Model Engineer, Post-Training & RL

MODEL ENGINEER, POST-TRAINING & RL

You will work on the most critical post-training and reinforcement learning challenges at any given time — including reward modeling, preference optimization (RLHF/DPO), and RL for improving reasoning, truthfulness, and real-world capabilities.

Experience writing production-quality code in Python, PyTorch, JAX, Rust, or C++

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

You believe truth-seeking AI is the most important and challenging problem

You are obsessed about building incredibly useful models through post-training and RL techniques

You are a power user of AI models and eager to push the boundaries of what’s possible with reinforcement learning and alignment methods

If you previously worked on post-training, RLHF, or trained models used by millions of people it’s a big plus, but relevant experience is not required

You take pride in your work and thrive in meritocratic environments
