Edward Mann are hiring for an excellent Technology Start-up based in San Francisco.
About the Role
We are seeking a Head of Computer Use / Senior AI Engineer (hands on role). Driving the evolution of the next generation of browser agents (testing browser agents).
To lead the design, training, and advancement of next-generation AI agent systems. This role involves fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) and developing intelligent agents capable of navigating and interacting with real web environments. It’s a high-impact position combining hands-on engineering, experimentation, and strategic input. You’ll collaborate closely with technical leadership, contribute directly to product direction, and mentor other engineers in developing advanced agent capabilities.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop, train, and deploy LLM-powered agents that interact with websites through real browser interfaces.
- Fine-tune foundation models using advanced methods (e.g., LoRA, PEFT, DPO, RLHF) and select the best approach for each use case.
- Design reinforcement learning systems that improve agent reasoning, adaptability, and task performance.
- Own the full agent pipeline—from model architecture and policy design to simulation frameworks and testing environments.
- Rapidly prototype, run experiments, and refine solutions to push the limits of agent performance.
- Partner with technical leadership to shape product direction and research priorities.
- Mentor and support other engineers, helping to grow a strong, mission-driven technical team.
- Build and coordinate multi-agent workflows with structured roles, memory systems, and effective trajectories.
What You’ll Bring
Strong background in machine learning with a PhD or equivalent industry experience in AI / ML / Computer Science.Hands-on experience fine-tuning LLMs.Deep applied knowledge of reinforcement learning techniques.Experience building agents for real-world applications (bonus : browser-based or robotics experience).Strong coding and experimentation skills, with a preference for practical problem-solving over theory alone.A sense of ownership and drive to build impactful systems beyond titles or hierarchy.Experience mentoring, managing, or growing technical teams.Preferred Qualifications
Record of impactful research publications or open-source contributions.Experience in high-growth, fast-paced start-up environments.
