| Research Scientist Research Scientist at Cursor focused on automating coding by training frontier coding agents. The role involves driving RL or mid-training research, owning ambiguous research problems end-to-end, and pushing results into the next model. Key responsibilities include improving RL understanding for longer tasks with less compute, training graders for coding tasks with non-verifiable rewards, improving training data quality, and researching real-time RL for coding agents. Requires a deep background in RL, strong ML fundamentals, excellent programming skills, and the ability to handle ambiguous research tasks with autonomy. | Post-trainAgent | 10 |
