Member of Research Staff, Reinforcement Learning
Voleon Securities is seeking an experienced and creative reinforcement learning researcher to join their ML research group. This role focuses on applying state-of-the-art AI/ML techniques to construct market-making strategies and optimize trading models.
Responsibilities
- Develop a rich understanding of Voleon’s challenges and methodologies and propose RL research innovations and experiments to build, maintain and optimize the models that govern our trading strategy
- Prepare and analyze new datasets to assess their predictive efficacy
- Develop, validate, and implement new models in production
- Design and conduct experiments to improve simulations and evaluate the success of new models in a live environment
- Communicate and collaborate effectively with other Members of Research Staff and Software Engineers at each stage, driving progress towards tangible outcomes
- Keep up to date on the latest RL academic research to identify novel approaches to explore for application to our domain
Requirements
- Background in reinforcement learning or optimal control with a strong track record of publishing RL papers in top tier conferences
- Evidence of strong mathematical abilities (e.g., publication record, graduate coursework, or competition placement)
- Interest in software development techniques and willingness to write production-level code (Python)
- Ability to solve large-scale computing problems with GPUs
- Eagerness to work in a fast paced and growing business
- Interest in financial applications is essential, but prior finance industry experience is not a pre-requisite
- Ph.D. level coursework is required, and a Ph.D. degree in a relevant field is preferred
Staff Research Scientist, Exotic AI
Build next-generation training infrastructure for physical AI models that perceive, reason, and act in structured environments. Lead development of representation models, latent world models, and policy optimization systems.
Principal Applied Scientist
As a Principal Applied Scientist, you will define the technical direction for offer optimization and conversion modeling systems, working across teams to integrate models and optimization systems. This role involves structuring ambiguous problems, designing solutions, and providing technical oversight to ensure a coherent long-term vision.
Research Scientist, Life Sciences
Anthropic is seeking a Research Scientist to join their Life Sciences team. This role involves building and shipping agentic tools, designing evaluation benchmarks, and partnering with external users to improve model capabilities on scientific tasks.
Simulation Researcher/Engineer
As a Simulation Researcher/Engineer, you will design and build simulation environments for training general-purpose robot policies. This role involves working with generative models and classical physics simulation, developing differentiable pipelines, and driving asset generation.
Research Scientist - World Model
As a Research Scientist on the World Models team, you will invent next-generation world model architectures with a focus on controllability and physical consistency, develop controllability mechanisms, and define and own metrics for physical fidelity and action-following.
