Reinforcement Learning Environment Designer
Mechanize builds reinforcement learning environments that frontier AI labs use to train and evaluate their coding models. AI models have gotten good at narrow coding tasks but still fail at the complex, judgment-heavy parts of software engineering. We build the environments that expose those failures and help models improve. You'll design, build, and refine RL tasks. Each task is a self-contained software engineering challenge with a prompt, an environment, and an automated grader. You own the full lifecycle: coming up with the idea, implementing the grading infrastructure, running frontier models against the task, analyzing where and why they fail, and iterating until the task is rigorous and fair. Coming up with good task ideas requires being clever: finding situations where a frontier model will fail in interesting ways, which means seeing gaps that the model itself doesn't see. You will use coding agents heavily, and a large part of the job is directing them well, evaluating their output, and knowing when they are failing in subtle ways. Strong technical fundamentals combined with an intuition for AI model behavior. You need to anticipate where a model will take shortcuts, distinguish genuine capability gaps from grader issues, and understand how a model will interpret a prompt. Most engineers significantly underestimate what frontier coding agents can already do; candidates who have spent significant time working with them will have a real head start. Good fit if you: Are graduating in 2026 or 2027 Can code in Python Are confident working independently Are motivated by problems that require both technical skill and creative cleverness No prior ML or AI experience required Probably not a good fit if you: Want a product engineering role building features for end users Prefer a highly collaborative team environment with shared ownership Want extensive structured mentorship This is independent, high-ownership work. You own your tasks from start to finish, with regular check-ins and feedback. Strong performers are recognized and promoted quickly. Benefits include 401k, health, dental, vision, and life insurance. Applying takes less than one minute.
