Research Engineer, Post-Training

WE ARE AN APPLIED AI LAB BUILDING END-TO-END SOFTWARE AGENTS. We're the makers of Devin, the first AI software engineer. Our team is extremely talent-dense. Among our founding team, we have world-class competitive programmers, former founders, and leaders from companies at the cutting edge of AI including Scale AI, Palantir, Cursor, Waymo, Tesla, Lunchclub, Modal, Google DeepMind, and Nuro. Building Devin is just the first step—our hardest challenges still lie ahead. If you’re excited to solve some of the world’s biggest problems and build AI that can reason on real-world tasks, apply to join us. ROLE MISSION Post-training is the critical bridge between raw model capability and a system that is actually useful, safe, and effective in the real world. You will shape how our agents learn by iterating on training recipes, evaluations, and alignment methods that directly determine what Devin and our future systems can do. This role blends deep research and hands-on engineering. We don't distinguish between the two. WHAT YOU'LL ACCOMPLISH - Post-Training Recipe Development: Iterate on the full stack of datasets, training stages, and hyperparameters that determine model behavior. Measure how choices compound across evals and production performance, not just isolated benchmarks. - Evaluation Design and Integrity: Build evals that actually capture what matters. The loop never ends: define, optimize, realize the gaps, and rebuild. You'll be responsible for making numbers go up and making sure the numbers mean something. - Deep Understanding: When training produces results that don't make sense, you dig until you understand why. The goal isn't just to fix it; it's to carry that understanding forward to the next problem. - Alignment and Agent Behavior: Apply and advance techniques like RLHF, RLAIF, and constitutional approaches to shape how agents reason, act, and collaborate with humans in long-horizon tasks. - Scaling and Exploration: Measure how performance scales with data
