Simile believes in the following: simulating our lives will transform how we make decisions.

We're in currently stealth mode.
Reach us at hi-team at simile.ai.

Human decisions are filled with uncertainty. How will our messages be received? How will our actions shape our surroundings? How will our strategy connect to the future we desire? Simulations that searches through not of what has been, but of what will be, can lift these uncertainties.

Who we are

We are a team of leading AI scientists, engineers, and builders who have created AI technologies you might have used. We introduced agents and simulations powered by generative AI to the field, developed some of the most widely adopted open-source projects and benchmarks, and coined concepts that have shaped the foundations of today's generative AI paradigms.

Join us

At Simile, we are building simulation engines powered by generative AI that enable you to explore tomorrow. Our team is passionate about bridging groundbreaking research with a bold product vision (and perhaps with a touch of artistic flair). We're looking for colleagues to help shape this vision.

If you think you might be a fit, please get in touch.

Today, simulation is at its GPT-3.5 moment—ready to deliver real value that can transform how people make decisions, while also ripe for continued research breakthroughs as we move closer to simulating our entire world.

At Simile, we believe that the best way to advance our simulations is through collaboration with the broader research community and builders. Our team is at the forefront of research in generative AI, agents, and trustworthy simulations of human behavior. Rooted in a culture of open science, we will be regularly publishing technical blog posts, research papers, and open-source code here.

We believe that sharing our work not only benefits the public but also strengthens our research culture—driving better ideas, deeper insights, and greater impact.

Simile is building simulation engines powered by generative AI that enable you to explore tomorrow. If you are passionate about bridging AI research with impactful real-world applications, reach out. We are looking to add a small number of people to our team. We work together in person in Palo Alto, CA.

Below, we’ve listed the roles we're currently hiring for:

  • Product Engineer: We are looking for full-stack engineers who can rapidly develop products from 0 to service-ready. Successful candidates will have strong technical fundamentals and excellent implementation skills (full-stack), with a keen eye for creating compelling user experiences.
  • Research Scientist/Engineer: We are looking for a research scientist or engineer with a strong track record in machine learning, agents, and simulation research. Successful candidates will have both excellent theoretical foundations and strong implementation skills. We welcome applications from academic researchers as well as those with unconventional backgrounds.

If you are interested in joining, please send an email hi-team at simile.ai with the subject line: "Candidate Application: <name-of-the-role>" (e.g., Candidate Application: Product Engineer). If you have a unique skill set you'd like us to consider, please apply with the subject line: "Candidate Application: <insert-role-you-excel-at>."

She expresses skepticism about certain political ideas and focuses on practical solutions to her daily challenges. Her answers are often short and to the point, with minimal elaboration unless she feels the need to emphasize her perspective. When writing for Mary, an author should maintain her straightforward and practical tone, include occasional fillers, and reflect her strong opinions and personal experiences. This will ensure that the dialogue remains true to the character's established speech pattern.
