Member of Technical Staff - AI Training Data
South San Francisco · On-site · Staff · Full-time · Posted Oct 21, 2026
About the job
Own the strategy and systems for sourcing, generating, curating, and evaluating training data that improves Warp’s chemistry models, lab perception, and robot-learning systems.
What you'll do
- Set data priorities and build pipelines for external, synthetic, RL, expert-feedback, teleoperation, and physical-lab data.
- Develop curation, ingestion, storage, lineage, and dataset-delivery workflows; assess data quality, provenance, licensing, and relevance.
- Partner with research and engineering teams to measure data-driven capability gains through evaluations, fine-tuning, and RL experiments.
What they ask for
- Track record of improving model capabilities through hands-on data development and measured results.
- Practical experience with ML data development, such as synthetic generation, model rollouts, multimodal datasets, expert annotation, or real-world collection.
- Strong understanding of data composition, sampling, demonstrations, rewards, and verifiers and their effects on fine-tuning and RL.
- Strong Python software engineering skills, including data pipelines, model-driven tools, and reproducible experiments.
Nice to have
- Experience with chemistry or scientific data, vision-language models, video understanding, or embodied AI.
- Background in teleoperation, demonstrations, simulation, active learning, human-feedback workflows, or RL-based data generation.
