Principal AI/ML Researcher – Reasoning, Planning, and Decision-making Systems

Job Description: • Drive foundational and applied research in reasoning engines, planning architectures, and decision-making frameworks at scale. • Advance techniques in LLM/LRM post-training, reinforcement learning–based decisioning, and knowledge-integrated agents. • Design methods for plan induction, value estimation, and contingency modeling within intelligent agents. • Explore and validate protocols for distributed reasoning and joint planning among cooperative agents in multi-agent systems. • Architect RPD systems that integrate post-trained LLMs/LRMs, graph-structured memory (e.g., KGs), and RL-driven controllers. • Design recursive task planners, search-based or policy-based reasoners, and belief-state trackers that can interoperate with large model substrates. • Build and evolve stateful, dynamic models that combine supervised learning with online/offline reinforcement, simulation-based rollouts, and symbol grounding. • Set direction for planning/reasoning infrastructure within the AI/ML platform strategy. Requirements: • Masters or equivalent in Computer Science, AI, Cognitive Science, or related fields. • Recent published work or patents in AI, Cognitive Science, or related fields. • 15+ years in AI/ML, including post-training architectures and production-scale reasoning systems. • Advanced coding proficiency in Java, Python, C++, or similar, with experience in ML/RL frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, Ray, JAX, RLlib) at scale. • Proven experience integrating LLMs/LRMs with Knowledge Graphs or structured world models. • Deep understanding of Reinforcement Learning and its application to decisioning and planning. • Fluency in hybrid model architectures: connectionist-symbolic fusion, retrieval-based agents, or goal-directed transformers. • Experience working on multi-agent coordination, distributed RL, or cooperative inference systems.
