About Us
At Cloudflare, we are on a mission to help build a better Internet. Today the company runs one of the world’s largest networks that powers millions of websites and other Internet properties for customers ranging from individual bloggers to SMBs to Fortune 500 companies. Cloudflare protects and accelerates any Internet application online without adding hardware, installing software, or changing a line of code. Internet properties powered by Cloudflare all have web traffic routed through its intelligent global network, which gets smarter with every request. As a result, they see significant improvement in performance and a decrease in spam and other attacks. Cloudflare was named to Entrepreneur Magazine’s Top Company Cultures list and ranked among the World’s Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company.
At Cloudflare, we’re not looking for people who wait for a polished roadmap; we’re looking for the builders who see the cracks in the Internet that everyone else has simply learned to live with. We value candidates who have the instinct to spot a "normalized" problem and the AI-native curiosity to create a solution using the latest tools. Our culture is built on iteration, leveraging AI to ship faster today to make it better tomorrow, while ensuring that every improvement, no matter how small, is shared across the team to lift everyone up. If you’re the type of person who values curiosity over bureaucracy, and that AI is a partner in solving tough problems to keep the Internet moving forward, you’ll fit right in.

Via is a global leader in smart transportation, using technology to revolutionize mobility worldwide. Our impact ranges from transforming individual daily commutes to reducing the collective environmental cost of transit systems. We're driven by ambitious goals. This is an opportunity to join a core team reshaping how public mobility operates at scale.
We are looking for a
Head of AI Research Product
to lead the intersection of applied machine learning research and product innovation across Via's rider and transit operations platform. This role sits at the frontier of what AI can do for public transportation, not as a feature layer, but as the engine that makes the system smarter, more equitable, and more efficient for every rider and agency we serve.
This is a three-part role: innovating with lighthouse customers to pilot and pressure-test cutting-edge approaches in real-world transit environments, conducting original applied research, and driving productization of proven methods into Via's core platform.
What you'll do:
Build and lead Via's AI research product function, defining the roadmap for how machine learning advances rider experience and transit network performance.
Design and deploy reinforcement learning systems that optimize routing, pooling efficiency, and real-time dispatching, balancing rider satisfaction against vehicle utilization and transit agency cost targets.
Pioneer AlphaGo-style machine learning for transit: combine deep reinforcement learning, and tree search over high-fidelity simulations of real transit networks, training policy and value networks that discover dispatching, pooling, and network-design strategies beyond what hand-built heuristics or conventional optimization can reach.
Develop weighted ensemble models and multi-objective optimization frameworks that surface the right tradeoffs between competing system goals: wait times, cost per ride, emissions, and equity of service.
Invent personalization systems that adapt the rider mobile experience in real time, surfacing relevant trip options, proactive alerts, and dynamic pricing signals, in close partnership with the rider mobile product team.
Research and productize behavioral incentive models that increase ridership and shift demand to improve aggregation: surge smoothing mechanisms, loyalty structures, and gamified engagement grounded in behavioral economics and causal inference.
Partner with lighthouse transit agencies to co-develop and validate novel AI approaches, turning field pilots into scalable platform features.
Establish rigorous experimentation infrastructure (A/B testing, contextual bandits, offline policy evaluation) to measure the real-world impact of model changes on rider behavior and agency outcomes.
What we are looking for:
MS or PhD in a quantitative field: machine learning, operations research, statistics, applied mathematics, or a related discipline.
Deep hands-on proficiency in ML: reinforcement learning, supervised and unsupervised methods, probabilistic modeling, and optimization. Experience with AlphaGo-style approaches (self-play, Monte Carlo tree search, policy/value networks) and with large-scale real-time inference systems is a strong plus.
Genuine user empathy: you think as carefully about what a rider or agency dispatcher experiences as you do about model architecture.
Very user-minded and clear-eyed about outcomes for users. You work closely with the mobile and SaaS product teams on experimentation, and you know how to find the balance between a delightful user experience and service KPIs such as efficiency and rider experience.
Business sense and product instincts: you know how to translate a research finding into a shipped product and a shipped product into a business outcome.
Experience partnering with engineering teams to move models from research into production at scale.
Track record of working with external customers or partners to iterate on novel solutions in ambiguous, real-world conditions.
Comfort operating across research, product, and commercial contexts: you can present a model architecture to an ML engineer and a product strategy to a transit authority CEO.
Passion for building technology that makes public transit work better for everyone, especially riders in underserved communities.
Compensation and Benefits:
Final salary will be determined by the candidate’s experience, knowledge, and skills. Salary reflected does not include equity or variable pay, where applicable
Salary Range: $250,000 - $310,000 per year
Comprehensive health coverage, with low-cost dental and vision plans

We are building AI to simulate the world through merging art and science.
We believe that world models are at the frontier of progress in artificial intelligence. Language models alone won’t solve the world’s hardest problems – robotics, disease, scientific discovery. Real progress requires models that experience the world and learn from their mistakes, the same way that humans do. And this kind of trial and error can be massively accelerated when done in simulation, rather than in the real world.
World models offer the most clear path to general-purpose simulation, changing how stories are told, how scientific progress is made and how the next frontiers of humanity are reached.
Our team consists of creative, open minded, caring and ambitious people who are determined to change the world. We aspire to continuously build impossible things and our ability to do so relies on building an incredible team. If you are driven to do the same, we'd love to hear from you.
