About the Team
The Post-Training team is responsible for training and improving pre-trained models to be deployed into ChatGPT, the API, and future products. The team partners closely with research and product teams across the company, and conducts research as a final step to prepare for real world deployment to millions of users, ensuring that our models are safe, efficient, and reliable.
The Science of Post-training team is responsible for advancing the frontier of RLHF. We combine rigorous scientific experimentation with strong technical execution to drive progress in model alignment. Our goal is to develop insights that would make model training more robust and efficient. We contribute to core model deployments like GPT-4.1 and o3, but our main mandate is to pursue foundational research that will guide the trajectory of future model development.
About the Role
As a Research Scientist on the Science of Post-training team, you will be responsible for developing a theoretical and empirical understanding of post-training techniques.
Were looking for people with a background in reinforcement learning research, who can iterate quickly and bring a rigorous scientific lens to training production-scale models.
This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.
In this role, you will:
Design and execute experiments to study the mechanics and efficacy of RL algorithms
Develop new theoretical frameworks to explain and predict behavior of post-training systems
Collaborate with cross-functional teams on the deployment and evaluation of safe, aligned models in production
You might thrive in this role if:
You have a strong foundation in computer science, statistics, machine learning, physics, robotics, or a similarly rigorous theoretical and empirical discipline
You are excited to work at the intersection of scientific research and real-world deployment
You value rapid iteration via simple, well-executed experimentation
You are a strong programmer, who would feel comfortable engaging with low-level technical details
