- Optimise frameworks to enable complex inference-time reasoning.
- Develop environments and harnesses for agents.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
- Experienced with large-scale reinforcement learning systems.
- Designing and implementing distributed systems.

If your application passes this stage, you will be invited to a 15 minute interview (“phone interview”) during which a member of our team will ask some basic questions. If you clear the initial phone interview, you will enter the main process, which consists of four technical interviews:
- Coding assessment in a language of your choice.
- Systems hands-on: Demonstrate practical skills in a live problem-solving session.
