We are unable to sponsor new H-1B visa petitions for this position.\nJob Summary\nWe are looking for a Reinforcement Learning Engineer to design, train, and deploy RL-based systems for high-impact decision-making problems where supervised learning alone is insufficient. The role requires deep familiarity with modern reinforcement learning algorithms, simulation environments, reward modeling, and the engineering complexity of training and evaluating policies at scale. The ideal candidate has both research depth and engineering pragmatism, with experience taking RL solutions out of the lab and into production where stability, safety, and ongoing improvement are critical.\nKey Responsibilities\nDesign and implement reinforcement learning solutions for sequential decision-making problems in real and simulated environments.\nDevelop, calibrate, and maintain simulation environments suitable for large-scale agent training.\nImplement and evaluate modern RL algorithms including policy gradient, actor-critic, off-policy, and offline RL methods.\nEngineer reward functions and shaping strategies that align agent behavior with desired outcomes and safety constraints.\nApply offline RL and imitation learning techniques where exploration is costly or unsafe.\nUse RLHF, DPO, and related techniques for fine-tuning large language models when relevant.\nBuild scalable training infrastructure for distributed RL, including efficient experience collection and replay systems.\nOptimize training stability and sample efficiency through algorithmic and engineering improvements.\nDesign rigorous evaluation protocols, including out-of-distribution and adversarial test cases.\nImplement safety mechanisms such as constraint enforcement, conservative policies, and human-in-the-loop oversight.\nCollaborate with applied scientists and product teams to identify high-value RL use cases.\nMonitor deployed policies and models in production for drift, regression, and unintended behaviors, building the alerting and dashboards that surface issues before they meaningfully affect users.\nDocument methodology, design decisions, and operational characteristics for internal stakeholders.\nStay current with RL research and translate promising techniques into production-ready solutions.\nRequired QualificationsMaster’s or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field; or equivalent applied experience.\nSix or more years of combined RL research and engineering experience.\nStrong proficiency in Python and modern deep learning frameworks.\nHands-on experience with at least one major RL library or in-house RL stack.\nSolid understanding of probability, optimization, and the theoretical foundations of RL.\nExperience designing and tuning reward functions in non-trivial environments.\nFamiliarity with simulation environments and large-scale experience collection.\nExperience training neural network policies on GPU clusters.\nStrong written and verbal communication skills.\nTrack record of shipping or publishing impactful RL work.\nPreferred QualificationsExperience with RLHF for large language models.\nFamiliarity with multi-agent RL or hierarchical RL.\nExposure to robotics, control systems, or autonomous driving.\nPublications in RL or related research venues.\nOpen-source contributions to RL libraries or environments.\nHow to ApplyWould you like to know more about this opportunity?
