Research Scientist – Reinforcement Learning (RL)

Percepta is an applied AI company focused on transforming critical industries through frontier technology. The Research Scientist – Reinforcement Learning will advance RL research for real-world decision-making, develop experimental infrastructure and conduct large-scale evaluations, and collaborate with engineers and product managers to deploy successful research into robust platform features.

Responsibilities:

• Identifying which real-world challenges are tractable for RL-guided decision making
• Develop RL methods to perform complex tasks in domains like planning, decision-making, or optimization
• Develop and maintain the experimental infrastructure that powers our research, from simulation environments and data pipelines to training and evaluation frameworks
• Conduct in-the-wild evaluations at scale that drive millions of dollars in value
• Partner with our applied AI engineers to transition successful research ideas into robust features of our Mosaic platform
• Communicate research outcomes to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, making sure everyone understands the “so what” of research and how to apply it
