Research Scientist – Machine Learning Location:

SF Bay Area (On-site)

We’re representing a cutting-edge AI organization building autonomous systems that can reason, plan, and interact with the physical world. This is a chance to join a small, elite research team pushing the frontier of LLM-driven autonomy.

The Opportunity You’ll lead research that powers intelligent agents capable of long-horizon reasoning, structured tool-use, and real-world decision-making. This is deep ML research with immediate, tangible impact.

What You’ll Work On

Building LLM reasoning and planning frameworks

Designing structured tool-use, memory, reflection, and multi-step workflows

Developing safe, robust policies for autonomous systems

Training and evaluating models across real engineering and scientific tasks

Collaborating with systems, simulation, and infrastructure experts

What We’re Looking For

Strong research background in LLMs, reasoning, or agents

Experience with SFT, RLHF/DPO, verifier-guided RL, or related training techniques

Ability to design and evaluate long-horizon behaviors

Comfort working in a fast, interdisciplinary R&D environment

Why Join

Build models that control real physical-world systems, not just simulations

Massive scope for autonomy, creativity, and impact

Competitive compensation + meaningful ownership

Seniority Level Mid-Senior level

Employment Type Full-time
