Overview
The LLM Data Company (YC X25) provides post-training data and RL environments to foundation model labs and frontier applied AI companies. We have raised $3.6m from Tier 1 VCs and are growing 200%+ month-over-month. Responsibilities
Design and implement scalable RL recipes for post-training task-specific models
Develop modular environments, reward functions, and evaluator scaffolds for internal and customer-facing tasks
Drive research at the intersection of scalable infra and modern RL frameworks to enable RL-as-a-service
Drive foundational research to publish open source environments and training data
Build data generation and curation pipelines to support frontier post-training
Collaborate with product teams to deliver a user friendly interface for non-technical users to generate data
Qualifications
Master or PhD in Computer Science or related field
