A Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field is required; a PhD in Machine Learning, NLP, Computer Vision, or a closely related discipline is preferred, along with a strong track record of AI research and publications in top-tier conferences. Proven experience running large-scale reinforcement learning experiments in multimodal and vision-centric systems, including online RL settings, with demonstrated impact on domain-specific decision-making and measurable improvements in policy performance. Deep understanding of reinforcement learning algorithms and optimization methods applied to vision and multimodal learning problems, with a focus on improving policy stability, exploration, and sample efficiency in complex, high-dimensional environments involving images, video, and other modalities. Strong proficiency in PyTorch and deep learning frameworks for vision and multimodal AI, with hands-on experience building end-to-end RL pipelines covering simulation, training, evaluation, and deployment in production-grade systems. Demonstrated ability to apply empirical research to solve core RL challenges in multimodal and vision tasks, such as sample inefficiency, exploration-exploitation tradeoffs, and training instability, along with experience designing robust evaluation frameworks and iterating on algorithmic improvements to advance agent performance. Proven track record of research publications in top-tier conferences such as ICML, NeurIPS, ICLR, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV etc. Important information for candidates Recruitment scams have become increasingly common.
