About the role
Responsibilities
Identify failure modes in frontier models.
Develop rigorous benchmarks that evaluate how well frontier agents perform on complex, realistic tasks requiring long-horizon reasoning and tool use in dynamic environments.
Train autonomous agents that can reason, plan, and act over extended time horizons.
Requirements
Currently pursuing an MS or PhD program in Computer Science or a related field.
Experience with reinforcement learning, benchmarking frontier models, or model post-training.
Experience with systems engineering and ability to write production-quality code.
Strong track record of publications.
High agency, move quickly, and enjoy working on open-ended research problems.
Compensation
$200k / year prorated to the number of hours committed (full-time or part-time).
Build state-of-the-art ML models to predict traffic behavior for autonomous driving, using generative sequence modeling and controllable agents for planning and simulation. Requires PhD preferred, 2+ years deploying ML systems, and expertise in PyTorch and robotics ML.
