About the Role
This is a hands-on research engineering role focused on building synthetic data pipelines that turn real-world, domain-specific workflows into structured training tasks for AI agents. You will join a small, high-caliber engineering team of Olympiad medalists and published researchers, working at the core of a platform that powers reinforcement learning environments and post-training data for AI labs.
What You'll Do
-
Design and build end-to-end synthetic data pipelines that convert domain-specific workflows into realistic, challenging training tasks.
-
Collaborate with subject-matter experts to produce synthetic tasks for AI agents across professional and technical domains.
-
Develop task generation methods that maximize diversity, realism, and learnability.
-
Build tooling to mutate, validate, and iteratively improve synthetic tasks at scale.
-
Analyze model and agent performance on synthetic tasks to identify what they teach and where they break down.
-
Define and implement metrics to quantify synthetic task quality across diversity, realism, and learnability dimensions.
What We're Looking For
-
2 to 4 years of experience in software engineering, machine learning engineering, or AI research, with a focus on data pipelines, ML infrastructure, or synthetic data systems.
-
Proficiency in Python and hands-on experience with Docker and Linux environments.
-
Demonstrated experience applying synthetic data research methods to build generation pipelines end-to-end.
-
Strong understanding of synthetic data quality criteria, including diversity, realism, and learnability, as well as their inherent limitations.
-
Experience designing, implementing, or maintaining evaluation frameworks, benchmarks, or testing environments for AI agents or large language models.
-
Track record of independently owning and delivering technical projects with minimal predefined requirements or roadmap.
-
Sharp eye for edge cases, subtle inconsistencies, and quality issues in synthetic or algorithmically generated datasets.
-
Familiarity with reinforcement learning paradigms, agentic AI workflows, or LLM post-training pipelines is a plus.
-
Strong communication skills for effective collaboration across time zones.
