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. When benchmarked on HaluEval, the CTGT Policy Engine (paired with GPT-120B OSS) outperformed frontier models (Gemini 3 Pro Preview, Claude 4.5 Opus and 4.5 Sonnet) at drastically lower compute cost.
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
CTGT's mission is to deploy high-performance model governance at enterprise scale. This places rigorous requirements on our system. Our Policy Engine must produce decisions that are correct, fast, and reliably auditable, you will ensure it stays that way as load grows and the platform expands into new environments. This standard is set everywhere in the system, not at a single layer: where governance decisions are computed and persisted, where correctness has to hold under concurrent load, and where early design choices either compound into leverage or into debt.
This role is for the engineer who owns the system. You will make the architectural decisions that shape how the platform evolves, and you will write the code that proves those decisions were right. The work rewards strong judgment about what to build, what to defer, and what to throw away. It demands the ability to hold a large system in your head and keep it coherent as it grows.
