Mid-Level Software Engineer — Refine

Refine is building the referee your research deserves. We've cracked the problem that general-purpose AI can't solve: spotting mathematical errors, empirical specification mistakes, and logical gaps in academic papers at scale. Researchers at 1,000+ institutions—including central banks and financial institutions—trust us to catch what single-pass tools miss.

What You'll Do

• Design and optimize our parallelized multi-agent LLM pipeline, orchestrating domain-tuned workflows that process papers with hours of compute for substance-level review
• Build and improve model routing logic across multiple LLM providers using LiteLLM (we maintain a fork), balancing cost, latency, and accuracy
• Develop backend systems that handle encrypted storage, SOC2 and ISO 27001 compliance, and reliable processing for high-stakes academic feedback
• Collaborate on infrastructure that scales from pilot deployments to institution...
