Member of Technical Staff, Research

As a Member of Technical Staff (Research) at Quadrillion Labs youll help train our next-generation model for research creativity. This is genuinely hard: very few people have post-trained models at the scale of several hundred billion parameters and were doing it with a lean team and a set of ingenious ideas accumulating research data and training on it in an unusually data-efficient way. If youre excited about turning every arXiv paper on the internet into an RL environment or building fast RL loops between user data and model training this role may be for you.

What youll do

• Build infrastructure for model training. Youll build our ultra-efficient infrastructure for scraping and accumulating data turning it into RL environments and post-training our frontier model especially on extremely long-horizon tasks.

• Develop RL techniques. No one has figured out how to train a model thats truly good at research yet. You can help us change that with mysterious RL techniques.

• Construct and run evaluations and benchmarks. Build evaluations for complex long-horizon tasks and measure both frontier models and our own against them so we know whats working and where to push next.

Required qualifications

• Experience training or benchmarking large modern models

• Ability to move quickly in a zero-to-one environment

Preferred qualifications

• Experience training hundreds-of-billions-of-parameters frontier models

About Quadrillion

Quadrillion Labs builds Qualia an agentic research intelligence platform that does real computational research running experiments analyzing data and surfacing insight for the people who do this work at the highest level.

Were a team out of Stanford NLP HRT Citadel Jane Street Google Research and Harvard Med building for an audience that looks a lot like us. Weve raised $18M from Conviction Audacious Bloomberg Beta ex/ante and angels including Wes McKinney the creator of pandas. Were 10 people in NYC scaling to 15 in the coming months.

We think this is the Industrial Revolution moment for research and were building the team to define what comes next.
