- Publications at top research venues in human-computer interaction, machine learning, natural-language processing, programming languages, software engineering, or adjacent areas.
- Completed or on track to a PhD in a technical discipline or have equivalent industrial experience.
- Evidence of ability to translate findings into insights for technical and design impact.
- Experience or interest in doing LLM research.
- Experience or interest in working in the spreadsheet domain.

- Good spoken and written English.
- Enthusiastic to work in a multi-disciplinary team, open to acquiring new skills out of your domain of expertise and be willing to communicate and share ideas in both a technical and non-technical way.
One or more of the following is preferred:
- Experience with research on end-user programming.
- Experience with evaluation and benchmarking of software systems or ML algorithms.
- Experience with mixed-methods user studies.
- Experience with telemetry studies, writing queries against log files.
