At a glance
As an AI Research Scientist - Infrastructure Engineer, Reinforcement Learning, you will own reinforcement learning infrastructure at scale across large GPU fleets. You will make research scientists productive by building reliable systems for distributed policy and value training, rollout generation, logging, checkpointing, and researcher-facing APIs. Your daily work involves designing and implementing distributed training stacks using data or pipeline parallelism integrated with schedulers and storage. You will build high-throughput rollout workers, trajectory stores, and reward computation pipelines while instrumenting jobs to handle debugging, autoscaling, and preemption-safe checkpointing. The role requires expertise in PyTorch or JAX, NCCL/MPI-style distributed training, GPU cluster orchestration, and C++/Python performance tuning. You will solve technical challenges related to RL training infrastructure, LLM post-training pipelines, and large-scale experiment management to improve throughput, fault tolerance, and observability for research programs.
