Simulation environments to train & evaluate long-horizon AI agents. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
We’re hiring a Founding Member of Technical Staff - Research to help advance the frontier of autonomous agents. You’ll work on core research problems in long-horizon evaluation, agent post-training, and environment design, with a focus on understanding where current models fail and how to improve them. As a member of the founding team, you should expect to wear multiple hats: building benchmarks, creating environments, writing production code, and running rigorous experiments.
More about this role
Polymath is an applied research lab focused on advancing long-horizon agent capabilities through reinforcement learning. We design and scale simulation environments where agents learn to operate safely and autonomously. We work with the world’s leading model labs to push the frontier of agent capabilities. We've raised >$8M from Base10, Cervin Ventures, Founders Future, Y Combinator, and other incredible investors & angels.
