Member of Technical Staff — Frontier Data

Roboflow•San Francisco, CA

6d•$150,000 - $300,000•Hybrid

About The Position

As a Member of Technical Staff on our Frontier Data team, you’ll build the environments, evaluations, and datasets that expand what frontier models can actually do. This is work at the edge of the field: identifying high-value capability gaps, then designing the tasks, reward signals, and data that close them. You’ll write the platform code that lets us run hundreds of thousands of tasks reliably and at scale, and you’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with researchers and engineers at leading AI labs who depend on what we ship. You’ll operate with a lot of autonomy across a wide surface area — systems engineering, ML tooling, and research collaboration — and your judgment about what to build will matter as much as your ability to build it.

Requirements

Strong generalist engineer energized by ill-defined problems at the frontier of AI
High agency and a bias toward action
Practical experience with agents, evaluations, or RL workflows
Strong technical background
Strong written communication

Nice To Haves

Experience with computer vision or multimodal models
Prior work with an AI lab as a data or evaluation partner

Responsibilities

Design and build RL environments, evaluations, and datasets that target high-value gaps in frontier model capability
Develop internal platforms and supporting infrastructure to run hundreds of thousands of tasks at scale, with the throughput, reproducibility, and observability that demands
Collaborate directly with researchers and engineers at leading AI labs to scope and shape dataset development against their model roadmaps
Make quality measurable — build the grading harnesses, metrics, and automated checks that tell us whether an environment or dataset is actually good
Prototype fast, then harden what works into production systems others can run without you
Contribute back to our open source projects where it accelerates the broader community
