Technical Tools

Ai Research EngineerData & AI

This role focuses on turning cutting-edge AI research concepts into practical, reusable systems for real-world applications. You will build reinforcement learning environments, agentic systems, LLM pipelines, and evaluation frameworks that support advanced AI initiatives and customer use cases. The position combines hands-on engineering with experimentation, model evaluation, and applied research. You will investigate how different data, models, and techniques influence AI system behavior and performance. Working with research and cross-functional teams, you will transform technical ideas into reliable assets that can be reproduced and reused. The role offers significant autonomy in a remote environment and is ideal for an engineer who enjoys moving quickly from research questions to working solutions.

Build reinforcement learning and agent environments for real-world AI use cases, including defining task specifications, scoring mechanisms, evaluation criteria, and relevant testing workflows.
Develop benchmarks and evaluation harnesses to assess model and data quality across dimensions such as accuracy, robustness, safety, latency, and cost.
Design and implement LLM pipelines and agentic systems that support research initiatives, model evaluation, experimentation, and customer trials.
Conduct fine-tuning, adapter, and other model experiments to understand how different datasets, techniques, and configurations influence model behavior and system performance.
Deploy local and self-hosted models for evaluation, inference, experimentation, and automation workflows.
Document experiments, configurations, datasets, results, methodologies, and known limitations clearly so that other engineers can reproduce, validate, and extend the work.
Collaborate closely with AI research teams and cross-functional stakeholders to translate technical concepts into practical, reusable solutions and assets.
Independently investigate technical problems, rapidly prototype potential approaches, and turn research questions or ideas into functional, production-oriented implementations.
Contribute to the development of reliable, maintainable AI systems while applying strong engineering practices throughout experimentation and deployment.
