Job description

We are seeking a Member of Technical Staff, Platform Engineer (Full Stack) to productionize AI research and build the scalable systems required to support model training, evaluation, and data collection., * Architect and scale our reinforcement learning environments platform and the underlying infrastructure required to support data collection at scale.

  • Build and operate scalable backend services, APIs, and data-generation pipelines.

  • Develop modular environment domains that integrate directly with model training and evaluation workflows.

  • Translate research requirements and prototypes into reliable, production-quality systems.

  • Build intuitive full-stack tools and interfaces that support research, engineering, and operational workflows.

  • Design resilient systems with a strong focus on reliability, observability, performance, maintainability, and security.

  • Develop and maintain data models, storage systems, and platform integrations.

  • Improve platform architecture and engineering practices to increase developer velocity and system quality.

  • Partner closely with Research, Product, Engineering, and Operations teams to define technical requirements and advance a shared roadmap.

  • Participate actively in technical design discussions and contribute sound judgment to architecture and system-design decisions.

  • Diagnose complex system issues and drive technical problems through resolution.
