Member of Technical Staff - Machine Learning Capabilities, New Graduates

About the Role

We’re hiring new graduate Machine Learning Engineers to design and build reinforcement learning environments to safely advance model capabilities in machine learning research and engineering. Specifically, you'll be teaching frontier models to do the work of an ML engineer or researcher at a frontier lab.

This role blends research and engineering. It will require you to stay up to date with the latest research, develop novel approaches, and realize them in code. You will have full ownership and autonomy of the environments you build. Your work will include designing and implementing RL environments, conducting experiments and evaluations, delivering your work into production training runs, and collaborating with other researchers and engineers.

You will join our Capabilities org, a small, high-ownership team and contribute directly to the data layer that powers frontier LLM capability.

Note: this role is for recent graduates only who can start soon.

What You Will Do

• 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.

What We Are Looking for (Qualifications)

• 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.
• Expert knowledge in an active DL/ML research area, with publications or public code to show for it.
• Research experience (PhD, MS) is a strongly preferred.
• Deep understanding of transformer internals
• Proficiency in Python, Numpy, and systems programming; ideally PyTorch or JAX
• Smart problem solvers who take ownership and drives solutions end-to-end
• Passion for staying current with the rapidly evolving ML infrastructure landscape
• Ability to meet throughput expectations and respond quickly to feedback

Nice to Have

• Strong expertise in kernel development (CUDA, Triton, Pallas), optimizing non-trivial neural modules to specific hardware
• Research projects, coursework, or personal work involving RL environments (any framework, any scale)
• Open-source contributions to ML infrastructure or RL tooling
• Experience with any cloud platform (AWS, GCP, Azure) or infrastructure-as-code tools

What We Offer

• Competitive cash and equity compensation (>90th percentile)
• Ownership and autonomy in a fast moving startup environment
• Opportunity to work with top machine learning engineers
• Health, vision, dental, benefits
• 401K match
• Lunch provided everyday onsite
• Weekly snack orders
• Visa sponsorship & relocation support available

We value diverse perspectives and experiences. If you're excited about this role but don't check every box, we still encourage you to apply.
