Responsibilities

Post-training is the critical bridge between raw model capability and a system that is actually useful, safe, and effective in the real world. You will shape how our agents learn by iterating on training recipes, evaluations, and alignment methods that directly determine what Devin and our future…

  • Post-Training Recipe Development: Iterate on the full stack of datasets, training stages, and hyperparameters that determine model behavior.
  • Evaluation Design and Integrity: Build evals that actually capture what matters. The loop never ends: define, optimize, realize the gaps, and rebuild.
  • Deep Understanding: When training produces results that don't make sense, you dig until you understand why. The goal isn't just to fix it; it's to carry that understanding…
  • Alignment and Agent Behavior: Apply and advance techniques like RLHF, RLAIF, and constitutional approaches to shape how agents reason, act, and collaborate with humans in…
  • Scaling and Exploration: Measure how performance scales with data and compute, and develop new methodologies when existing ones hit ceilings. We expect both rigor and invention.
