About the role

Role overview

You will lead next-generation AI/ML research and engineering focused on reasoning, planning, and decision-making systems. The work includes designing and deploying multi-agent AI architectures and influencing company-wide AI design and deployment.

Key missions

  • Invent, scale, and operationalize intelligent decisioning substrates combining symbolic and sub-symbolic approaches.
  • Drive foundational and applied research in reasoning engines, planning architectures, and decision-making frameworks—integrating generative AI into business applications.
  • Lead development of multi-agent reasoning systems, including:
    • inter-agent knowledge exchange principles
    • goal delegation mechanisms
    • cooperative decision resolution

Requirements

  • Deep understanding of Reinforcement Learning (RL) for decisioning and planning.
  • Proven experience integrating LLMs/LRMs with Knowledge Graphs and/or structured world models.
  • Recent published work or patents in AI, cognitive science, or related areas.
  • Fluency in hybrid model architectures, such as:
    • connectionist–symbolic fusion
    • retrieval-based agents
    • goal-directed transformers
  • Advanced coding skills in Java, Python, C++, or similar and experience with ML/RL frameworks at scale (e.g., PyTorch, Ray, JAX, RLlib).
  • 15+ years AI/ML experience, including post-training architectures and production-scale reasoning systems.
  • Master’s (or equivalent) in Computer Science, AI, Cognitive Science, or related fields.
  • Experience with multi-agent coordination, distributed RL, or cooperative inference.
  • Experience with distributed intelligence platforms featuring explicit agent interaction models and collective decision-making logic.
  • Experience with memory architectures, task graphs, or semantic program induction.
  • Ability to lead research-to-production transitions cross-functionally.
  • Experience in cognitive architectures, neuro-symbolic systems, or agent-based simulation environments.
  • Published work/patents in multi-agent reasoning, plan synthesis, knowledge-augmented learning, or generative control.
  • Ph.D. in AI/ML/Robotics/Cognitive Systems or related areas.

Nice-to-haves

  • Strong background in generative control and/or knowledge-augmented learning.
  • Prior contributions to agent-based simulation environments and neuro-symbolic systems.
