RL Environment Software Engineer

$180,000–$220,000 year

RemoteUnited States

Full TimeBachelors DegreeStartup

Job Summary

Design and build high-quality RL environments that simulate real working environments end to end, developing agents for tasks within those environments until they are efficient and production-ready. Partner with the research team to scope which environments to build and why, staying ahead of future demand rather than only meeting present needs. Own the backend and infrastructure layers that make environments reliable and scalable while helping set engineering standards for a zero-to-one team as the RL function grows. This role sits at the intersection of research engineering and traditional software engineering, helping predict what high-quality environments the frontier will need next.

Required Qualifications

  • Strong machine-learning engineers who code heavily and build systems from scratch, with strong intuition for reinforcement learning
  • Proficiency across a modern stack, Node.js and Python on the backend and React/TypeScript on the frontend, with strong Kubernetes and Docker skills
  • Comfort operating in a fast-paced startup environment with high ownership and long hours
  • A track record of meaningful tenure and impact at previous companies
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience

Desired Qualifications

  • Reinforcement-learning experience or an RL research background
