The role

Join a frontier NYC AI lab to build the digital gyms where the next generation of AI agents learn to think. We’re partnering with a global leader in AI training to create hyper-realistic simulations that teach agents to master complex enterprise software.

As a Research Assistant (AI), you define what “good” looks like for the AI agent by writing the "rulebook" and job descriptions it follows. You will design the prompts that guide AI agents through tasks in environments, ensuring the instructions are logical, clear, and efficient. You will review demonstrations and data to ensure the AI is learning exactly what it should, identifying even the smallest inconsistencies before they become part of the model’s "brain".
