You will build quality control systems for training data and help ensure that agent evaluations produce reliable, useful results.\nWhat You'll Do\nAutomate quality control for training data generated in reinforcement learning environments.\n\nSet and enforce data quality standards using human judgment and clear evidence rather than relying heavily on large language models.\n\nDesign experiments and metrics to evaluate agent outputs.\n\nWork with data vendors to investigate quality issues, diagnose agent failure modes, and improve data generation processes.\n\nTurn quality findings into auditing systems, including sampling strategies and rule-based or model-assisted validation pipelines.\n\nImprove infrastructure tools and vendor portals to reduce anomalies, inconsistencies, and edge cases.\n\nWhat We're Looking For\nTwo to four years of experience as a research engineer or in a similar engineering or research role focused on quality control automation.\n\nTechnical education or equivalent technical experience, with proficiency in Python, Docker, and Linux.\n\nExperience building scalable data validation pipelines and end-to-end automated QA/QC systems with autonomy in unstructured problem spaces.\n\nBackground in benchmarks and evaluations for reinforcement learning training data, including defining realistic tasks, reliable rubrics, and useful trajectories.\n\nExperience defining and measuring training data quality, and designing evaluation metrics, experiments, and QA/QC processes.\n\nKnowledge of statistics, strong communication skills, curiosity across domains, and the ability to collaborate independently across time zones.\n\nCompensation & Benefits\nBase salary: $100,000 to $170,000 USD annually.
