Pilots don't train with real passengers. Actors don't rehearse with real audiences. Yet, the most consequential decisions in society are often pushed straight to production.
Simile is changing that. We have built the first AI simulation of society, populated by generative agents based on real humans. Our research pioneered the field of AI-based simulation, proving it is possible to model human behavior with high accuracy. Today, we are developing a foundation model to predict human behavior in any situation, at any scale.
From rehearsing earnings calls to modeling litigation outcomes and testing global policy changes, leading companies use Simile to preview the effect before triggering the cause. We are backed by $100M in funding led by Index Ventures, with participation from Hanabi, A*, Bain Capital Ventures, and AI visionaries including Andrej Karpathy, Fei-Fei Li, Adam D'Angelo, and Guillermo Rauch.
Simile is looking for a Talent Partner to lead the recruiting motion for our Sales and Deployment Strategy teams. In this role, you will be instrumental in shaping the future of our organization by building the full go-to-market team, from the enterprise sellers who land our largest accounts to the deployment strategists who turn them into lasting partnerships. As we continue to push the boundaries of foundation models, we need a passionate recruiter who can help us build a world-class go-to-market team that translates frontier research into real enterprise value.
