Research Analyst, AI Answer Measurement

Open. Remote, United States. Full time.

The Absence Index records which vendors AI engines name when buyers ask about a category: 14 categories, 286 vendors and 150 scheduled observations per category in the current release, with completed answers and failures reported separately.

Responsibilities

Run each Absence Index release and keep the receipt behind every published figure.
Normalize vendor names and handle failed observations under the published method.
Deposit the open datasets on Zenodo with each release.
Publish two evidence pieces a week from the measured data.
Report scheduled runs apart from adaptive ones, three repeats as three repeats, and citations as citations, not as causes.

What we look for

Two or more years of quantitative research or analytics.
Python or SQL you use in your own work.
Clear writing, checked against sources.
A working understanding of measurement noise.
Eligibility to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.
