HR Business Partner

Thinking Machines Lab is dedicated to empowering humanity through advancing collaborative general intelligence. The HR Business Partner will coach managers, provide strategic support on performance and team dynamics, and design people systems to enhance talent management as the company scales.

Responsibilities:

• Coach managers by observing how they lead, identifying strengths and blind spots, and working on continuous improvement
• Advise leadership on organizational decisions: team structure, succession planning, and strategic people choices that shape how we work
• Design compensation structures that let us compete for the best machine learning talent in the world while staying aligned on values and principles
• Create career/leveling frameworks that work for a research lab where career advancement often doesn’t mean managing people, contributions such as mentorship and taste are harder to measure, and where senior researchers expect to grow and learn even after a decade in the role
• Build feedback and evaluation processes that help people improve, not just get measured
