We’d like to help applicants and hiring managers coordinate, so we’ve set up two hiring threads.
So: consider sharing your information if you are looking for work in EA!
Please use the format below.
EDIT: If there's anything else you think might be relevant — specific cause areas, full-time/part-time, when you're available, your experience with EA, what type of role you're looking for, ... — please add that in the 'Notes' section.
EDIT2: Added 'Available from and until' field
See Yonatan's tips on posting more effectively, and examples of a similar format on the latest similar thread on Hacker News.
This was inspired by the talks around an EA common application, especially this comment, and the "Who wants to be hired?" and "Who's hiring?" threads from the Hacker News forum.
We’re not sure how much it will help, or how we should improve future similar attempts. So if you have any feedback, we’d love to hear it. (Please leave it as a comment or message us.)

full-time, part-time or casualSenior Software Developer: 10+ years experience, full stack including embedded, hardware, performance optimizations, and some aspects of machine learning and data science.
Ex Apple.
Engineering lead for a startup that builds autonomous drones (real time image processing), building something cutting edge that beat the Boeing team in a competition by the U.S Air Force).
This is the person I chose to work with full time if I can, which is my way of saying "extremely good and trusted".
Open for part time work since we got an FTX grant, but, you know, it's gone. You'll get really good code while allowing us to keep working on more (in my opinion) very important things.

AMF is hiring software engineers. Our tech-stack is a bit more Microsoft-centric than your skills (using dotnet core, SQL server, ...) but I guess you could quickly pick up new skills and be effective. I came from a quite similar background as you when I joined AMF.
Location: New Jersey, USA
Remote: Yes
Willing to relocate: Likely Yes
Skills:
- Machine Learning (Python, TensorFlow, Sklearn): Familiar with creating custom NNs in Keras, properly using packaged ML algorithms, and (mostly) knowing what to use and when. I haven’t reproduced an ML paper in full, but probably could after a decent amount of time. I am in the process of submitting a paper on ensemble learning for splice site prediction to IEEE Access (late submission).
- Python, R, HTML, CSS: I am competent in Python (5 years experience), and am familiar with R, HTML, and CSS. My website: https://rodeoflagellum.github.io
- Forecasting: Top 75 on Metaculus (rank 54). I believe I am slightly above average at making and updating forecasts. Look through my comments for some applications of time series models. 1st place FluSight Challenge (influenza forecasting)
- Writing: Examples (many incomplete) can be found on my website. One is the essay I wrote on Forecasting Designer Babies, which placed among the top submissions in the Impactful Forecasting Prize (on EAF). I am current writing about people attitudes towards human gene-editing.
- Education: BA Math and Neuroscience
Resume: Available upon request
Email: rodeoflagellum AT gmail DOT com
Further Notes:
- Cause Areas: (presently) Longtermism / Global Priorities / X-Risk Reduction > AI Alignment > Biosecurity > Global Health and Wellbeing. I am interested in the notion of "civilizational stability and resilience", but am too unfamiliar with work in this area to comment further.
- Availability: Likely available 1 month post-offer (July). Very likely available 2 months post-offer.
- Roles I'm Looking For: Full time remote research work that involves some mix of forecasting, modeling, math/statistics, tool building, and data analysis, but predominantly involves literature review and synthesis.
- Experience with EA: Lurker on EAF since early 2018. Helped create a student org. and lead X-risk discussions. Giving What We Can Pledge since 2021.

Hi, would you be interested in AMF's software engineer positions? We have Python-based data analysis tasks that you might find fun, and I bet you could pick up the rest of the tech stack quickly. I came to AMF from a similar background as you (Python/C++ @ Google) and found that many of the skills translated well into the new environment.
Yeah not a perfect fit for my current niche, but I have no problem picking up new techs and even coded some C# in school, so I'll definitely apply!

Notes: My background prior to finance and economics is mostly as an artist. I was a musician and lighting engineer in local theaters and night clubs. I loved my job, but decided to look for something with more stability that was altruistic in character.
My primary interest is in economics and research. I recently applied and was accepted for a volunteer analyst role at SoGive. I am considering pursuing a PhD and doing research tying physics to economics at a fundamental level.
My dream job is to be on a team creating a new school of economics that promotes long term stability, is integral with natural ecological systems, defeats corruption, and ameliorates poverty (Dream big, right?). A second dream job is to be on a team that creates an online platform for direct democracy and political accountability.

Résumé/CV/LinkedIn:
Email: [email protected]
Notes: I am interested in a variety of cause areas, such as: Climate change, AI, global poverty and education, and global peace. I've invested many hours in studying sustainable architecture.
I am growing more and more familiar with EA every day, and I've completed the 80K career guide as well as an "Intro to EA" cohort. I plan on applying to become a facilitator and taking the intensive course in the next few months.
Although my career experience is in copywriting, my passion is connecting with and helping people. I am currently taking a Community Foundations course through C School; this courser is teaching me all about online communities and how to make them successful. Ideally, I'm looking for work in community-related spaces that work toward EA causes.
That said, I'm also open to content-writing work, but as more of an editor and advisor on content. Not so much the writing.

Email: liav dot koren gmailHi! I'm Francisco, a 2x founder, ML researcher, and software engineer looking to learn from an AI-safety-minded team that will let me combine my academic ML studies with software engineering to support research or a system in production. I'm sure I can help any team ship with my generalist skills and pragmatism inherited from handling operations myself in the companies I started.
Beyond ML roles, I am also excited about working on systems that improve the internet (as you would at e.g. Protocol Labs, or Mozilla) and I am passionate about tools-for-thought and PKM (e.g. Roam, Notion, Obsidian).

Notes:
Medic from Australia who has taken an indefinite step back from clinical medicine, with a view to pursuing higher impact opportunities. Rlocated from Australia for now (currently floating around Europe).
Essentially willing and able to donate my skills / time in a remote sense or in a particular location for the right opportunity. I’m in the position where I could take or leave employment, I'm mostly motivated by the right experience / opportunity, whether that is paid or not. Well-placed for any remote work but similarly flexible in relocating for the right opportunity.
Background in medicine, science and research, so plenty of relevant experience in research in general as well as more niche experience in health care. Studying a masters of bioethics. Various previous mental health advocacy roles. Limited background with writing / editing, having worked as an editor for a website prior and really interested in broadening my writing and journalism skills.
I think I could also be a really good fit for more general roles like operations / community building / stakeholder engagement, although these are untested hunches. I’ve also had previous on the ground roles in low and middle income countries, so I’d be willing and happy to do any sort of more direct roles (ie ops / community liaison etc) for any EA, should this be useful / needed.
Interest in many cause areas but specifically global health and development / global mental health / climate change / AI ethics (particular the ethics of human interface with and use of AI tools).
If you or anybody you know think I could be a good niche or general fit for your project / organisation and want some help, let me know! Maybe come work with me at CE! It's fun and impactful and challenging: https://www.charityentrepreneurship.com/research-analyst
(Here's the team: https://youtu.be/51kOKmkAZg4)
I hope to! ;) I have an application in for the RA position at the moment - fingers crossed!

Hi Amber, this post was meant to be May - September, so I'm afraid not many people will see it :(
I don't know of a better place to post this, but keep in mind that it's unlikely you'll get any views here.
Thanks! Do you plan to make a new thread for November+? It seems like a good idea.
I also posted something recently here,
And if there's a new post (which I'd encourage!), I have a few opinions on things to maybe improve (though I think the current version is really good, this is not a complaint)
Hey Yonatan! Please share them! The forum team is working on these things afaik (even if mostly on the job ads side)
Also commenting to see if there are plans to create a new "Who wants to be hired?" thread - as I think it could be very beneficial to job-seekers like me!
I don't know of any immediate plans, maybe we can make a post but not pin it?
Of the 46 people that replied to me from this thread, 4 found something, but
- one was a short-term collaboration
- one gives a 70% chance they would have been contacted anyway, he had already met the employer at a conference
- one was both a short-term collaboration, and they don't think they were contacted because of this thread
- one was a three-month contract
And 10 people found an EA job through other means:
- One from an org they were volunteering at
- One from posting in an EA Facebook group
- One after applying to various org following an 80k 1-1 advice session
I think most of the others were the results of directly applying to things, so I would recommend the approach in When in doubt, apply .
Hey everyone,
Since I can't find an October thread, I'm posting here.
I'm a Berlin (Germany) based IT freelancer looking for innovative and impactful projects. My work so far has mostly been with corporate clients, and I'd like to change that.
My background is in mathematics (finance), but I've been working as an IT consultant and software engineer for the last 5 years.
There are no hard constraints on duration and workload from my side, my current client is happy to book any vacancies.
I haven't made them any promises for 2023 yet, but that will change by the end of November. Please contact me soon if you are interested!

Hi, my name is Alix.
I graduated from ETH Zürich and Ecole Polytechnique (France) with a Biomedical Engineering MSc in 2021. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. focused on the gut microbiota: I am not actively looking for a job, but would very much like to find something much more impactful than what I am doing right now.

Boasting a diverse background in publishing, media, and the arts developed in prior years, my strengths span writing/copywriting, editing, digital storytelling, marketing/PR, and project coordination, with special skills in teaching/training and relationship development. My mission: to use these skills, collaborating with passionate others, to explain, explore, and inspire solutions to today's problems and improve lives. I am working remotely, at least temporarily, from Southeast Asia.
