Member of Technical Staff - Forward Deployed Engineer

• Work directly with frontier AI labs and enterprise customers to understand requirements and what they need from an RL environment
• Translate customer requirements into concrete technical specs our platform and project pods can build against.
• Build 0→1 – prototype, ship, and iterate on customer-specific environments and tooling before any of it becomes a platform feature.
• Use and extend our internal platforms and dev tooling rather than rebuilding them.
• Embed with SPL project pods to unblock delivery: integration, technical debugging, and the last-mile problems that decide whether a project lands.
• Feed patterns back to the platform team so one-off solutions become reusable capability.
• Own technical credibility in customer conversations, from scoping through delivery.

• Financial services domain exposure (investment banking, private equity, hedge funds).
• Former founders or experience at early-stage startups.

• 2+ years of experience in consulting or forward-deployed engineering roles for large enterprises with custom software, systems, and requirements
• Strong engineering ability paired with genuine comfort interacting directly in front of customers
• A track record of 0→1 work: shipping something that did not exist, under ambiguity, without waiting for a spec.
• The ability to translate fuzzy customer language into technical requirements, and technical constraints back into plain terms.
• Startup speed: iterate quick, ask quick, respond quick, make mistakes quick.
• Experience building evals, environments, and benchmarks for AI Agents

• Healthcare – Fully covered medical, dental, and vision for you. Subsidized for dependents.
• Relocation – $10k+ relocation stipend to help you get to San Francisco.
• 401(k) — Up to 4% employer match.
• Food – Free breakfast, lunch, and dinner while working.
• Health – Free gym membership.
• Transportation – Free Ubers and Waymo rides to and from the office.
• Visa sponsorship – We sponsor visas, including H-1B.

Halluminate is a data research lab building benchmarks and RL environments to push the frontier of AI in knowledge work.

Our first area of focus is economically valuable workflows in financial services and consulting, but we are rapidly expanding into adjacent verticals.
