Member of Technical Staff - Post-Training

About the role

Build systems that transform powerful pre-trained models into aligned and general agents.
Drive research and engineering initiatives that push the frontier of post-training, from data curation to large-scale optimization.
Develop data generation pipelines, reward models, reinforcement learning algorithms, and inference-time scaling techniques.
Collaborate across pre-training and post-training teams to deliver step-function gains in model capability.
Contribute to shaping our understanding of how large models learn to reason, follow instructions, and improve through reinforcement learning.

Requirements

Deep understanding of machine learning fundamentals and practical experience with large-scale LLM training.
Strong engineering skills, comfortable diving into complex ML codebases and distributed systems.
Experience improving model behavior through data, reward modeling, or RL techniques.
Evidence of owning ambitious research or engineering agendas that led to measurable model improvements.
Bias toward action and clarity of execution in a fast-paced, high-agency startup environment.
Able to work fluidly across research and infra boundaries.
Strong communication capabilities and comfort working collaboratively.
Passionate about advancing the frontier of intelligence.
