About Ethos

What You'll Work On
- Designing and building RL environments and data generation pipelines that feed into post-training workflows
- Agentic infrastructure that sources, screens, and routes domain experts at scale
- Evaluation frameworks to close the loop between data quality and model performance
Key Requirements
- Hands-on experience building RL environments or generating data for post-training (RLHF, RLAIF, preference data, evals) — this is central to the role
- Startup experience — you've shipped in resource-constrained environments and taken real ownership
- Strong background building AI/agentic applications (LLM pipelines, tool use, evals)
- Generalist instincts - you'd rather solve the problem than protect your lane
- Comfortable across the stack: backend, infra, and ML tooling
