About The Position

ABOUT ABUNDANT Abundant builds reinforcement learning environments for frontier AI labs. We design and operate the simulation infrastructure where next-generation models learn to reason, act, and solve complex problems. We’re a small, high-impact team scaling fast. THE ROLE Own end-to-end execution of Abundant’s most critical projects. Translate ambiguous research requirements into structured workflows, manage distributed expert teams, and deliver flawless results under tight timelines. This is a founding-level operations role with outsized ownership.

Requirements

• Relentless executor — you have extreme agency and drive; when you see a problem you fix it, when a path doesn’t exist you create one
• Thrive in chaos — ambiguity energizes you; you’ve built systems and processes from nothing in fast-moving environments
• High-autonomy track record — experience in operations, consulting, or program management where you owned outcomes, not just tasks
• Technically fluent — you understand software systems and data pipelines well enough to earn credibility with engineers

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with AI evaluation, benchmarks, or reinforcement learning

Responsibilities

• Own project delivery end-to-end — scoping, design, contributor ops, QA, and handoff to AI lab partners
• Build and manage relationships with researchers at frontier labs
• Recruit, scale, and run distributed teams of domain experts — sourcing, performance, quality, engagement
• Build the operational playbook — processes, tooling, and QA systems that don’t exist yet
