Impact-Driven Research Scientist: SFT & RL Evaluations

Product Pulse

Product Pulse is building post-training research to prove our data works. We’re hiring 2–3 Research Scientists to design and run training experiments, isolate the impact of our datasets, and turn results into clear, defensible evidence that informs model development and partnerships. You’ll run SFT and RL post-training studies, quantify lift across reasoning and domain-specific tasks, and collaborate with partner labs to drive improvements and support sales. #J-18808-Ljbffr Product Pulse
