Requirements and responsibilities

Readable role content extracted into sections for faster review.

The role

  • applying reinforcement learning for agent training in long-context multi-turn scenarios
  • dramatically scaling task data collection to power reinforcement learning for SWE agents
  • building a decontaminated evaluation for SWE agents that is regularly updated
  • investigating how test-time guided search can be used to build more powerful agents

The role

  • Guided search and reinforcement learning for agentic systems
  • Reinforcement learning for reasoning models
  • Web-scale problem collection for training agents
  • Efficient model distillation

The role

  • Conducting experiments to figure out efficient ways to train a large language model on traces of interactions with various environments
  • Exploring methods of guided generation and search in the trajectory space
  • Coming up with ways to mine relevant data at web scale and figuring out efficient ways to use this data in model post-training
  • Conducting experiments with different reinforcement learning configurations in verifiable domains
  • Exploring methods to train AI agents on tasks with non-verifiable reward signals

We expect you to have:

  • A profound understanding of theoretical foundations of machine learning and reinforcement learning
  • Deep expertise in modern deep learning for language processing and generation
  • Substantial experience with training large models on multiple computational nodes
  • Strong software engineering skills (we mostly use python)
  • Deep experience with modern deep learning frameworks (we use jax)
  • Strong communication and leadership abilities
  • Experience designing, executing, and analyzing machine learning experiments with proper statistical rigor
  • Ability to formulate research questions, design experiments to test hypotheses, and draw meaningful conclusions from results
  • Ability to document research findings clearly and contribute to technical publications or report

Nice to have:

  • Experience with deep reinforcement learning for LLMs, including techniques such as reward modeling, DPO, PPO etc
  • Familiarity with important ideas in LLM space, such as RoPE, ZeRO/FSDP, Flash Attention, quantization
  • Bachelorโ€™s degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, or a related field Masterโ€™s or PhD preferred
  • Track record of building and delivering products (not necessarily ML-related) in a dynamic startup-like environment
  • Experience in engineering complex systems, such as large distributed data processing systems or high-load web services
  • Open-source projects that showcase your engineering prowess
  • Excellent command of the English language, alongside superior writing, articulation, and communication skills
  • Proficiency in contemporary software engineering approaches, including CI/CD, version control and unit testing

Benefits & Perks:

  • Competitive compensation
  • Career growth and learning opportunities
  • Flexibility and ownership
  • Collaborative and innovative culture
  • Opportunity to work on impactful AI projects
  • International environment and talented teams
