All positions are currently closed

Merkium is a small, focused team led by Afonso Faro. We don't have open roles at this time, but that may change as the lab grows.

No open positions at this time

We're heads-down building the next generation of Kili models with our current team. When Merkium is ready to expand, open roles will be posted here.

No layers of management. Every team member directly shapes the models and the research direction.

We publish openly, invest in mechanistic understanding, and prioritize long-term safety over short-term benchmarks.

From data curation to alignment tuning, every contributor has end-to-end responsibility for their work.
