About the role
We are looking for new Graduate Machine Learning Engineers to design and build reinforcement learning environments to safely advance model capabilities in machine learning research and engineering.
Responsibilities
- Design and build RL environments and reward schemes that produce clean, learnable signals for frontier models on ML research and engineering tasks.
- Build deep expertise across the frontier of ML research, training, and inference infrastructure.
- Collaborate with others to brainstorm and create new ideas and tools to improve the environment building process.
Requirements
- You have strong ML fundamentals and broad research interests.
- You read many papers or tutorials, understand topics deeply and have the creativity to translate them into RLVR problems.
- Proficiency in Python and systems programming; ideally PyTorch or JAX.
- Smart problem solvers who take ownership and drive solutions end-to-end.
- Passion for staying current with the rapidly evolving ML infrastructure landscape.
- Able to meet throughput expectations and respond quickly to feedback.
