Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Generate and investigate research ideas to solve obstacles to continuous learning for self-improving AI agents. Collaborate with the OpenPipe team to validate research directions across real customer tasks and implement them across the technical stack.
Requires a degree in CS, ML, or Robotics with 4+ years of ML experience (or a PhD with 2+ years) focusing on model training. Must be proficient in Python and modern ML frameworks with a deep understanding of LLM post-training techniques.
The OpenPipe team at CoreWeave is building tools to help agents learn from experience. This is a critical step to make agents reliable enough to perform long tasks autonomously, in the same way human employees are. We're systematically identifying and solving the major bottlenecks between today's tech and those future self-improving agents. So far, we've:
These releases have a theme: we're systematically tackling each major roadblock to successfully training self-improving agents. Several serious challenges remain. Building simulated environments often requires substantial human labor, and existing training methods are not data efficient enough. We're laser-focused on solving these problems and making self-improvement a reality for agent developers. In startup terms, this is a classic hard-tech bet. Our roadmap involves substantial technical risk; there are still major technical problems we're facing without a proven solution. However, there is very little market risk. We've worked closely with the teams building agents at many of the top AI-native startups as well as large enterprises. If we can build this, everyone will want it. A self improving agent that learns from experience the way a human employee would could quickly capture a large fraction of the total inference market, which is worth tens of billions of dollars today and will be worth hundreds of billions in a few years.
You have trained LLMs to be SOTA on specific tasks. You have opinions on whether sequence-level or token-level importance ratios are more effective. You probably shared the ScaleRL paper in your group chats, and kicked off a few ablations after you read it. This is an applied research role. You will be expected to generate and investigate research ideas towards solving the remaining obstacles to continuous learning in production. You will work with the broader OpenPipe team to validate these research directions across real customer tasks. We are very GPU rich and are ready to direct an enormous amount of compute at this effort. Beyond your role's specific qualifications, we're looking for strong engineers with great taste. The most important qualification by far is that you learn fast and can ship. This role will inevitably involve a lot of learning on the job; we're building this airplane as we fly it. Engineers on our team touch everything from CUDA kernels to high-performance LLM tracing dashboards, and you will have an opportunity to touch many parts of this stack. Although we operate as part of a larger company, the OpenPipe team is small, has a large degree of autonomy and drives our own roadmap and priorities. This is an excellent role for someone looking to found their own company in the future.
Our Stack
We strive to use the best tool for the job when building and deploying our production services. Sometimes that means writing our own custom code, and often it means leaning on the work of others. As part of building Serverless RL, we depend on the following libraries and frameworks (among many others):
Wondering if you're a good fit?
We believe in investing in our people, and value candidates who can bring their own diversified experiences to our teams – even if you aren't a 100% skill or experience match.
