Whether teams need raw data, curated datasets, or full-cycle data engineering, Abaka AI provides the foundation for building high-performance AI systems.

You will work closely with research leaders, engineers, contributors, and external collaborators to support GitHub management, meeting coordination, documentation, and internal research operations. This role is ideal for someone who is highly organized, detail-oriented, proactive, and interested in supporting frontier AI research communities from an operational and execution perspective.
This is a high-ownership role at the intersection of research operations, open-source coordination, and technical program support.
 
Responsibilities
  • Support operational coordination across ongoing research initiatives and collaborations
  • Manage and maintain GitHub repositories, contributor workflows, issue tracking, and documentation organization
  • Track and manage API credit usage across multiple research projects, tools, and contributors
  • Take detailed notes and maintain organized documentation for weekly 2077AI meetings and internal discussions
  • Support meeting coordination and note-taking for academic, research, and collaborator meetings
  • Track action items, follow-ups, and ongoing project updates across research teams
  • Maintain internal organization across research operations, documentation, and communication workflows
  • Coordinate with research, engineering, and operations teams to support smooth project execution
  • Assist with lightweight operational and administrative support for research programs and open-source initiatives
  • Help improve internal workflows and operational processes for distributed research contributors
 
Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience
  • Strong organizational skills and exceptional attention to detail
  • Strong written communication and note-taking abilities
  • Comfortable managing multiple projects and priorities in fast-paced environments
  • Familiarity with GitHub, technical documentation, or open-source workflows is preferred
  • Interest in AI, machine learning, research ecosystems, or open-source communities
  • Ability to operate independently with a high ownership mindset
  • Strong problem-solving skills and proactive communication style
  • Experience supporting technical teams, startups, academic labs, or research organizations is preferred
 
Compensation & Benefits
The base salary range for this position is $100,000 - $150,000 USD annually.
Compensation may vary outside of this range depending on a number of factors, including a candidate's qualifications, skills, competencies, and experience.
