About the role
- Conducting experiments to figure out efficient ways to train a large language model on traces of interactions with various environments.
- Exploring methods of guided generation and search in the trajectory space
- Coming up with ways to mine relevant data at web scale and figuring out efficient ways to use this data in model post-training.
- Conducting experiments with different reinforcement learning configurations in verifiable domains
- Exploring methods to train AI agents on tasks with non-verifiable reward signals
Requirements
- A profound understanding of theoretical foundations of machine learning and reinforcement learning.

- Substantial experience with training large models on multiple computational nodes
- Strong software engineering skills (we mostly use python)
- Deep experience with modern deep learning frameworks (we use jax)
- Strong communication and leadership abilities
- Experience designing, executing, and analyzing machine learning experiments with proper statistical rigor
- Ability to formulate research questions, design experiments to test hypotheses, and draw meaningful conclusions from results
- Ability to document research findings clearly and contribute to technical publications or report
- Experience with deep reinforcement learning for LLMs, including techniques such as reward modeling, DPO, PPO etc.
- Familiarity with important ideas in LLM space, such as MHA, RoPE, ZeRO/FSDP, Flash Attention, quantization
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, or a related field Master’s or PhD preferred.
- Track record of building and delivering products (not necessarily ML-related) in a dynamic startup-like environment
- Experience in engineering complex systems, such as large distributed data processing systems or high-load web services
- Open-source projects that showcase your engineering prowess
- Excellent command of the English language, alongside superior writing, articulation, and communication skills.
