About The Position

As an ML Developer Experience Engineer , you will empower ML engineers and developer teams to leverage reinforcement learning without needing deep RL expertise. You’ll build developer-centric tooling, abstractions, and workflows that make training, evaluating, and deploying RL models intuitive, robust, and scalable — fueling our customers’ ability to adopt, expand, and own RL use cases. This role is core to our land-and-expand strategy: your work will enable customers to scale independently, reducing friction and unlocking self-service adoption across organizations. You will collaborate closely with Technical Success, Product, and Engineering team to identify patterns, extract reusable solutions, and shape the boundary between tooling and product. This role is based in Paris or remote within EMEA.
