ROLE DESCRIPTION

As a Reinforcement Learning Engineer, you will be the architect of the core intelligence for Hammerhead’s ORCA platform. Reporting to the Head of AI / Reinforcement Learning Engineering, you will design, train, and deploy the Orchestrated RL Control Agents that form the brain of our system, making real-time decisions to optimize power and compute resources across physical data centers. This role is for a hands-on expert who is passionate about applying cutting-edge RL research to complex, real-world industrial systems. You will be instrumental in developing the models that control physical assets like cooling systems and power distribution units to unlock massive efficiency gains in AI workloads.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- RL Model Development: Design and implement advanced reinforcement learning algorithms (e.g., multi-agent RL, model-based RL, deep RL) for real-time control of data center infrastructure.

- Simulation and Training: Build and train RL agents that can generalize to real-world, physical systems.

- From Lab to Production: Lead the transition of RL models from research and simulation to live deployment within the ORCA platform, ensuring stability and performance on mission-critical hardware.

- System Optimization: Analyze agent performance to continuously improve control strategies for tasks like peak shaving, workload shifting, and thermal management.

- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with platform engineers to define the APIs, data telemetry, and infrastructure needed to support and scale our RL agents across a global portfolio of data centers.

QUALIFICATIONS

- RL Expertise: Proven experience developing and implementing reinforcement learning algorithms, demonstrated through publications in top conferences (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR), open-source contributions, or shipped products.

- Industry Experience: 3+ years of experience applying RL to real-world problems, preferably in industrial automation, robotics, autonomous vehicles, energy systems, or other physical systems. Experience from a leading industrial or academic RL lab is highly desirable.

- Technical Skills: Deep proficiency in Python and modern ML frameworks such as PyTorch, Jax, or TensorFlow. Experience with simulation platforms and RL libraries (e.g., Ray RLlib, Isaac Gym) is a plus.

- Educational Background: MS or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, Operations Research, or a related field with a focus on machine learning or control theory.

- Problem Solver: You possess a strong theoretical background but are driven by practical application, with an ability to bridge the gap between RL theory and the constraints of physical, real-world systems.

WHAT WE OFFER

- Competitive salary, bonus, 401(k) plan and equity in a rapidly growing startup

- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage

- Opportunity to apply the latest AI technologies working with an experienced team

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
