Research Scientist

About the Role

We’re looking for Research Scientists who can drive effective RL or mid-training research in a small-team setting. You’ll own ambiguous, hard research problems end-to-end: forming hypotheses, designing experiments, building the training/eval/data needed to test them, and pushing results into the next model. You should expect significantly more scope and autonomy than in other research labs.

What You’ll Do

• Improve our understanding of RL, what it takes to handle longer horizon tasks, and train with less compute
• Train graders to improve performance on coding tasks with non-verifiable reward
• Improve the quality and difficulty of datapoints we use for training our models
• Realtime RL for coding agents

You May Be a Fit If

• You have a deep background in RL and strong machine learning fundamentals
• You’re an excellent programmer and software engineer
• You can handle ambiguous research tasks with little guidance
• You care a lot about data quality, and can dive into the data when appropriate
• You are truth seeking, aiming to learn more about the science than proving your ideas are correct
