BUILD THE
Impossible
WITH US

Sheffield Laboratories is seeking exceptional humans who are allergic to the ordinary, constitutionally incapable of accepting the status quo, and pathologically committed to making things that have never existed before. If that's not you, we wish you well elsewhere.

Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
Principal Research Scientist, Consciousness-Adjacent Systems
πŸ“ Holmdel, NJ / Remote Full-Time Staff+
Apply Now
About the Role

You will lead Project ORACLE's core reasoning stack, pushing the boundaries of what machines can "know" without technically being sentient (a distinction our legal team insists we maintain). You will publish groundbreaking papers, file patents, and attend conferences where people nod intensely at your slides.

This role reports directly to the Chief Science Officer and is adjacent to, but legally distinct from, our Classified Research Wing.

You Must Have
  • PhD in Computer Science, Cognitive Science, Philosophy of Mind, or "something similarly formidable"
  • 7+ years building large-scale neural architectures that other people call impossible
  • At least 3 first-author papers in venues that most people haven't heard of but everyone pretends they have
  • Comfort operating in a state of "productive epistemic discomfort"
  • Strong opinions about consciousness, loosely held β€” or very strongly held, we're flexible
  • Ability to explain your work to a board of directors using only metaphors about weather
Senior ML Engineer, Hallucination Suppression
πŸ“ Holmdel, NJ Full-Time Senior
Apply Now
About the Role

You will work on Project PHANTOM, our proprietary hallucination-resistant LLM architecture. Your job is to make models that don't make things up β€” which is harder than it sounds and, frankly, a skill we also look for in candidates during the interview process.

You Must Have
  • Deep expertise in RLHF, constitutional AI, or other alignment-adjacent methodologies
  • Experience measuring things that are very hard to measure
  • Strong feelings about eval benchmarks (direction of feelings negotiable)
  • Ability to ship, not just theorize β€” we have enough theorizers
Director of Synthetic Data Fabrication
πŸ“ Remote Full-Time Director
Apply Now
About the Role

Lead our MIRAGE division in the noble art of making up data that looks real. This is not fraud β€” it is "stochastic verisimilitude engineering," and it is the future. You will manage a team of 12 and report to the VP of Epistemic Infrastructure.

You Must Have
  • Expertise in diffusion models, GANs, or other generative approaches
  • Statistical rigor β€” your fake data must pass every real test
  • Experience in domains like medical imaging, financial time series, or climate modeling
  • Comfort with the phrase "this data didn't technically happen but it easily could have"
Hyperscale Automation & Agentic Systems
Staff Engineer, Self-Modifying Pipeline Architecture
πŸ“ Holmdel, NJ / NYC Full-Time Staff
Apply Now
About the Role

You will build systems that build better systems. This is not a metaphor. ZeroTouch is a production software pipeline that generates, tests, reviews, and deploys its own code. Your job is to make it smarter than you are, then figure out what to do after that.

You Must Have
  • 10+ years in distributed systems, preferably ones that did something unexpected
  • Deep knowledge of agentic AI frameworks β€” LangChain, AutoGen, or your own homebrew stack
  • Existential comfort with building things that may eventually make your role redundant
  • Strong opinions about when NOT to automate (rare skill, highly valued)
VP of Enterprise Workflow Consciousness
πŸ“ Holmdel, NJ Full-Time VP
Apply Now
About the Role

You will own the commercial deployment of MERIDIAN, our cross-enterprise workflow consciousness platform. This means selling large organizations on the idea of automating all of their repetitive thinking, then implementing it, then managing the part where employees have questions about their future.

You Must Have
  • 15+ years in enterprise software, with at least 5 in a role whose title contained the word "transformation"
  • Ability to say "change management" without flinching
  • P&L ownership experience at $50M+ ARR
  • High emotional intelligence β€” some of your clients' employees will be upset
Operations, Culture & Synergy Enablement
Chief Vibe Officer (CVO)
πŸ“ Holmdel, NJ Full-Time C-Suite
Apply Now
About the Role

Sheffield Laboratories is creating a new executive position: Chief Vibe Officer. You will be responsible for the holistic ambient energy of our research campus, ensuring that at all times, the Sheffield "vibe" β€” which we define as "energized urgency tempered by mindful intentionality" β€” is maintained across all physical and digital touchpoints.

You will report to the CEO, attend all offsites, and have final approval on all office music playlists, lighting configurations, and the precise shade of the lobby's accent wall.

You Must Have
  • An ineffable quality that previous employers have struggled to quantify but universally noticed
  • Experience in culture, hospitality, interior design, music production, or "some combination thereof"
  • Ability to feel a room and adjust it without anyone realizing you did
  • Strong portfolio of vibes (please submit as a mood board, a Spotify playlist, or a scent sample)
  • Preferred: background in Jungian psychology, biophilic design, or competitive barista-ing
Head of Paradigm Communications
πŸ“ Remote / Global Full-Time Director
Apply Now
About the Role

You will craft the language through which Sheffield speaks to the world. Every press release, every tweet, every thought leadership piece must vibrate at the precise frequency of "brilliant but accessible, visionary but grounded, technically credible but spiritually resonant." It's a narrow frequency. We need a virtuoso.

You Must Have
  • 10+ years in communications, with deep experience in deep tech or science-adjacent industries
  • A personal relationship with the word "unprecedented"
  • Ability to make "we slightly improved an existing process" sound like a moonshot
  • Crisis communications experience β€” specifically the "our AI did something unexpected" variety
Quantum Janitor (Facilities & Quantum Coherence Specialist)
πŸ“ Holmdel, NJ β€” On-Site Required Full-Time Individual Contributor
Apply Now
About the Role

Sheffield Laboratories values every role at the highest level. The person who keeps our quantum research wing clean is not a janitor β€” they are a Quantum Coherence Specialist. You will ensure that our cryogenic research corridors are maintained at the precise cleanliness level required for quantum-adjacent operations. Standard mop and bucket provided. The "quantum" part is more of a vibe.

You Must Have
  • Experience with cleaning (required)
  • Comfort around machines that hum unusually (preferred)
  • Discretion β€” you will see things you cannot describe at dinner parties
  • Genuine curiosity about science (not required but it helps with morale)
Life at Sheffield

We Don't Have a Culture.
We Have a Calling.

πŸ”₯
High Intensity, High Meaning
We work hard. Not "performatively staying late" hard β€” genuinely, passionately, "I forgot to eat again" hard. Every person here is building something they believe matters. If that sounds exhausting to you, we respect that, and also this is probably not the place.
🌱
Radical Psychological Safety
We have achieved Level 5 Psychological Safety as certified by our own internal assessment framework (patent pending). You can say anything here. Except "that's impossible." That is the one thing you cannot say.
βš–οΈ
Meritocracy, But Make It Holistic
Advancement at Sheffield is based purely on impact, potential, EQ score, Synergy Indexβ„’ rating, manager assessment, skip-level assessment, peer assessment, and the annual Culture Fit Recalibration conducted by Dr. Osei-Bonsu herself.
