The role
You will own the design, development, and production of Frontier Data Products. You will build sandboxed, reproducible environments, terminals, browsers, and tool-augmented workspaces that AI agents use during training and evaluation.
What you will do
- Design, build, and maintain sandboxed RL environments for agentic AI training
- Develop reproducible, containerized execution environments
- Integrate with and extend open-source agentic tooling and custom CLI/API harnesses
- Build instrumentation and observability layers
- Collaborate with data operations to design task curricula and evaluation protocols
- Own environment deployment and reliability including CI/CD pipelines and monitoring
- Rapidly prototype new environment types
Required qualifications
- 2+ years of professional software engineering experience
- Strong fundamentals in Python
- At least one systems-level language (Go, Rust, C++)
- Demonstrated experience with containerization and sandboxing (Docker, Podman, Firecracker, or similar) in production or near-production contexts
- Familiarity with RL concepts: MDPs, reward shaping, episode structure, observation/action spaces
- Experience building or maintaining developer tooling, CLI tools, or infrastructure automation
- Comfort working with browser automation frameworks or terminal interaction tooling
- Strong debugging instincts to trace failures across process boundaries, container layers, and network calls
- Ability to read and implement from academic papers and open-source benchmark repositories
Nice to have
- Direct experience building or contributing to RL environments (Gymnasium/Gym, PettingZoo, or custom environment implementations)
- Experience with agentic AI evaluation frameworks (SWE-bench, WebArena, OSWorld, TerminalBench, or similar)
- Familiarity with GCP or AWS infrastructure (Compute Engine, ECS/EKS, Cloud Build)
- Prior work at an AI data company, ML platform company, or AI research lab
- Contributions to open-source projects in the RL, agents, or dev-tools space
