Who we are

At Interhuman AI, we're building the social intelligence layer of AI. Our mission is to make AI truly understand the rich complexity of human behavior across cultures and contexts, creating interactions that feel genuinely adaptive and socially intelligent. We achieve this through pioneering research in multimodal AI systems that decode the full spectrum of human communication - from the subtle micro-expressions that reveal confusion to the conversational patterns that signal trust and engagement.

Our technology goes far beyond surface-level language processing to capture what psychologists and behavioral scientists know matters most: the nonverbal cues, emotional dynamics, and interpersonal signals that make up most of human communication.

We're translating behavioral science research into AI systems that can recognize hesitation in a voice, read empathy in facial expressions, and understand the cultural nuances that shape how people connect.

We're initially targeting corporate training - a $400B market where existing solutions miss the human element entirely. Our product allows individuals to practice critical soft skills with AI that responds to their actual behavioral cues and provides meaningful, scientifically-grounded feedback on their interpersonal effectiveness.

We're in the early stages with a working prototype, excited first customers who see the transformative potential, and strong investors who believe in our vision to humanize AI interaction.

The role

We're looking for a Behavioral Scientist to join as a foundational product hire, responsible for translating behavioral science into practical, scalable technology. This isn't about reviewing literature or running traditional studies - it's about defining how AI systems should interpret the subtle human signals that matter most: confusion, hesitation, empathy, disengagement, and the hundreds of other cues that reveal what people are actually thinking and feeling.

You'll work at the fascinating intersection of research and product, shaping how our models perceive and reason about human interaction. Your work will form the scientific backbone of our technology and directly influence our core product value. If you're passionate about seeing psychological insights transform how humans and AI interact, this role offers the rare opportunity to shape that future from the ground up.

What you'll be doing

• Create the taxonomy of social and emotional cues our system detects and acts upon, grounding our technology in rigorous behavioral science

• Lead development of annotation frameworks and behavior labeling schemes that capture the nuances of multimodal human expression

• Collaborate with our AI team to translate behavioral constructs into model training objectives and validation frameworks

• Design and oversee human rating pipelines that evaluate model accuracy against real-world behavioral understanding

• Guide experimental design for pilots that measure perceived interaction quality, trust, and engagement from a psychological perspective

• Collaborate with domain experts in behavioural science across countries and cultures

• Act as the bridge between psychology research and product decisions, ensuring our outputs align with human expectations and genuine behavioral insights

• Contribute to our IP strategy through original methodology and evaluation frameworks that advance the field

What you bring

Core expertise

• Academic or applied background in psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, HCI, or affective computing

• Deep understanding of nonverbal behavior, conversation dynamics, emotional expression, and interpersonal cues

• Experience designing or applying behavioral coding schemes in research or product environments

• Ability to collaborate deeply with technical teams - comfortable interfacing with AI/ML, product, and UX perspectives

• Fluent in scientific thinking but driven to see research create real-world impact

• Experience translating complex behavioral constructs into measurable, actionable frameworks

Nice to have

• PhD in relevant field (psychology, cognitive science, HCI, etc.)

• Experience in EdTech, coaching, therapy tech, or digital interaction design

• Familiarity with annotation platforms and data labeling pipelines

• Background in AI ethics, fairness, or cross-cultural behavioral modeling

• Experience contributing to machine learning products or research-to-product translation

Why join Interhuman AI?

You'll be joining as a foundational team member at the most exciting time - where your direct contributions will shape both our product and the future of socially intelligent AI. We believe in a culture of scientific rigor and ambitious innovation, where we truly value diverse perspectives, celebrate breakthrough discoveries, and maintain the curiosity that drives great research.

We offer:

• Competitive salary + equity package

• Remote and hybrid work options - we trust you to do your best work wherever inspiration strikes

• Complex interdisciplinary challenges at the exciting intersection of behavioral science and AI

• The opportunity to see your research directly impact how millions of people interact with AI

• Join a dynamic team that values scientific integrity, collaboration, and healthy work-life balance

• If you're in Copenhagen, enjoy a beautiful office space with a vibrant research community

We're building something that could fundamentally change how humans and AI understand each other, and we want you to help shape that future.
