Compensation: $180K-$220K base, ~$400K+ OTE (uncapped profit share)
About the Company
Our partner is a fast-growing applied AI research lab that builds high-quality reinforcement-learning environments and agents sold to the world's leading AI labs. In under two years they have scaled to a nine-figure revenue run rate and grown their team severalfold in a matter of months, backed by leading venture investors. Quality is their core differentiator, and they are rapidly expanding into new domains.
The Opportunity
As an RL Environment Software Engineer, you will sit at the intersection of research engineering and traditional software engineering, building the environments that simulate real-world workflows and the agents that automate them. This is forward-looking work, you will help research and predict what high-quality environments the frontier will need next, then build them from the ground up.
You will join a brand-new RL team being assembled with exceptional talent, with a clear path to grow alongside it as the function scales into industry pods.
Responsibilities
- Design and build high-quality RL environments that simulate real working environments end to end.
- Develop agents for the tasks within those environments and iterate until they a
