Senior AI Engineer - Reinforcement Learning

Resaro builds advancedAI testing software to help organizations verify, validate, and trust their most critical AI systems - fromcomputer vision togenerative AI andautonomous systems. Our mission is to ensure that AI technologies deployed in real-world, high-stakes environments are robust, explainable, and secure.

We work closely with our customers throughembedded delivery teams who operate on-site or in close collaboration. These teams tailor solutions to specific mission needs, helping organizations - especially in thepublic safety and national security sectors - evaluate and improve the performance of their AI-enabled systems.

About the Role:

As theSenior AI Engineer - Reinforcement Learning, you will be the primary architect of our AITest, Evaluation, Verification, and Validation (TEVV) product suite for reinforcement learning systems. You will lead the development of next-generation AI testing and assurance frameworks with applications inAutonomous Driving andRobotics. Your mission is to scale our capabilities inReinforcement Learning,to ensure autonomous agents are safe, robust, and explainable in the field.

This is initially a hands-on, individual-contributor role, with the opportunity to build and lead a team as the RL practice matures.

Key Responsibilities

• Independently implement Resaro’s RL validation prototype to expose agent instability and vulnerability in a mission-critical and complex environment.
• Build, lead and mentor a global, cross-functional, high-performing team of AI researchers and engineers as the RL practice scales.
• Define the long-term vision and technical roadmap for RL TEVV, focusing on validating RL algorithms and learned policies in complex environments with mission-critical applications acrosssystem control,autonomous vehicles, and robotics.
• Advance methods for learning probabilistic reward functions from human feedback (RLHF) to align AI behavior with mission goals.
• Partner with Product Management to translate product vision, customer problems, and market opportunities into end‑to‑end solution architecture and technical roadmaps.

Must-Have Skills and Experience

• Master / Ph.D. in Robot Reinforcement Learning or a closely related field.
  • Proven track record in developing and implementing novel RL and ML algorithms, e.g. research or commercial implementation.
  • Demonstrated deep theoretical understanding of and practical experience with the RL framework, including bandit setting, (in-)finite horizon setting, on- and off-policy RL, and trust-region RL approaches.
• Experience in Bayesian Machine Learning and probabilistic models.
• Understanding of AI/ML/RL lifecycle and the state-of-the-art approaches and limitations  of testing and validating complex use cases.
• Strong skills in requirements gathering, stakeholder communication, and solution scoping.

Nice-to-Have

• Experience withfully differentiable deep learning for highly unstable systems.
• Experience with Active Learning and RLHF.
• Background inmodel compression and pruning for deploying large RL models onto edge devices.
• Hands-on experience withBayesian Meta-Learning to reduce training time and absolute error in complex models.
• A strong portfolio of innovation, including multiple successfulpaper submissions at conferences like NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, IROS, ICRA, CoRL, and a strong patent history.
• Experience spearheading global AI initiatives and delivering AI solutions for both B2G (Unmanned Systems) and B2B (IoT) sectors.
• Demonstrated success inleading cross-functional teams to deliver technical solutions.
• Knowledge ofdeployment constraints in high-security or classified environments.
• Prior exposure or experience with directly engaging senior stakeholders from Director to C-suite level.

Why Join Resaro

• Work onmission-critical AI systems in defence, aerospace, and public safety.
• Help define the future ofAI testing and assurance in real-world environments.
• Collaborate with atight-knit, expert team working at the intersection of AI, systems engineering, and policy.
• Shape product direction while being close to the operational reality of AI deployments.
