About the job

Design and validate research environments and evaluations that measure and improve frontier models’ research capabilities, and run post-training experiments.

What you'll do

  • Turn ML research problems into environments that reward meaningful progress and sound research judgment.
  • Test whether environment rewards are repeatable and track the quality of scored work; build systems to create and validate environments at scale.
  • Run post-training experiments to identify trainable environments.

Nice to have

  • Experience with LLMs, RL, RLHF/RLAIF, RLVR, post-training, evaluations, graders, synthetic data, model training, or coding agents at a frontier/data lab.
  • Understanding trustworthy reward evaluation and model reward exploitation; experience designing automated environment-building and quality-checking systems.

Tools

ML, LLMs, RL, RLHF/RLAIF, RLVR

AI focus

Build research environments and evaluations to improve agent capabilities and test whether frontier models can ideate, experiment, and produce impactful research.
