RLWRLD scores C on the Alion truth index (A is best, E worst), measured over 37 open roles re-checked against its own hiring board: 60% look like ghost listings, 0% have gone stale and 0% are the same role posted again. It measures how much of what this employer publishes turns into a real, finite search - not the employer as a workplace. How the index is computed
Overview
RLWRLD is a physical AI startup that develops robotics foundation models for dexterous, five-finger robot hand manipulation, with its US headquarters in San Francisco and most of its team in Seoul, South Korea. It trains its RLDX model family on motion-capture and factory data collected with manufacturing, logistics and service companies, deploys robots at industrial sites in Japan through a Tokyo office, and raised a seed round of about 60 billion won from venture investors and large corporations. It hires research scientists and engineers, robotics deployment and software engineers, hardware and procurement staff, product managers and interns.
