Joel Burget

I’m the lead engineer at Survival and Flourishing Corp, where I build the S-Process — the algorithm and software platform the Survival and Flourishing Fund uses to allocate philanthropic grants: $35M in 2025, with $50M+ expected in 2026.

Previously, I studied mechanistic interpretability, did a short stint with ARC Evals (now METR) working on language-model evaluation infrastructure, worked on engineering productivity at Google and eventually served as tech lead, and cofounded a consultancy focused on programming languages and formal verification.
