Key skills for this role
As a founding Research Engineer, you'll train frontier-scale models and adapt them into specialized experts for enterprises. You will design and run experiments at scale, developing novel methods for agentic training.
You’ll work closely with researchers to experiment with and invent new algorithms, and you’ll collaborate with infrastructure engineers to post train LLMs on thousands of GPUs. We believe that research velocity is tied with having world class tooling; you’ll build tools and observability for yourself and others, enabling deeper investigation into how models specialize during training. If you get excited by challenging systems and ML problems at scale, this role is for you.
Post-train frontier scale large language models on enterprise tasks and environments
Explore cutting edge RL techniques, co-designing algorithms and systems
Partner with infrastructure engineers to scale training and inference efficiently across thousands of GPUs
