## About the role

We're looking for Research Engineers to automate QC for training data created by companies using HUD’s infrastructure.

## What they're looking for

- Proficiency in Python, Docker, and Linux environments
- Strong understanding of what “good data” means and how to measure it
- Genuine curiosity of different domains and great at asking questions to understand them
- Built scalable data validation pipelines and automated QA/QC systems end-to-end without a fully prescribed roadmap
- Experience working on benchmarks and evals - you can reason about what makes a task realistic, a rubric reliable, an environment usable, and a trajectory useful for RL training
- Early-stage startup experience with ability to work independently in fast-paced environments
