About the Role

Our client is looking for a brilliant AI Research Scientist specializing in Reinforcement Learning (RL) to join their innovative research division, working remotely. This role is at the cutting edge of AI & Emerging Technologies , focused on advancing the frontiers of autonomous decision-making and control systems. You will conduct foundational and applied research to develop novel RL algorithms and apply them to solve complex, real-world problems.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a highly motivated researcher to contribute to groundbreaking advancements in AI and publish their work in leading scientific venues.

Key Responsibilities
  • Conduct cutting-edge research in reinforcement learning, developing new algorithms and theoretical frameworks.
  • Design and implement experiments to test and validate RL algorithms using simulations and real-world data.
  • Collaborate with engineers to integrate research prototypes into larger AI systems and products.
  • Analyze and interpret experimental results, and communicate findings through publications, presentations, and internal reports.
  • Stay current with the latest research trends in RL, machine learning, and related fields.
Requirements
  • PhD in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, or a related quantitative field.
  • A strong publication record in top-tier AI/ML conferences and journals (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, AAAI).
  • Deep theoretical understanding and practical experience in reinforcement learning algorithms (e.g., Q-learning, Policy Gradients, Actor-Critic methods).
  • Proficiency in Python and deep learning frameworks such as Tensor Flow or PyTorch.
  • Experience with simulation environments or applying RL to complex control problems is highly desirable.
Benefits
  • Industry-leading salary and comprehensive benefits package.
  • Fully remote work opportunity, allowing for global collaboration and flexibility.
  • Significant investment in research, with access to state-of-the‑art computational resources.
  • Support for attending and presenting at leading international conferences.
