Research Engineer, Visual Knowledge WorkActive$350K

The opportunity

We're looking for a research engineer who believes that visual and spatial reasoning are core to fully unlocking the capabilities of LLMs. On the Vision team, you'll own the end-to-end process of creating training data and RL environments targeting visual knowledge work:…

What you'll do

  • Own the data strategy for vision capabilities end-to-end, from building evals and scaling RL environments

  • Manage technical relationships with external data vendors, including writing: task specifications, evaluating visual data and annotation quality, and iterating on reward design

  • Develop and improve QA frameworks that catch reward hacking and ensure environment quality at scale

  • Run generalization experiments to measure how data strategy changes improve: multimodal capabilities on held-out evaluations

  • Partner with pretraining, RL, and product teams, and do the science that: shows we’re all rowing in the same direction

  • Have 7+ years of ML, computer vision, and software engineering experience: through industry, academia, or other projects

What they're looking for

  • Have experience with reinforcement learning, reward design, or training data: curation for large language or vision-language models
  • Are familiar with the architecture, training, and operation of large vision language models
  • Are comfortable managing technical vendor relationships and iterating quickly on feedback
  • Are results-oriented, with a bias towards flexibility and impact
