Responsibilities
Perform end-to-end agentic system development: define agent goals and decomposition strategies; design planners, controllers, and executors; implement tool-use orchestration (APIs, SQL, vector search, code execution) and robust recovery/rollback
Advance planning and reasoning: hierarchical/task planning, self-reflection and critique, debate/tree-search methods, constraint satisfaction, and chain-of-thought/toolformer-style approaches to improve correctness, faithfulness, and robustness
Ground LLMs on unstructured data: build retrieval and indexing over documents, semi-structured data
Ensure safety, privacy, and compliance: content safety policies, least-privilege tool access, execution sandboxes, prompt/memory redaction, PII handling, and governance appropriate for regulated enterprise settings; implement interpretable action logs
Productionize agentic solutions: collaborate with platform teams to ship planning/orchestration services and evaluation harnesses; implement observability, telemetry, canarying, rollback, and lifecycle management for agent workflows
Stay current with research and translate advances into production differentiators; mentor teammates and contribute to a culture of scientific rigor and impact
Qualification
Required
PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, Electrical Engineering, or related field with a focus relevant to LLMs, planning/reasoning, NLP, or autonomous/interactive systems
Experience (industry or applied research) building and deploying ML/LLM systems, including agentic workflows, retrieval/grounding, and evaluation at scale
Demonstrated expertise in agentic methods: multi-step planning, tool-use orchestration, reflection/critique, and structured reasoning (e.g., CoT, programmatic planning)
Strong background in retrieval over unstructured data, RAG architectures, document preprocessing, indexing, and provenance tracking for accuracy, safety, and robustness
Proficient in Python and modern ML stacks: PyTorch/JAX, Transformers, vector databases/IR libraries, orchestration frameworks; solid software engineering practices and experimentation discipline
Track record of publications in top venues (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, EMNLP, NAACL) or equivalent demonstrated impact in production systems
Preferred
Experience designing data/feedback pipelines for agent evaluation: step-level labeling, trace audits, and active learning for hard cases; familiarity with bias/variance trade-offs
Knowledge of search/planning and decision-making: tree search, bandits for tool/model selection, off-policy evaluation for policy changes, and statistical testing for online experiments
Familiarity with LLM efficiency and serving: PEFT/LoRA/QLoRA, quantization, KV cache management, batching, speculative decoding, routing across models/skills, and throughput/latency trade-offs
Experience integrating safety/guardrails and policy enforcement: sandboxed tool execution, OAuth/secret management, rate-limiting, jailbreak/prompt-injection defenses, and privacy-preserving telemetry aligned with enterprise compliance
Comfortable collaborating across research, engineering, product, and legal/compliance; excellent communication skills to explain methods and results to technical and non-technical stakeholders
Practical experience with experiment tracking, model registries, CI/CD for ML, and production observability for agent traces and actions
