AI Research Scientist

Design and build the knowledge infrastructure that powers Gallup’s most ambitious AI initiatives. As an AI research scientist at Gallup, you will shape AI systems built on some of the richest behavioral datasets in the world. If you bring the rigor of a researcher and the instincts of a systems thinker, and you want to design what doesn't yet exist, you'll thrive in Gallup Labs. About Gallup Labs Gallup Labs is the internal research and incubation engine at Gallup, where the world's most important questions about human behavior meet at the intersection of research and technology. We work on problems that don't have clear road maps: building novel knowledge architectures from decades of behavioral data, designing AI systems that surface talent signals and prototyping the next generation of human-centered intelligence tools for a variety of markets.  What You’ll Do Design, prototype and evaluate applied AI systems for knowledge representation, retrieval and agentic reasoning Build knowledge architectures that combine knowledge graphs, vector databases, RAG pipelines and hybrid retrieval approaches for behavioral and scientific data Own core retrieval infrastructure, including ontology design, schema design, embeddings, indexing, LLM-based extraction, entity resolution, graph storage and query patterns Translate ambiguous research questions into clear technical approaches, experiments and working systems Create evaluation frameworks for reasoning quality, ret
