About us

We are building AI systems that can reason, use tools, and complete meaningful work in the real world. Our team works across model post-training, reinforcement-learning infrastructure, large-scale training, and product engineering. We believe the fastest path to more capable and reliable agents is an integrated loop: challenging environments, rigorous evaluations, efficient training, reliable inference, and products that make those capabilities useful.

About the role

You will join as a full member of the technical team—not as an observer. Depending on your strengths and the highest-priority problems, you may work on model post-training, RL environments, distributed systems, training or inference performance, backend services, APIs, SDKs, or developer tools.

This role is designed primarily for early-career engineers completing or recently completing a bachelor's or master's degree, or demonstrating equivalent ability through their work. We are looking for raw technical strength, evidence of initiative, and unusual learning speed. A strong academic record can be one signal, but school brand is not a requirement. We are equally interested in candidates whose ability shows up through open-source contributions, ambitious personal projects, research, internships, competitions, startup work, or products used by real people.

Candidates completing a PhD or bringing equivalent research depth may be a stronger fit for our Member of Technical Staff, Research — Early Career role.

What you'll do
  • Own meaningful technical projects with clear user, research, or infrastructure impact; take them from problem definition through implementation, testing, rollout, and iteration.

  • Write simple, high-quality code and learn the surrounding system deeply enough to make sound design and debugging decisions.

  • Investigate ambiguous failures across unfamiliar layers, use evidence to narrow the problem, and ask for help in ways that accelerate the whole team.

  • Contribute wherever the mission requires, which may include ML experiments, data or evaluation pipelines, distributed services, performance work, product features, and developer tooling.

  • Build tests, metrics, documentation, and operational tools so that your work is reliable and maintainable rather than a one-time demo.

  • Participate actively in design discussions and code reviews; communicate clearly, incorporate feedback quickly, and improve the quality of the team's decisions.

  • Use modern AI development tools thoughtfully while verifying outputs and maintaining independent technical judgment.

  • Share what you learn through internal notes, technical deep dives, examples, or open-source contributions where appropriate.

You may be a good fit if you have
  • Graduating soon or recently graduated with a bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics, or a related field—or equivalent ability demonstrated through your work. Roughly zero to two years of full-time industry experience is typical.

  • Exceptional coding ability in at least one general-purpose language, supported by code, projects, internships, research, competitions, or other concrete evidence.

  • Strong computer-science fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, systems, and the ability to reason precisely about performance and correctness.

  • A track record of learning difficult material quickly and completing ambitious work with limited structure.

  • Grit, curiosity, humility, and a willingness to work hard on the highest-impact problem—even when it is outside your initial area of expertise.

  • Clear communication and the ability to collaborate in a direct, fast-moving, low-ego environment.

Strong pluses
  • Meaningful contributions to a technically demanding open-source project or a substantial independent system used by others.

  • Experience with ML systems, large language models, distributed systems, compilers, databases, networking, GPUs, or performance engineering.

  • Strong results in research, competitive programming, systems or ML competitions, technical internships, or early-stage startup work.

  • Evidence that you can turn an idea into a working artifact quickly, measure whether it works, and improve it from…
