Senior Researcher - AI Agent
About The Position
Founded in 2012, the Noah’s Ark lab has evolved into a prominent research organization with notable achievements in academia and industry. The lab’s mission focuses on advancing artificial intelligence and related fields to benefit the company and society. Driven by impactful, long-term projects, the aim is to enhance state-of-the-art research while integrating innovations into the company's products and services, including LLMs, RL, NLP, computer vision, AI theory, and Autonomous driving. The Senior Researcher will design and develop next-generation AI agents powered by large language models, enabling autonomous reasoning, planning, and task execution. This role involves building core agent capabilities such as memory, tool use, self-reflection, and long-horizon decision-making, and developing and optimizing multi-agent systems for collaboration and complex problem-solving. The researcher will also integrate AI agents with external tools, APIs, and real-world systems for end-to-end automation, explore and advance techniques in reasoning-enhanced LLMs, agent alignment, and embodied intelligence, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate cutting-edge research into scalable, production-ready systems.
Requirements
- PhD in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, or a related field, or equivalent industry experience.
- Strong background in large language models, AI agents, or decision-making systems.
- Track record of research contributions, including publications in venues such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, or equivalent applied work.
- Experience rapidly turning ideas into working prototypes and experiments.
- Solid engineering skills (e.g., Python, PyTorch) and experience working with large-scale ML systems.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work across research, engineering, and product teams.
Nice To Haves
- Familiarity with agent architectures (e.g., tool use, retrieval, planning, memory) is highly preferred.
Responsibilities
- Design and develop next-generation AI agents powered by large language models, enabling autonomous reasoning, planning, and task execution.
