We're partnering with a well-funded, early-stage AI start-up tackling one of the biggest challenges in the future of computing. Their mission is to build intelligent systems capable of solving highly complex engineering problems autonomously, combining cutting-edge AI research with real-world product development.

This is a rare opportunity to join a small, elite team working at the intersection of frontier language models, reinforcement learning, AI agents, and large-scale software systems.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Research and build next-generation AI agents capable of solving complex technical problems.
  • Develop and improve post-training strategies for frontier language models.
  • Design, implement and evaluate RL environments for agent learning.
  • Build novel agent workflows, benchmarks and evaluation frameworks.
  • Prototype quickly while writing production-quality software that ships to customers.
  • Work closely with world-class engineers and researchers to turn cutting-edge ideas into real products.

What We're Looking For

  • Strong software engineering fundamentals.
  • Hands-on experience building and working with reinforcement learning environments.
  • Evidence of meaningful AI research projects alongside strong implementation experience.
  • Comfortable using modern AI development tools such as Cursor, Claude Code or similar AI-assisted engineering workflows.
  • Passion for solving difficult technical problems in a fast-moving start-up environment.
