Required and preferred rules are kept separate and reflect the wording in the original posting.
About the Role
You will develop and test approaches for scaling compute spent on context in the frontier training stack. You will improve post-training systems, build evaluations and training environments, turn product signals into model improvements, and investigate model failures through experiments, analysis, and launch.
Requirements
- Machine learning
- Software engineering
- Systems
- Statistics
- LLMs
- RL
- RLHF/RLAIF
- Post-training
- Evaluations
- Graders
- Synthetic data
- Model training
- Coding agents
- Tool-using agents
- Production ML systems
Responsibilities
- Design and run experiments that improve scaling of compute on context
- Own improvements to the post-training stack, including RL, data pipelines, graders, reward signals, evals, diagnostics, and model-behavior analysis
- Build evaluations and environments that expose model failures
- Translate product signals into model improvements
- Work on training and alignment interventions
- Improve large-scale training and launch reliability, observability, reproducibility, cost, latency, and production readiness
- Debug model failures and turn them into hypotheses, experiments, and fixes
