Research Scientist (AI)

TL;DR

Research Scientist (AI): Driving end-to-end ambiguous research problems in RL or mid-training, forming hypotheses, and building training/eval/data to test them. Focus on improving understanding of RL for longer horizon tasks, training graders for coding, and enhancing data quality for model training.
