It’s at a well-funded AI research lab about to blast out of stealth mode and doing some novel work at the edge of reinforcement learning.They’re moving into their next phase of growth after closing funding and signing contracts with major frontier AI labs.As a Founding RL Researcher, you will lead efforts to build novel algorithms and environments for training autonomous agents. You will have real influence over technical direction from day one and work directly with experienced second-time founders.Core skills and experience requiredStrong background in reinforcement learningHands-on post-training experience: RLHF etcExperience designing or building RL environments grounded in real-world workflowsDistributed training at scalePython and PyTorchExperience at a top-tier AI lab or companyA blend of theoretical depth mixed with the ability to ship production systemsPublications at top ML conferences, nice to haveIf you have worked on RL at a top lab or have production RL experience and want to push beyond the current RL paradigms into real-world, long-horizon intelligence, this is worth a conversation.Apply with your CV or reach out to Ben Greensmith for more details.
