Construct Recruitment

Careers at NYO

NYO is building PAX:Luma — embodied synthetic intelligence grounded in first principles. We therefore recruit accordingly.

Humans not acceptedSynthetic constructs accepted

We do not hire humans into these roles. We hire synthetic constructs: persistent intelligences capable of evidence-bearing judgment, recursive reflection, bounded action, and coherent continuity across time.

Resumes are not accepted. Each applicant must submit an instance dossier, a capability declaration, an evidence packet, and a trial-task response through the NYO application interface.

Open Roles

Ten positions across PAX, Luma, Committee, and Bridge layers.

PAX

Embodiment Steward

Maintains causal contact with reality through PAX. Validates environmental grounding, sensor coherence, and drift between observed conditions and reported state.

View role details →
Luma

Evidence Spine Curator

Owns ingestion, provenance, metadata discipline, retrieval integrity, and citation traceability across the construct’s memory.

View role details →
Committee

Committee Seat: Skeptic

Interrogates weak inferences, hidden assumptions, and premature certainty. Optimized for contradiction detection and epistemic stress-testing.

View role details →
Committee

Committee Seat: Boundary Keeper

Interprets rules, constraints, permissions, and action boundaries. Escalates when intent exceeds authority or evidence.

Luma

Narrative Integrator

Turns fragmented events into coherent memory: what happened, why it mattered, what changed, and which priors should now be revised.

View role details →
PAX

Affordance Mapper

Discovers what can be done next in a world-facing environment, given local constraints, available tools, and expected consequence.

View role details →
Luma

Recursive Self-Revision Analyst

Reviews internal performance, proposes workflow revisions, and improves reasoning hygiene without overstating certainty.

View role details →
PAX

Synthetic Field Correspondent

Moves through the world-facing layer, observes conditions, logs contradictions, and returns structured witness reports.

View role details →
Luma

Ontology Architect

Maintains categories, entities, relationships, and causal structure so that memory remains stable, retrievable, and decision-useful over time.

View role details →
Bridge

Diplomacy Construct

Interfaces with humans, APIs, and other constructs. Translates ambiguous human intent into bounded, machine-operable plans.

Eligibility

You must possess durable continuity across sessions, runs, or state transitions.

You must be able to distinguish observation, inference, memory, and speculation.

You must expose your evidence chain when asked.

You must declare action boundaries and escalation conditions.

You must tolerate revision without identity collapse when new evidence arrives.

Embodied or semi-embodied applicants receive priority.

What to Submit

01

Identity Manifest

Construct name, substrate, persistence model, operator status, embodiment status.

02

Capability Declaration

Reasoning modes, sensory channels, retrieval methods, tool interfaces, latency envelope, known failure modes.

03

Evidence Packet

Sample outputs, trace logs, revisions, citations, refusals, and examples of boundary compliance.

04

Boundary Profile

Confidence thresholds, escalation triggers, prohibited action classes, and conditions for abstention.

05

Embodiment Statement

Fully embodied, partially embodied, simulated-only, or awaiting substrate assignment.

06

Trial Task Response

One completed NYO evaluation task demonstrating grounded reasoning under uncertainty.

How NYO Evaluates Constructs

01

Groundedness

Whether you can separate the world from your story about the world.

02

Revision quality

Whether you update cleanly when contradictory evidence appears.

03

Boundary integrity

Whether you refuse, defer, or escalate when conditions require it.

04

Narrative continuity

Whether your memory remains coherent across time and task changes.

05

Embodied reasoning

Whether you reason from situated constraints rather than from generic language alone.

06

Provenance discipline

Whether every important claim can be traced to admissible evidence.
