Nonprofit AI research institute building open models, climate and Earth AI
Ai2 is a Seattle nonprofit AI lab whose stack pairs large-scale training infrastructure (PyTorch, JAX, NCCL, InfiniBand, Kubernetes) with satellite data sources like Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2. Job posts center on AI-first climate modeling, with NeuralGCM+ development and ML ocean coupling, alongside OlmoEarth and Skylight. Hiring is accelerating and research-led, skewed toward senior talent.
Ai2 is a nonprofit AI research institute headquartered in Seattle, WA, founded in 2014. It conducts foundational research across natural language processing, computer vision, machine reasoning and knowledge extraction, and releases large-scale open models and data. Work spans climate science, Earth observation, conservation, robotics and scholarly literature tools such as the Semantic Scholar data platform. The organization employs 201–500 people and hires in the United States. Back-office operations run on Workday, ADP, UKG Ready, Sage Intacct and Adaptive Planning.
Ai2 uses Python, PyTorch, JAX, NCCL, InfiniBand, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, AWS, GCP, PostgreSQL, Apache Airflow, Datadog, React and Go, plus Workday and Sage Intacct for operations.
Current projects include OlmoEarth, Skylight, an open-source AI-first climate model, the NeuralGCM+ model coupled to an ML ocean model, the Asta engineering framework, FlexOlmo and the Semantic Scholar data platform.
Yes. Research is Ai2's largest hiring area, followed by engineering and product, with mostly senior-level roles based in the United States and hiring momentum accelerating.
