Member of Technical Staff - Research at Polymath

About Polymath Polymath is an applied research lab focused on advancing long-horizon agent capabilities through reinforcement learning. We design and scale simulation environments where agents learn to operate safely and autonomously. We work with the world’s leading model labs to push the frontier of agent capabilities. Polymath is backed by Base10, Founders Future, Y Combinator, and other incredible investors & angels. We've raised an $8M seed, and are growing out our founding team. About the role We’re hiring a Member of Technical Staff - Research to help advance the frontier of autonomous agents. You’ll work on core research problems in long-horizon evaluation, agent post-training, and environment design, with a focus on understanding where current models fail and how to improve them. As a member of the founding team, you should expect to wear multiple hats: building benchmarks, shaping environments, writing production code, and running rigorous experiments. We’re looking for people who are excited by hard open-ended problems and want to operate at the intersection of research and engineering. Examples of projects you could work on include: Developing an advanced environment si
