Ought is an applied research lab building Elicit, a GPT-3-based research assistant for questions about the future.

Today, researchers and policy analysts use Elicit to find relevant publications for a literature review, find datasets, or brainstorm research questions that are interesting to their audience. Researchers can define new tasks by showing Elicit just a few examples of the task being done. Elicit then scales those tasks to thousands of publications and datasets.

The Role and Your Impact:

• Build intuitive interfaces that let research analysts use language models as tools for thought
• Contribute to high-impact decisions concerning design, product, and engineering

What You May Bring:

• Very comfortable building UIs with React (preferred) or Vue.js
• Always looking for ways to improve design, UI, UX, even when working with a designer
• Excited about optimizing the structure of a React frontend
• Excited about organizing CSS in a large, growing project (should we use CSS-in-JS? BEM? something else?)
• Excited to work in an fast-paced environment with a lot of design and product iteration

Bonus If You Have:

• Familiarity with React hooks, TypeScript, Redux, Material-UI, testing frameworks
