Job description

About the company

Our client is a technology company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Lead a research agenda in offline reinforcement learning, taking ideas from initial question through to shared findings. The position prizes scientific depth and judgment over engineering breadth, and pairs you with a more established colleague while leaving space to chart your own path.

What you'll do

- Drive offline reinforcement learning research from start to finish, including choosing which questions to pursue and communicating the outcomes.

- Raise the performance of learned control policies on internal evaluation suites and build on earlier policy work.

- Train models on large, uneven-quality collections of data where feedback is scarce, applying several value estimation approaches.

- Investigate model-based methods and learned environment models for continuous control.

- Examine what keeps reinforcement learning training stable as data, compute and model scale increase.

- Design rigorous experiments with dependable baselines and watch findings get tested on physical robots.

Requirements

What we're looking for

- Background in reinforcement learning research, in a research or applied scientist capacity, connected to generative visual models.

- A record of papers accepted at leading machine learning or robotics venues.

- Depth in core and offline reinforcement learning topics, such as value estimation, goal-directed learning, policy design and training stability at scale.

- Familiarity with model-based methods for continuous control or with multimodal value estimation.

- An advanced degree (PhD or master's) in machine learning, computer science or an adjacent area, centered on reinforcement learning.

- Ability to work on-site six days a week.

Bonus points

- Prior exposure to visual generative models applied to robotics.

- Time spent doing research at a top-tier AI organization.

- Contributions to publicly shared reinforcement learning codebases.

- Experience with large-scale simulation, sim-to-real transfer or robotics, including JAX.

Benefits

Compensation and benefits

- Base salary: USD 200,000 to 350,000 per year

- Equity

- Health, dental and vision coverage

Location and work model

- San Francisco, CA, United States

- On-site, 6 days per week in office

- Full-time
