The role

This role is for Nebius AI R&D, a team focused on applied research in AI. Examples of applied research that we have recently published include: applying reinforcement learning for agent training in long-context multi-turn scenarios dramatically scaling task data collection to power reinforcement learning for SWE agents building a decontaminated evaluation for SWE agents that is regularly updated investigating how test-time guided search can be used to build more powerful agents The results often lead to collaboration with adjacent teams where our research findings are applied in practice.

We are currently looking for senior- and staff-level ML engineers to work on research in areas such as:

Guided search and reinforcement learning for agentic systems Reinforcement learning for reasoning models Web-scale problem collection for training agents Efficient model distillation Some examples of what your responsibilities might include are:

Conducting experiments to figure out efficient ways to train a large language model on traces of interactions with various environments Exploring methods of guided generation and search in the trajectory space Coming up with ways to mine relevant data at web scale and figuring out efficient ways to use this data in model post-training Conducting experiments with different reinforcement learning configurations in verifiable domains Exploring methods to train AI agents on tasks with non-verifiable reward signals

We expect you to have:

A profound understanding of theoretical foundations of machine learning and reinforcement learning
Deep expertise in modern deep learning for language processing and generation
Substantial experience with training large models on multiple computational nodes
Strong software engineering skills (we mostly use python)
Deep experience with modern deep learning frameworks (we use jax)
Strong communication and leadership abilities
Experience designing, executing, and analyzing machine learning experiments with proper statistical rigor
Ability to formulate research questions, design experiments to test hypotheses, and draw meaningful conclusions from results
Ability to document research findings clearly and contribute to technical publications or report

Nice to have:

Experience with deep reinforcement learning for LLMs, including techniques such as reward modeling, DPO, PPO etc
Familiarity with important ideas in LLM space, such as RoPE, ZeRO/FSDP, Flash Attention, quantization
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, or a related field Master’s or PhD preferred
Track record of building and delivering products (not necessarily ML-related) in a dynamic startup-like environment
Experience in engineering complex systems, such as large distributed data processing systems or high-load web services
Open-source projects that showcase your engineering prowess
Excellent command of the English language, alongside superior writing, articulation, and communication skills
Proficiency in contemporary software engineering approaches, including CI/CD, version control and unit testing

Benefits & Perks:

Competitive compensation
Career growth and learning opportunities
Flexibility and ownership
Collaborative and innovative culture
Opportunity to work on impactful AI projects
International environment and talented teams

What's it like to work at Nebius :

Fast moving - Bold thinking - Constant growth - Meaningful impact - Trust and real ownership - Opportunity to shape the future of AI
