AI 公司用 MTS 职称替代传统等级，让年轻工程师直接发挥影响力——做 AI 研发的团队值得关注，这可能是吸引和留住顶尖人才的新方式。
硅谷多家 AI 公司（如 OpenAI、Anthropic、xAI、Thinky）开始采用“Member of Technical Staff (MTS)”职称，该制度源自贝尔实验室，由 Greg 引入 OpenAI。MTS 让年轻工程师能直接产生巨大影响，例如 Alec 在 OpenAI 创建了 GPT，而在传统体系下他可能只是“L4 软件工程师”。Databricks AI 最近也开始使用 MTS。这一变化被视为硅谷的积极趋势，旨在打破传统 title 和等级制度的束缚，鼓励创新。

Silicon Graphics Inc, 1982… Yuchen Jin @Yuchenj_UW Tech industry spent decades building a title and leveling system. Greg brought the “Member of Technical Staff”, originally invented at Bell Labs, to OpenAI. It has been adopted by Anthropic, xAI, Thinky, and many AI startups. Young MTS can have huge impact. Alec created GPT for example. In a traditional system, he was just an “L4 software engineer”. Databricks AI recently started using MTS as well. I think this is a very positive change in Silicon Valley. 🔗 View Quoted Tweet 💬 12 🔄 0 ❤️ 47 👀 9946 📊 10 ⚡
