RESEARCH SCIENTIST - AGENTIC RL - REMOTE

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES • Reward Design & Long-Term Decision Making: Develop effective reward mechanisms and solve long-term credit assignment challenges by connecting an agent’s short-term decisions with delayed outcomes, such as customer satisfaction, product returns, and user retention. • User Modeling & Adaptive Agent Behavior: Design systems that can understand changing user preferences and behaviors, manage uncertainty, and determine the appropriate response, including asking questions, making recommendations, taking actions, or waiting for more information. • Policy Optimization & Evaluation: Develop reliable offline evaluation methods, establish strong experimental baselines, and conduct ablation studies to measure and improve agent performance. Explore advanced RL techniques as more real-world data becomes available. • Research & Engineering Collaboration: Work closely with infrastructure and engineering teams to transform complex product challenges into research problems and implement research ideas as testable agent behaviors in real-world production environments. REQUIREMENTS • Reinforcement Learning Expertise: Strong research experience in Reinforcement Learning, with a track record of applying RL techniques to practical, real-world problems. • Programming & ML Skills: Strong proficiency in Python and hands-on experience with modern ML/RL frameworks such as PyTorch, JAX, or similar tools. • Strong Analytical & Research Skills: Ability to critically evaluate metrics, investigate benchmark results, identify potential limitations, and conduct rigorous experiments and ablation studies.
