Founding Junior RL Engineer/Researcher (Mediors welcome also)
Hybrid | Amsterdam / London / Paris | £100,000 + Founding Equity
The best AI engineers aren't waiting for a job ad. They're waiting for the right moment. This might be it.
Anthropic leadership has discussed spending over $1 billion on RL environments in the next year alone. The market is moving - fast and at scale. One pre-seed company just closed a round at a valuation most Series A companies would envy, with frontier AI labs already as paying clients and acquisition interest already on the table (x2).
The reason? They cracked something the rest of the market hasn't.
Most teams build RL environments from synthetic data - easy to demo, easy to commoditise, brittle. This team mines real human behavioural data - how domain experts actually reason, decide, and solve complex tasks over long-horizon workflows. 10-100+ step environments. Closed-loop systems where environments, data, training, and evaluation are tightly integrated. Not proxies. Not short cuts.
