Member of Technical Staff - AI Researcher, Reinforcement Learning
About Enclosure
Enclosure is the world’s first superintelligence security lab focused on preventing the sabotage, escape, and theft of ASI. We are building ASI-grade security for model weights, and nation-state-grade security for data centers.
We’re backed by leaders across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, SpaceXAI, CoreWeave, NVIDIA, other frontier AI labs, and the national security community (including former NSA and intelligence community leadership). We are frontier AI, cybersecurity, quantum security, and national security researchers.
About the Role
Enclosure is hiring an exceptional RL researcher. You'll own a significant part of our RL research as an IC. We care less about degrees and more about a track record of exploration, curiosity, and grit.
Requirements
This role requires deep experience in multiple of the following areas:
Experience with large-scale RL or post-training for language models, especially RLVR, policy optimization, or outcome-based reinforcement learning
Experience designing verifiable tasks, environments, graders, reward functions, or curricula for agentic, coding, cyber, or other long-horizon tasks
Experience training and evaluating tool-using, coding, or multi-agent systems, including agent harness design
Strong experimental judgment, including evaluating transfer, diagnosing reward hacking or specification gaming, and iterating from noisy results
Strong ML and software engineering fundamentals, with the ability to work across training, data, evals, infrastructure, and product
What Sets You Apart
We're especially excited if you:
Demonstrate strong engineering judgment in the systems you've built
Get excited by hard problems and the challenge of figuring them out
Are highly adaptive and comfortable with how quickly the frontier shifts
Have evidence of self-directed technical work, such as open-source contributions, technical writing, tools, packages, or public projects with strong systems thinking
Communicate with clarity and directness
Bring a humble, low-ego attitude and care deeply about helping the team win
Why Join
Enclosure is securing the path to superintelligence.
What we offer:
Competitive compensation package
Ownership over research direction
Close collaboration with frontier AI security and infrastructure teams
