tasks. They hallucinate actions because they haven't seen enough high-quality, repaired traces of human workflows. We're solving this problem by building the data infrastructure for the next generation of Action Models. We are looking for a researcher to join us this Spring.

What You’ll Build

• Dynamic Benchmarking (Arch Engine): Existing benchmarks (OSWorld, WebArena) are static and gameable. We want to engineer benchmarks that are dynamic and reflective of real-world tasks.
• Data Scaffolding & SOTA Strategy: In general, doing research into increasing the value of each trace.
• Research & Validation: You will assist in writing technical whitepapers and validation studies.

Who You Are

• We're mainly looking for PhD students but cracked undergraduates are fine.
• You've ideally worked in technical roles at Surge/Scale/Mercor, but this isn't required. Papers on computer use or RL are cool.
• You must be a US Citizen. We can't sponsor F-1/CPT/OPT for this role.
• We're looking at 20-25 hrs/week
