TL;DR · Reinforcement Learning AI Engineer

The Reinforcement Learning AI Engineer joins a community of ML engineers to develop solutions for complex decision-making problems of national importance. You will design, implement, and train reinforcement learning and multi-agent reinforcement learning algorithms, transitioning trained models into production systems. Daily responsibilities include building scalable training pipelines, evaluating agents in simulated environments, and defining reward structures with domain experts. You will utilize Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX, while potentially using C++ or Rust for high-performance components. The role requires experience with Gym or PettingZoo interfaces and knowledge of artificial neural networks. You will solve technical problems in autonomy and control systems, leveraging cloud compute, containerization, and orchestration technologies to deliver operational capabilities for space, military, and intelligence applications.

What you'll do

  • Design, implement, and train reinforcement learning and multi-agent reinforcement learning algorithms for complex decision-making.
  • Develop scalable training pipelines using Python and modern machine learning frameworks.
  • Build and evaluate agents in simulated environments using Gym, PettingZoo, or custom high-fidelity simulators.
  • Apply specific RL techniques including policy optimization, value-based learning, model-based RL, and imitation learning.
  • Implement distributed training workflows leveraging cloud compute, containerization, and orchestration technologies.
  • Transition trained models into production systems following strong software engineering best practices.
  • Contribute to system architecture and performance optimization in Python, C++, or Rust.

What we're looking for

  • 3+ years of experience developing and training RL agents.
  • Experience with AI, data science, ML engineering, or software engineering.
  • Experience with Gym or PettingZoo interfaces.
  • Experience with ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX.
  • Experience developing technical solutions using Rust, Python, or C++.
  • Knowledge of RL and artificial neural networks.
  • Bachelor's degree in a CS, AI, or Engineering field.
  • Secret clearance.
