# AI Researcher

AI Researcher @ Varick Agents ABOUT VARICK: Varick builds AI agents that take over real operational workflows inside the world's largest enterprises. Our forward-deployed engineers and strategists embed with client teams to map how work gets done and build POCs, then our engineers bring those agents into production. We're venture-backed, revenue-generating from day one, and already in production inside several of these companies. You'll join an elite team from Meta, AWS Bedrock, Citadel Securities, McKinsey, BCG, Stanford, and more. ABOUT THE ROLE: You make our agents better at the actual work. You own the post-training loop: taking real workflow data from our deployments and turning it into models and evals that push agent accuracy where a demo-grade model fails on the tenth run. This is applied, production-facing research. Your results ship to agents running inside the world's largest enterprises. WHAT YOU'LL DO: Own fine-tuning, preference optimization, and post-training pipelines that lift agent performance on real enterprise workflows Build the eval suites and golden sets that measure whether a change actually helped, before it ships to a client Turn traces and failure cases
