About Macroscopic Ventures We’re a team of 14 deploying up to $100 million this year to fund work on some of the most important problems in the world. We make grants and investments across artificial intelligence (governance, policy, welfare, and cooperative AI), societal long-term risks (reducing risks from fanatical ideologies and malevolent actors), and animal welfare. We’re growing fast and expect to deploy significantly more capital in the years ahead. We're a small, value-aligned team. We move quickly, give people real ownership, and pair unconventional thinking with careful deliberation and common-sense judgment. The problems we work on are cutting-edge and often unprecedented — risks and opportunities most institutions haven't started thinking about. Your contributions make an immediate, tangible difference, and you'll have ample room to grow alongside colleagues who care deeply about getting this right. What we look for We hire for character first, abilities second, and skills third. Skills can be taught; character is what you bring every day. Across all roles, we're drawn to people who are meticulous and thorough — who close loops and leave things documented, checked, and ready for someone else to pick up. People with high integrity who flag problems early, even when it's uncomfortable. People who are intellectually curious about the problems we work on, calm under pressure, and able to tell the difference between a situation that demands exhaustive care and one that demands a good-enough answer quickly. We value operational judgment and clear thinking over credentials and tenure. Strong fundamentals and genuine interest in the work matter more to us than years of experience or formal qualifications. What we offer Outsized impact. We're a small team deploying serious capital to some of the most important and neglected problems in the world. The work you do here has direct, visible consequences. Real ownership. We hire people we trust and give them room to work. You won't own a narrow slice — you'll understand how the pieces fit together. Intellectually interesting problems. No two weeks are the same. We operate at the frontier of emerging fields where few precedents exist and careful, creative thinking is what moves things forward. Scope to grow. We're growing, and we want people who grow with us. Competitive compensation. We pay fairly, with packages discussed during the interview process. Flexibility. Remote-friendly with a focus on outcomes, not hours. Staying in touch We don't always have open roles, but we're always interested in meeting exceptional people. If Macroscopic's work resonates with you, we'd encourage you to submit an expression of interest. We review submissions on a rolling basis and will reach out if something looks like a strong fit. Due to the volume of interest we receive, we aren't able to respond to every application — but every submission is reviewed.
