About CTGT & The Mission
Despite massive investment in commercial AI, organizations often find that demonstrated value is elusive, primarily due to the non-deterministic risk inherent to generative models. CTGT is the deterministic governance layer that enables the most important global institutions to deploy AI workflows with confidence.
Born out of Stanford University research, we provide the control plane that makes it possible. A lightweight, model-agnostic system that enforces policy, prevents drift, and produces auditable decisions in real time.
While we sit on the edge of AI research, CTGT brings frontier intelligence into real-world environments. We apply cutting-edge theory directly in production to make large language models more reliable, controllable, and performant in practice.
Our mission is to bring models to the level of performance and accountability required by the Fortune 500. By bridging the gap between LLM capabilities and domain-specific requirements, we unlock the true potential of generative AI to solve the most pressing problems in our world today.
The Role
A new open-source model is released and you are compelled to reach inside and understand how it actually works. You instinctively try to push it beyond what most people say is already impressive. You observe model behavior and don’t think, “What’s a better prompt?”, but “How do I improve its fundamentals?”
CTGT’s Senior Machine Learning Engineer will operate deep within the model stack, working directly with weights, activations, and architectures to build the systems that make AI governance deterministic. Your work powers the Policy Engine, the core technology that gives enterprises real-time, auditable control over model behavior in production. Your mandate is ostensibly simple but difficult in execution: determine how a model can be improved for a specific purpose and build the systems that operationalize that within our platform.
As opposed to simply using models, you will probe the mechanics of their cognition.
