  • Collaborate with and lead other researchers and engineers to identify research questions and prioritize projects.
  • Mentor more junior researchers and research residents.
  • Stay up-to-date with the latest developments in reinforcement learning and software engineering research.

Qualifications:
  • 2+ years of hands-on experience developing and scaling large-scale reinforcement learning algorithms for post-training language models.
  • Core IC and leadership contributions to projects delivering strong language models.
  • Strong programming skills.

While not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:


  • Experience in post-training for software engineering
  • PhD in Computer Science or a related field
  • Strong publication record in top-tier conferences and journals

Employee Benefits:
  • Flexible work hours
  • Competitive salary & Equity
