Research Engineer, Synthetic Data

ABOUT THE ROLE Join an engineering team at an early-stage AI company building infrastructure for training and evaluating AI agents. You will develop synthetic data methods and systems that turn real-world workflows into useful training tasks, helping expand agent capabilities across professional and technical domains. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Build pipelines that transform domain-specific workflows into realistic, structured, and challenging synthetic training tasks. - Collaborate with subject-matter experts to create tasks across professional and technical domains. - Design generation methods and tools to mutate, validate, and improve synthetic tasks. - Analyze model and agent performance to understand task strengths, gaps, and failure modes. - Develop metrics for assessing task diversity, realism, learnability, and overall quality. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - Two to four years of relevant experience, with at least two years in software engineering, machine learning engineering, or AI research roles. - Hands-on experience building end-to-end synthetic data generation pipelines for AI or machine learning applications. - Proficiency in Python and experience working in Linux environments with Docker or similar containerization tools. - Practical knowledge of synthetic data quality, evaluation metrics, and the limitations of generated data. - Experience building automated systems for generating, validating, mutating, or processing structured datasets at scale. - Background in AI agent or language model evaluation, benchmarks, testing environments, or post-training workflows. - Ability to independently deliver technical projects, reason carefully about edge cases, and work effectively in an unstructured environment.
