Research Engineer, Real Environments

About the Role

You’ll work with large enterprises to capture their data and transform it into high-fidelity RL environments for capability evaluations and training datasets for frontier labs. We focus on pushing the frontier of world-building, verifier engineering, and more alongside our partners.

Your goal will be to automate the process of building evals for real work in the economy.

What You'll Do

• Ship models for workflow extraction, classification, and grading.
• Engineer autonomous task refinement processes which distill data taste into pipelines.
• Deliver data to customers and deploy into real engagements.
• Help define the future of agentic transformation for enterprises around the world.
• Deeply learn about the intricacies of enterprises through building evaluations for all aspects of work.
• Build end-to-end environments for labs & enterprises by platformizing sandbox app clones, load real data into the sandboxes, build prompts from real workflows, and write verifiers leveraging enterprise expertise & golden outputs.
• Systematize the production of environments to scale throughput while maintaining high-quality worlds and verifiers.

What We're Looking for

• Prior experience shipping environments - you’ve contributed to an OSS framework, built environments at previous companies, or worked on agentic evaluations.
• Strong full-stack engineering skills - you’ll be responsible for everything from infrastructure to app code to analytics
• Bias to action - this team is focused on shipping evals, not just philosophizing about them.
• Curiosity - being biased towards understanding and digging deep into model behavior and actually looking at the data.
• Sweat the details that make a simulation indistinguishable from the real thing and have systems-level thinking skills that allow you to scale up quality.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Temporal, Modal, or similar orchestration/compute services
• Experience with synthetic data generation for frontier models.Past work auditing and scrutinizing industry-standard evaluations
