Senior LLM Research Scientist

Location : SF Bay Area (On-site)

Were representing a cutting-edge AI organization building autonomous systems that can reason, plan, and interact with the physical world. This is a chance to join a small, elite research team pushing the frontier of LLM-driven autonomy.

The Opportunity

Youll lead research that powers intelligent agents capable of long-horizon reasoning, structured tool-use, and real-world decision-making. This is deep ML research with immediate, tangible impact.

What Youll Work On

  • Building LLM reasoning and planning frameworks
  • Designing structured tool-use, memory, reflection, and multi-step workflows
  • Developing safe, robust policies for autonomous systems
  • Training and evaluating models across real engineering and scientific tasks
  • Collaborating with systems, simulation, and infrastructure experts

What Were Looking For

  • Strong research background in LLMs, reasoning, or agents
  • Experience with SFT, RLHF / DPO, verifier-guided RL, or related training techniques
  • Ability to design and evaluate long-horizon behaviors
  • Comfort working in a fast, interdisciplinary R&D environment
  • Why Join

  • Build models that control real physical-world systems, NOT just simulations
  • Massive scope for autonomy, creativity, and impact
  • Competitive compensation + meaningful ownership
