Founding Research Engineer

This role combines collaboration with hand-on work. You’ll work with the founders to set technical direction, take ownership of execution, and contribute directly to the systems you lead. You should be comfortable designing complex systems and diving into the implementation yourself.

• Grow and lead a small, high-performing team, setting clear expectations and maintaining a high bar for technical quality and execution.
• Set technical direction and make foundational architecture and system-design decisions, with a focus on reliability and performance.
• Build core systems, including agent harnesses, robot simulation and evaluation environments, trace-collection pipelines, and infrastructure for post-training models.
• Recruit and close exceptional engineering and research talent.
