About the role

We publish internally and encourage conference submissions. Our research team has contributed to NeurIPS and ICML over the past two years, and we expect new hires to continue that tradition — but with a twist. Every paper we publish must be grounded in a product application. You'll lead a research workstream on reward modeling and RLHF for our content moderation platform. The goal is to build alignment techniques that let our models adapt to client-specific content policies without full retraining. You'll have access to dedicated GPU clusters, a team of two research engineers, and a direct line to the VP of Engineering. This is a rare role that lets you do real research and see it deployed. If your ideal week includes reading papers on Monday, coding experiments on Tuesday through Thursday, and reviewing production metrics on Friday, you'll fit right in.

Responsibilities

Lead research on reward modeling and RLHF techniques
Design experiments to evaluate alignment approaches on production data
Publish findings at top-tier ML conferences
Collaborate with engineering to integrate research into the content moderation pipeline
Mentor research engineers on methodology and experimental design
