About Us
Our mission is to raise AGI with the richness of human intelligence — curious, witty, imaginative, and full of unexpected brilliance.

At Surge, we believe the path to AGI isn't just about scaling compute—it's about embracing the unlimited ceiling of human intelligence and creativity in the data that shapes these systems. Our platform combines elite human expertise with cutting-edge tools for scalable oversight, from building rich RL environments to conducting rigorous evaluations that go beyond benchmarks. We've run a profitable business from day one without raising venture funding.

What We're Looking for
Experience in product management or related roles within high-performing product companies, with a proven track record of navigating ambiguity and executing complex projects.
Strong analytical skills and data-driven approach, coupled with experience in market research, competitive analysis, and deriving actionable product insights.
