Research Engineer, Synthetic Data
About HUD
HUD is building infrastructure to create RL training data and evals for frontier AI agents, as well as a marketplace to sell these to frontier labs through the HUD marketplace. Our platform is used by frontier labs, Fortune 500 companies, and startups. We’ve raised $16M from top VCs and were YC W25.
About the role
We’re looking for Research Engineers to build our synthetic data pipeline. You’ll turn domain-specific workflows into synthetic training tasks that are realistic enough to enough to teach useful behavior, structured enough to generate at scale, and difficult enough to expand model capabilities.
Responsibilities
Work with subject-matter experts to create synthetic tasks for training AI agents across a range of professional and technical domains
Design synthetic task generation methods that produce diverse, realistic, and learnable tasks
Build systems and tooling to mutate, validate, and improve synthetic tasks
Analyze model and agent performance on synthetic tasks to understand what the tasks are teaching and where they fail
