Careers. We’re recruiting the first cognitive cartographers.
Aetherya is in search of exceptional researchers, engineers, and operators committed to building measurable models of how people think and decide. We move fast, but with discipline and evidence. We think from first principles and execute with autonomy and accountability.
How We Work
Aetherya is a frontier cognitive simulation lab building computational models of human perception, behavior and decision-making.
Our research focuses on synthetic humans: persistent, behaviorally grounded agents capable of interpreting information, experiencing uncertainty, forming objections, changing beliefs and making decisions within simulated environments.
We combine foundation models with cognitive architectures, behavioral dynamics, population grounding and multi-agent simulation to study how individuals and groups react before real-world exposure.
Aetherya’s technology is used to simulate products, advertisements, websites, messages and strategic decisions across diverse synthetic populations.
Our objective is to establish cognitive simulation as a new research and software category, moving beyond static personas, surveys and isolated LLM responses toward dynamic, measurable models of human behavior.
Open Roles
We are intentionally building a small team and expect to hire only a handful of exceptional people across these roles. Every role begins equity-first, with a written path to full-time.
Research
2 open rolesOwn the scientific translation of human cognition into mechanisms that synthetic agents can execute, expose and test.
Build the empirical system that determines where Aetherya’s synthetic populations are credible, where they fail and how they improve.
Engineering
3 open rolesTurn cognition models, populations and psychological mechanisms into heterogeneous synthetic behavior.
Turn cognitive simulation technology into products people want to use and businesses will pay for.
Turn simulation concepts into reliable, reusable and scalable simulation infrastructure.
Commercial
1 open roleConvert high-quality commercial opportunities into long-term Aetherya customers.
Growth
1 open roleBuild growth engine from ground up, and make cognitive simulation understood, desired and hard to ignore.
Join UsWe’re building the instruments needed for the world’s most important launches to be understood before they happen.
